wT EVENING STAR. et ee ae LocAL INTELLIGENCE. Mn. Joux D. Hawuack.—We publish be- jows statement from Mr Hammack, in ex- goation of the connection of his name with Fe ent arrests for burglary, backed by ie afidavits of five citizens testifying that up to late hour on Thewsday night last, Wash- ington Nailor was drunk. “We have to add, so far as Mr. Hammack is concerned, that the investigation into the charge against him of complicity in the esca) of Nailor resulted in the estab! ent of the following facts, vis: | ‘ That Nailor and his party were not bis as- sociates, nor were they in the habit of fre- quenting his house; their visit there on Thurs- ‘ay being an unusual occurrence. pat he declined going to the watch-house on Nailor’s behalf, but went only when in- formed that bis testimony relative to the per- sons who were with N. on the night before was required for the ends of justice. That he did not proffer to become Wash. Nailor’s bail, but yielded to the su on of the Chief of the night police that he should do so, only on hearing from that officer that the testimony against him proved merely that Nailor had got into a scrape by being ao drank as to permit himself to he carried he knew not whither by Ray and Crogan; and aizo that from the moment he (Hammack) Jeft the watch-house he had nothing further to do with the affair. We stated on Saturday last, that the rumor that Mr. Hammack carried Nailor out of the city was unfounded, and the testimony proved the correctness of that opinion of ours. TO THE EDITOR OF THE STAR. I ask at your hands, asa wey act of jus- tice, the publication of the following state- ments: I appeared before Captain Birch on yesterday, at the hour fixed by him, to have a final disposal of the charge preferred against me of aiding the escape of W. Naylor. Four witnesses were examined for the prosecution. Their testimony, however, did not, in the least, implicate me ; none of them saw me in the company of Naylor after his discharge from the watch-house; the case was, there- fore, dismissed, the Justice remarking that the warrant was originally issued on rumor merely. In reply to an article appearing in your paper, I state that no question as to my property or liability was asked me either be- fore or after I went security for Naylor, nor have I ever testified on that subject. And to meet the charge that I knew Naylor was s0- ber when [ testified he was drunk. I append to this statement numerous affidavits of wit- nesses, some of whom saw him near 12 o’clock on the night of the burglary, and they all testify as to his inebriate condition. It has been charged, also, that I was a volunteer witness in the case of Naylor. My answer simply is, that I was summoned to the watch- house by an officer to testify as to who was last seen, on the night of the burglary, in the company of Naylor, and I gave the informa- tion on that point. I might say much more on this subject, but I prefer to give to the pubiic this simple narrative of the facts of my case. Joun D. Hammack. Wasutxetox, April 16, 1856. AFFIDAVIT OF GEORGE M CAULEY.

Given under my hand and eeal, this 14th day of April, 1856. D. Surtn, J.P. [u. s.J With reference to these affidavits, we have to say that while they fully substantiate Mr. Hammack’s testimony that Nailor was drunk earlier in the night, ae do not prove that he was so drunk when the burglary was com- mitted as not to be able to take part in it. it was the opinion of the watchmen, and Messrs. Forrest and Thompson, who arrested him, that most of his appearance of intoxiea- tion was feigned; as he seemed much more drunk on reaching the watehhouse, than when first arrested. fhe fact that he had beon passing through the aperture between the stores, through which a dead-drunk man could not possibly crawl, while the burglars Were traversing the three premises—Hare’s, Hoffar’s, and Forrest’s—and that immedi- ately after being discharged, he hurried to Ray's, where he was found concealing stolen goods under the house, or trying to get them off the premises, (by the officers who hurried up there within a few minutes after Nailor was discharged,) — positively that he was by no means as drunk as he pretended to be.
