The whole outfit s ** gnide, ”—worthless, in fact, as one who allows himsels to be taken in by the circulars will find out if he invests. Aside from this, now- ever, Williams is in another line. He keeps nove of the jewelry on hand, but buys from others when he getd an order. Hir stronghold is in BOOKS WHICH HE ADVERTISES AS OBSCENE. While the fish caught with the snide-jeweiry bait entitlea to #ympatby, these who send moncy ith the expectation of getting some ** rich and very racy reading matter™ deserve 1o be robbed, as they are.

It was the aavertisement of this book which caneed Hensbaw to bring in Williams. When questioned, he offered to show the work, and the officer went to his room to look at a copy. Williams banded over o paper-covered volume, 4x. 214 inchee, on the cover of which was printed **Fanny Hill." 1ts contents consisted simply of & collectivn of anecdotes, arranged under heads such os_‘‘Absence of Mind," ‘*Children,” °*Mau- sicians,” etc. There were no_enzravings of any kind in it.

A woman on West Adams. street was recently waited unon by a man of semi-nautical appearance, who, after remarking, **Shiver my timbers!” and likewise, ** Yo, ho, me hearty! aid he would farl bis mizzen ratlins und 1u@ up his bows for & minute, and show her something as would make her tarry toplights sveck out with admiration. **I'm only a poor enilor, ma'am, " said he, **and T've sailed the seas over for many a year, and only this moing my bark hove her anchor at Rush street bridee,—163 days out from Pernumbuco. ™ **Mercy me!" snid she, edgingawsy; ** wasthere yellow fever there?” +*No, ma'am,” said he, reassuringly; ‘‘and it there was the vesscl was thorvughly disinfected; they pot gallons unon gallons of quarantiue in her hold, and burnt it all between decks and at the mastheads.

The case of B. F. Huber and J. P. White, charged with forgery and obtaining $1,000 under faise pretenses from the Rev. J. C. R. Layton, of Evanston, came before Justice Summerfield yes- terdsy morning. Huber waived examination, and the trial of White was proceeded with, Mr. Charles 1. Reed defending, ana Mr. Morton Culver and Gen. Leake condncting the prosecution. J. C. R. Layton was eworn, and said that he was 2 Methodist minister at Evanston. He received a Jetter from White, Aug. 24, stating that he had a section of land in Cherokee County, Ia., which ne wished to disoose of. On receiving the letter the witness called at the ofice of White, who showed him on a map the location of the lond, and slso exhibited the abstract. There- was some talk of wuading for a piece of land that the witness owned. They talked further, until the defendant asked him how he would exchiange his house in Evanston for the section of land 1n lowa. \itness saul he would Eive him the equity of the louse snd something oeside forthe land. Whitesaid the owner of the lan sived in the country, out had icft the whole matter in his hands, White usked $1,200 beside the cauity of the Evanston property for the section in Iowa. Witness said he could only give 31,000, The next day witness went to_White's office and held further conversation., Witness agamn sug- sested that the owner of the land come 10 Evans- ton and lookat his house. but White again said the owner had left the whole matter in nis hands. ‘Tney finally agreed upon a_trade. \Witness was to give $1,000 in money ard $100 worth of house- hold gooas, besides s Evanston property, for the Towa scction. White agreed to meet nim at the depot, and go up- to Evanston and look at his property. At the depor White told him that he could not go, bat he had seen Mr. Dewer, a real- estate dealer, who had assared him that the trado and, if needs be, you must be prepured 1o was a fair one. - The next morning he went azamn to:White's office, where he met Iuber for the Hrst time. 'There Mr. White gave witness the deed to the Jowa land. [The wilness exhibited the deed as evidence.] Witness told White that he would £ ont to lowa and see the land. White sugeested that ne pay the SL 000 and take the deed witn him | to fowa to get it recorded. Witness refused. “io do that, bat said that he wonld pnt up his deed and $1,000 in the bank subject to Mr. Schmidt's (the owner's) order. Then witness was introduced to Mr. Huber. and White said that he wasasub- ozent of Huber's. luber and White went out-of- doors, and then retnrned and asked him to make a. Dproposition.

Tle foand the record to agree with the abstract, 'und the Jand. o be tair land.” Sept. 4 he farnished an abstract of his Evauston properiy to Mr. White, and with White and Iluber he went to.the office of_his attor- ney. Mr. Culver, on Randolph strect. There for the firel time a flaw was found in the abstract, the mortzage for S1,000 not being in the rizht hande, After some discussion witness agreed t fx np the discrepancy. Witness went Lo hfs banic and procared 51,000 and handed it to Lis luwyer. The money was given to Mr. White. who immediately transferred it to Mr. Huber; then both White and” Huber went ont together. Wit~ neus sent the deed to Iows to be recorded, and two days later hie called at White's office, when White told him that Huber had been robbed of the $1,000. Mis suspicion was then aroused. Subsc- quently he Jearned that the deed was forged, and thut Mr. Schmigt had not eygned it. “he cross-exomination by Mr. Reed failed to shuke the testimony of the witness. Bir.

