RauEtaw, N.

The readers of the Hgnatp are already familiar ‘with the history of these desperadoes, who have so dong outraged the taws of tne State, and upon each of whose heads a price had been set by the State gov- ernment. They were outlawed by Governor Holden end large rewards offered both by the State and eounty for their arrest, but even this did not deter ‘Wem from committing the most daring, bloody and INHUMAN DEEDS on record. For @ period of over elght years, com. mencing in 1883, the Lowreys and their associates, the Oxendines and others, who are ® mixture of Indian, negro and Caacasian, held a high carnival ef crime im Robeson and the adjacent counties. They became a terror to all law-abiding and peace- ful citizens, and every effort to capture them proved @nsuccessful. In the inmost recesses of an almost impenetravie swamp their headquarters are estab- Mened, and from this they emerged only when their mecessities required, or when they desired to wreak vengeance on some person or persons who had meeeetelatets Nar Admiralty Cases—Important Cases in Bauk- raptey—Charge of Desertion from a Ship— Suit Against a Mining Company— Business in the General Sessions Before Recorder Hackett. of ided, and it 18 une ae od of Bs CHITED STATES SUPREME CCUAT.

Lowrey and his gang ambushed the party, and a Volley killed two, wounded several. and put tne re- mainder to fight.

In shoit, THEY DEFIED ALL AUTHORITY, espised the efforts of the local olicials to effect ‘shelr arrest, and inspired such a terror among the eitizens that few would be foolharmty enough to at- ‘tempt to make one of a party to capture them, and they roamed the country lving monuments of a feeble and miserably conducted government, and ® menace to alt peaceably disposed citizens. Lf a better evidence of the utter contempt in which they held te local authorities were wauting than the Tollowing 1t 1s hard to say how it would be found:— One of the gang, for whom a reward of $400 had een offered, one day presented himself to a citizen, and supalated that the latter might arrest him aud godge him in the county jail at Lumberton on condi- fon that he would share the reward equally with ‘Bim in two week from the date of arrest.

A Cashier In Dificulty Steals $300 from His Employers—45,000 Nee‘les stolen by an Employe—Robberies in the Gold Room and on Brondway in Open Day. ‘Walter F, Magee, a dashing young man twenty-six years of agé, @ resident of Rhode Island and cashier to the firm of Adriance, Robbins & Co., of 355 Broad- way, Was yesterday morning charged before Judge Dowling, by Joseph B. Lockwoou, a copartner in the concern, with defrauding them of $300 in @ very in- genious manner, The circumstances are these:— Magee has been entrusted with a certain sum cf money each day for the purpose of defraying the current expenses and making disbursements ofsmall amounts for which it would otherwise be necessary to draw checks, Mrs, FE, W. Robbins, who is the wite of William M. Robbins, one of the partners, has, it appears, an account with the frm, from Which it seems that orders for money made by her were pald. On the 81st of July iast the defendant made an entry Jn his cash book. to the effect that he had paid the avove amount of $300 to Mr. Robbins, her husband, and this was charged to her account. Tne amount was posted in the regular manner, and was not noticed until Weanesday, when the books were being regularly audited by the proprietors, When this amount was called over Mr. Robbing stated that he had never Teceived any such amount, put he would see Mrs, Robbins. This lady was consulted about it, and she unhesitatingly denied having received this sum from the hands of Magee. or that she ever author- ized such an entry. Magee was trotted to the “tapis” and an explanation was Instantly de- manded, but he could give no satisfactory account of the money, 224 subsequently averred that the money was paid. The old, old tale comes looming up in this case, Magee has been living too fast, spending a great deal but earning very litle in comparison, and, finding vankruptcy and an un- Pleasant exposé threatentng him, he employed the property of his emp ployers to extricate himself from his diMicniues, He isa young man of good educa- tion and has been brought up in a good family.

At this time another gentleman named Willtam H. Olstead, of 30 Wall street, was pre- sent.

He had observed that Heslin was watching his vehicle, but was not aware for what purpose his vigtlance had been exerted until he missed the pro- perty entrusted to his care, He at once went back and found Heslin in the act of opening the caso, whien he said had fallen off the truck, Of course, had he been as honest as he pretended to be he would have catiert the ariver’s attention to nis los, which would have been much easier than carrying it on to a side strect and rifling it, under the pre- tence of seeking the address of the owner, The lat- ter story was considered too thin to hold water, and he was comm:tied for trial before Judge Bed- ford in default of 00 bail. THE TREXTOY BANGER, SWAY. ACQUITTED OF A CHARGE OF FORGERY. This tria), in which Alpheas Swayze, a leading ‘Trenton stock broker, estate agent ana banker, was charged with forgery, continued until noon yester- day, When it was stopped by Chief Justice Beasley. fn a manner that has won for him the thanks of the community. It was evident daring Friday morning that there had been a conspiracy to ruin Mr. Swayze. The Chief Justice said:—In the opinion of the Court tt was little use to go any further, He would Not call on the counsel for the defence to aay any- thing, for ao sensible man would took at that case and not be satisfied. The Court was of opinion that the defendant did not commit the alleged forgery. No man in his senses could, after the evidence that nad been adduced, have any doubt on the matter, THE ALLEGATION is that Mr. Swayze, a leading business man tn Tren- ton, did take @ $1,090 nove and change ihat ito a $2,000 note.

