LARCENY CASES. B. H. Several of Them Tried and Passed Upon by the Court. ‘Ihe young man arrested in Baltimore Monday with a bicycle in his possession proves to be Walter R. Stewart, a former clerk in the city pest office In this city, anc when Detective Rhodes went to Balti- more and got him he confessed that he had taken the bicycle from Assistant Building Inspector Holmes, and said that whisky caused him to take it. He returned here with the officer, and yesterday he was ar- raigned in Judge Miller’s court on a charge of grand larceny. The prisoner was not represented by cour sel, and he admitted the facts charged. Judge Miller held him for the grand jury, anc he was ccmmitted in default of $00 security. A young man named Frank Fitzgerald ‘as in the dock on a charge of theft, and , too, attributed his downfall to the use of alcoho stimulant: Mrs. Louisa Hilton, a colored woman, tola the court that Fitzgerald, who was with a huckster wagon, came to her house selling vegetables, and she gave him a $10 ncte to get changed. He went off and did not return. “<r ked the woman for the loan of a dollar,” and when she gave me the $10 bill to get changed I got drunk.” ‘The court ordered restitution, and im- posed a fine of $20. In default of payment of the $30 he was given two months in jail. John Jackson, 2 colored man _ from Georgetown, was in the toils because of his gccd luck when he went fishing. He didn’t catch many fish, but he did hook a line and reel from the river, and John Allnut claimed them. He had been fishing a few days before, and while neglecting his line hb had gone off with it. Jackson declined to give up the reel and rod, but this, Judge Miller said, was not larceny, and dismissed the case. The reel was turned over to Allnut. —- The Cattle Market.

(Back numbers can be obtained at The Star office.) CHAPTER XXI.—JUSTICE DREW'S PLAN. The keepers withdrew on this occasion without waiting for either prisoner or vis!- tor to request it. ‘ou are not standing captivity as well as I thought you would,” said Golding, with an assumption of his condescending affa- bility. “What do you want?” asked Mr. Warren, with an accent that caused Golding to re- spond, in surprisg: “You ask that as if I wasn’t the first who had called.on you this morning.” ou’re not."” Golding looked sharply at the prisoner, and Mr, Warren debated whether it would be safe or expedient to tell him about Wanga. The black man had said that tolding feared him. No harm to Elsie seemed to threaten fromi the disclosure, but he refrained from making it at the mo- ment. He would see what this persecutor had in mind first. n to tare up and down.” ‘Warren,” said Golding, presently, in a business-like way, “I can get you out of this.” The prisoner made no response. “It's a question simply of terms,” con- tinued Goiiing, after a moment of waiting. “Dutton’s diamonds,” said Warren. “Certainly. I told you there were other Ways than waiting on Freeman's possible recovery.” “And this Is one of them," interrupted Warren. “Well, let me tell you right now that you can propose no terms that would do any good, so far as the diamonds are concerned. I don’t know where they are, except one, and I never saw but that one, and it ts beyond my power to give it to you.” i “Was it the President?” “I think so.” Golding looked genuinely distressed. “What became of it, Warren?” he asked, weakly. “See here, Golding,” exclaimed the pris- oner, “I think I can talk to you, for you are a civilized man, or were one before you went to Africa and got the diamond fever. Heavens! what won't that do to any man? I want you to forget your passion for dia- monds in general for a minute, and for Dutton’s diamonds In particular, and talk with me as man to man, as a man with something like human sympathies in his heart. Can you do it?” “T suppose I can,” replied Golding, consid- erably surprised by this appeal, “but I warn you that I'm pretty sure I know what you're coming to and that I shan’t hesitate to use it for accomplishing my end. Freeman ard I were too long in the wilderness of Africa together not to learn something of each other's secrets.” Hl ‘The prisoner shook his head emphatically. “My wife and I had talked over your proba- ble knowledge of us,”’ he said, “‘and that isn’t what I want to speak of at all. You may Mr. Warren allowed the wild rage to pro- ceed for a time without interruption; he saw that it was indeed imposs'ble for Golding to shake off even for a moment the avaricious passion that had supplanted all ordinary emotions and impulses within him. : I told you,” Golding continued, “that nobody could resist those diamonds, es- Peclally the President, and, least of all, a young woman. I ought to have known! Why didn’t I guard against this? But what could I have done? The diamonds Were in your house; you wouldn’t let me into your confidence, party because of this old-time secret and partly because you Wanted the diamonds yourself; and the girl found them, and. of course, she made 5 em, and by this ti been Joinel by her lover? me She Bas Golding,” “said Mr. Warren at last, ‘you're a lunatic.” The cool contempt with which this wes uttered brought the excited man to a halt. He glared at the prisoner. “I say you're a lunatic, for a fool would know better,” continued Mr. Warren. “I see there’s no use of appealing to y sympathetic side, for you haven't got any. So, I'll prove to you that my Elsie hasn't taken your dirty diamonds, and we'll see what you'll do about it. A black man came to see me this morning. Golding started so violently that Mr. Warren paused an instant, and when he returned he simply sai “His name is Wang “Wanga in America!” whispered Golding, face white and his Nps