[When shown the_ deed given by ' the defendants 10 Layton, he declared the sigmature of John Schmidt u forzery, not having becn signed by him- Belf.] Witness had never authorized White or Ilubér to act as agents for his land, and had never Becn or heard of them uhtil the past week. iuber was called a3a witness, and testified_that he gave White an option to buy the land at $1.75 anacre. Witness did not know that the deed given Layton was fraudulent or s forgery. Wit- ness was shown an opened express package, and teatificd that it was the one in which the deed came 10 hun from Davenport, Ia. He bad a commission of 10 cents an acre on the land. e received the 51,000, and was robved of the entirc sum i a saloun in_Calhoun place, an siley running from Clark to Dearborn sirects, between Mudison aud Washington. L. A. Uartman, & lumber-desler in Evanston, was sworn, and said that he had desk-room in White's_oflice, On the day the contract was signed \White told Layton thithe was only acting assub-agent for Huber, and that he had never seen Mr. Schmidt. P.J. White, the defendant, said that he had been given an option on this lowa land by, Haber. Hle thought the (nd was cheap and wanted to buy it. He wentlo the American Express Company's office aud paid for the package containing the abstract. After talking with seversl parties he accidentally met Mr. Layton, and the story of the transuction had been told accurately by that gen- tleman when on the witness-stand. He did not think it necessory totell Mr. Layton at first his exact connection with the Jowa land, butafter the negotiations had proceeded some ways he told Layton that luver was the agent, and that he mself was only the sub-agent. Justice Summerdeld said that it was evident to him that White had becn made a stool-pizeon by Huber, and had acted fairly in the matter. e therefore ordered his discharye, and held Huber to the Criminat Court in”$2,50) bonds. Huber was taken 1o the County Jail yesterday evening. i THE COURTS. TAE LAING HABEAS CORPUS. Judge Moore yesterdsy decided the habeas corpus case of C. W. Laing, who was secking to get possession of his child Clara. Tie claimed that she had been ket from him by his mother-in-law, Mrs. Day, who refused to give her up. The case was arzued last Monday, but Judge Moore sus- pended his decision in hopes the parties might make some amicable settlement of the matter. At the opening of court. Gen. Eldridge said he wistied to state on behalf of Mrs. Day that she never directly or indirectly instizated Laing's ar- Test. 'The loss of the $5,000 of bonds was nothing compared with the stigma cast on the child. She could not help belicving Laing was gullty, but she would promise mever 1o allude to the matter either in the presence of Laing or his dsugater. He was not the kind father he had been repre- sented 10 be. She thought the chuid would die it taken away from er, and would not give herup Folunzaraly, but would abide by the decision of the ‘ourt. Judie Moore s2id If he had known when the case was heard that Mra,'Day had nothing to do with Laing's arrest, he wonld not have said what he did. The clld, bowever, must be given to Mr. Laing. Until last Saturday a weck ago, she never was n law 1n the possession of her erandmother. Laing could take carc of her, and, if necessary for her bealth, expend her fortune, ana 23 he had been a good father there was nothing left but to give his child back to him, Neither Mrs. Day nor Clara was in court, but before this time tac latter is in her fatner's care.

MKIRDY--DYKE, THE TRUE INWARDNESS of the McKirdy-Dyke abduction case came to the surface yesterday ufter Capt. Dyke and his prodi- gal sponse had puiled out of port with the schooner Evalne Bates. Itwas learned that when Mrs. Dyke came along Scuth Water street Tuesday evening and met McKirdy, and' inquired of him where her husband's = vessel was lying, that oncient moriner was well stimulated, and ave the woman to_ underatand that the Evaline ates was notat the Lamber Starkct, where Mrs. Dyke cxpected to find her, but sald she wouid be tuere, ana prevailed on the anxious inquirer to step into his office, No. 208 South Water street, ind wait awhile. Beinz an old acquaintance_and former shipmate of her husband’s, Mra. Dykc | readily consented to an_invitation to partake of something of & liguid nature, but whether of & stimulating kind or not was not divulged, From the ofiice the pair got’ into Byrne's saloon, close by, where McKirdy added some wine to Mra. Dyke's Belfast ginger ale, 2na then told her that her Liusband's schooner had gone oat, and she hud better 2o home with hiw and remain with his wife until Capt. Dyke returncd. She assented to the arranzement, and both got ‘into McKirdy's busay, which had ocen standing at_the door. and away, They stopoed at 100 North Jefferson street, about midnizht of Tnesday. agd she: baying some misgivings as to the coaructer of the house, refased to remain_lonscr than ten minates, and staried away with MeKirdy mn the buggy. * Right' in_ here, is where the thread of tne story i3 tangled.

Her busband was fnformed of her where- abouts, and went to the hotel, and, after receiv- ing an explanation of the circumstances attending her disappearance, took her on bourd the schooner, which departed yesterday. 5 Alrs. Dyie 18 said to be subject to *lspells,” or Bts, which affect her brain, and render her at times almost helpless. Stimulauts have 2 bud elfect on her, ana it is believed by her friends that McKirdy, being nware of her bodily weakaess, acted inan outrizeons manner. On tne other hand, McKirdy asserts that he did not act toward the woman as re-. orted, and has said that he wonid prosecute Capt. 5yku for having him arrested. Reports were current about the Lumber Market yesterday that Capt. Dyke had offered to withdraw the prosecution of the charge of kidnappin on conaition that McKirdy woula not take any pro ceedings aguinst nim for the arrest, but_that bold manmer refused to compromise, ond Capt.