W. Titus, the endorser, said, “Swayze, that was 4 $1,000 note I en- dorsed for Jacob 8. Carr,” and yet that very nignt he gave Mr. Swayze a check for $1,009 for new siock transacifons. If Mr. Tivus knew that Mr. Swayze was @ forger Would he have done thait THE DESIGN. I may say that from the moment I saw that note ail doubt was at an end, ‘That note stated $2,000, aad it has cen fampered wiih, Can man doubt what it means after hearing what the bank officers and experts in writing have said? It means w de. sign to convict an honest ian; and perhaps the party who has done it will find ont that there is a way fo punish villany of (his kind. ‘the jury mstantly revarned a verdict of not guilty, and the Chief Jusiice orderod the prosecuvor to take charge of tue note.

Had the counsel first investigate? this question he would have found that when Brigham Yo wag Governor of this Territury, and nis selected friend, Judge Snow, now one of his: counsel, sat upon the District and the Supreme Bench of the Territory, Gratd were for years selected, summoped and impanelied precisely as they ROW are.

Wet WE toes eh? Ttia id by counsel on both sides that at common law the Court might ether grant or refuse this motion, in. the exercise of a sound discretion. Many au- thorities were cited on the argament sustaining thie proposition. One of the counsel the defendante- fought to account tor the fact thas there seems ta be a preponderance of authority against the grant- ing of such motion to quash, by conjecturing thar when such motion: granted they are not often reported. He also w that this Court is not bound to respect any decisions rendered outside of this Territory, unless they be reudered by the Suprem Court of the United States. ae) Without pausing now ‘a Consider these arguments Jet us proceed to inquire what are the interests of the public and the rights of tue defendant, as in- volved in thia motion. It is unquestionably to the- Interest of tng pyniio that @ man indicted for crime, if guilty should he couvicied: if innocent, acquitted; and that too with as little delay as may be consis ‘With the rights of the accused, and with those safe- guards which experience has approved, But will it romote the interests and rights either of the pub- ic or of @n accused citizen to have many indict- ments and many trials for offences of the same class, rather than one inalctment and one trial covering the whule? The Court is bound to presume that the evidence before tae Grand Jary authorized, nay, qvired the alxteen charges contaimed im tis dictment. If, now, the Court should grant the motion of the defendant, and quash the indictment. Decause it contains these sixteen counts, the Grant Jury, which is not yet Gichseeety would be in duty bound to find sixteen new indictments. Or, if the Court should compel the prosecution to elect to go to trial on some one count only, striking out the others, then the Grand Jury would be in duty bound. to flad firteen new indictments, Thus, in either event, the defendant would be subjected to sixteen indictments aud sixteen triais, How this could pro- mote the interests and rignis either of the public or of the defendant, it is not easy to perceive, nay, it is diMeult to imagine anything more harassing and vexatious to tle deiendant. Indeed, the learned counsel forthe defendant failed to show wherein this would be auy favor to their client, Had sixtecn indictinents been found in tue first instance instead of one, could not the defendant's counsel urge, with. sresiatahle arguments, that they should be eonsoli- rn But ta there not some lezislation Nearing upon this question? By act of Congress, approved Feb- ruary 26, A. D. 1393, 16 is provided that—“When- ever there are or shall be several charges against any person or persons for the same act or transac- tion, or for two or more acts or transactions con- nected together, or for two or more acts or transac- tions of the same class of crimes or offences which. may be property joined, tastead of having several indictments, the whole may be jolned in one indict- Te- in “ment 1m separate couats; and if two or more indict. mienta shall be found in order them consolidated, What is the just construction of this statute?

In the Unite? States va. Blokford, the indictment contained one hundred counts, eacn one being for a distinct felony, but of tho same class.

In considering the second ground of motion to ‘quash, the meaning ot two words, “associate” anc “cohabit” must be carefully kept im mind, Webster defines “associate” thas:—To join 10 company, ax a friend, companion, partisan or confederate.” * ~ * “it conveys the idea of intimate unton.’”’ He thus de@nes “cohanit:'—“To dwell or live to- gcther as husband gud wife; usually or often ap- piled to persons not legally married.” ‘The offence charged in each count could not be poe ree of any one moment or instant of time. commit such an offence? a continuous and some- what procracted pertod of time is necessary. 18 nothing in this obligation.

The Sapreme Court of Callfornia has well sald, “Couris are bound to take notice of the political and social condition of the country whien they politically rale,”” It is thereiore proper to say that whue the case at bar {ts called “The Peopie va, Krigham Young,” its other and real tue ts “Federal Anthority yersus Polygamtc Theocracy.”” The gov- erninent of the United States, founded upon a writ- ten constitution, finds within its jurisdicuon another government—claimiug to come from God—imnperi:in tn imperio—whose policy and practice, in gr. ve ‘tienlars, are at variance with its own, The one government arrests the other In the person of itw chief, and arraigus iv at this bar.