widely parted hen everything is lost!" rubbish!” exclaimed Mr. War- ) You suppose that if I could get out of this place I'd be stopped or dictated to by a diabolical savage like that? What kind of a man are you, anyhow, to be so much upset by a mere boy?” Golding was trembling. Had there been a chair in the room he would have sought it for support. As it was, he grasped the bars of “the cage” and bowed his head upon his arms. Mr. Warren turned away in ‘ust. ‘Y¥ don’t know Wanga.” groaned Gold- ing; “you called him diabolical; you don’t know how true that is. “I know what he has done. He has car- ried away my little girl, and holds her as hostage for Dutton’s diamonds, and I can’t give them to him. Can you imagine that I care the snap of my finger what becomes of your charges, your affidavits, your in. formation and belief In the face of t Don't you suppose that if I had the dia- n.onds I'd give every one of them to have my Elste back safe at home?” “T see it all now,” mumbled Goldin: was Wanga who did for Freeman— “Yes, he told me so.” ‘What fiendish audaci ot at all! Don’t you see he had the whip hand in dealing with me? What could I do? Raise my hand against the black demon, and--my Elsie could suffer. Do you think I could have called on the guards to hold him? He's not alone. There’s some- vith him, Sam ——. I forgot his other leeker?”" Yes, that’s it. Sam Meeker is keeping guard over Elsie, if Wanga doesn’t return at a given time, when I don’t know, Sam will—man! are you listening? Sam _ will murder my little girl!” Golding stood with one hand on the erat- ing his head down, looking abstractedly at the floor. “Yes,” he said unemotionally, “I reckon Sam _ would.” “Well, can’t you do something about it cried Warren beginning to despair of arov ing the man, even through his eupidity. use that for as much pressure as it’s worth, but it won't effect nothing, for I don’t know anything about the diamonds, I tell you. My daughter Elsie has gone.” Golding started in evident surprise. “Where? When?” he asked eagerly. { ‘Yesterday noon she left the house to meet | the young man she is engaged to. She was to cross the meadows in front of my house. She hasn't been seen since. Your warrant was served on me just after the search was begun. If your heart hasn't turned abso- lutely to stone, I don’t need to tell you what suffering and sorrow these accursed dia- monds—” “Of course, it does, man, of course it does; the girl has gone off with them!" and Gold- ing began to tear up and down the room, raving and stamping. His noise attracted the wondering atten- tion of the keepers in the public room, but they did not venture to interfere. The ec- centric justice had been wakened by one of them and informed of the first visitor to Mr. Warren. “You ought to have arrested the negro!” growled Justice Drew, “‘but if the man Gold- ing comes, let him go jn and do as he pleases.” So the keepers who had taken all the law they knew from the justice for as long as they had known what law was, listened in “My daughter will be murdered: “You're free, you've made me a prisoner. You know I'm innocent now, whatever you thought before. You're not going to stand there and be balked by a mere kid of a savage, are you?” “You don’t know Wanga,” returned Gold- ing without moving. “I know that he’s ag hum=n as you are, and that he’s braver and : ler, and that he’s got the samo Insane greed for dia- monds that has wrecked whatever manhood you ever had. Wanga can be beaten if there's a may to try It Mr. Warren’s unmeasured contemp? was evidently without effect on Golding. After a moment he locked up and said: “You sald something about the President. What do you know of it?” Mr. Warren turned on hts heei, too pro- foundly exasperated to reply. “What have you done with the Pres!- dent?” wonder to the sounds of excited conversation in what they called “the cage” and let It continue without interference. Golding’s voice was discouraged, m: choly, and he seemed like a man »; under & great weight of sorrow. ————S— | unfortunate Cod-liver oil suggests consumption, which is al- most unfortunate.

It’s been there all the time! I knew it! How long has Wanga been gone?” Mr. Warren felt the most intense hatred for the man on the other side of the grat- ing. But for its presence he felt that he should fall upon him to such purpose that the warrant for his arrest could serve for a new charge, of a similar kind, a charge be- ing made merely in the name of the victim. “I refuse to tell you,” he answered be- tween compressed teeth. “Tren I'll find out from the guards,” said Golding, starting toward the door. Mr. Warren made a last appeal. “Golding,” he cried, “won't you lift a hand to save my daughter? Think of your responsibilities in the matter—”" “I know nore. It was Freeman's fault. If I can get the President I will do what I can with Wanga. Look here! you've used pretty harsh lenguae to me. I don’t cher- ish resentment on that account, for you're n&turally greatly worked up, but J tell you that if you had made an ally of me in- stead of an enemy in the beginning this might not have happened.” He hurried from the room and banged the dccr after him. “Guard! Guard!” shouted Mr. Warren at the top of his.lungs. One of the keepers came in on the run. “What's the matter?” he gasped. “Can’t you tell Judge Drew I must see him? It's a matter of life or death! Quick, as you hope for mercy above!” “I'll ask him,” returned the keeper, run- ning out. : Mr. Warren paced up and down in agony for several minutes. Atlast. the eccentric justice came in. “What can I do for you, Mr. Warren?” he asked, in a quick, low tone. “In heaven's name, judge, send somebody on a swift horse to overhaul Golding.
