Rickard*.
Bpforo Suited Statt« CommUaluoer Smith
yesterday afternoon Charles Rickards, a
white man, wu given a preliminary hearing
charged with opening letter, aridreased to
Clayton Karl, and old colored mau. United.
State* District Attorney John C. Patterson
conducted the lMerlng by special request,
and It was ahown that Rlchar '* and Karl
had effected a partnership lor burning char
coal near Greenwood, this State, on Janu
ary 6, 1881, Ear| furntahlng the manual
labor and Ktpkardh'eoadactlng the business
management.
Earl claimed that bin partner appropriated
a letter addn-Med to him personally
from the Betts Machine Company, of
this city, dated January 9, 1«83, and
after read log It tent him (B«rl) the empty
envelope by a messenger, Thomas Green.
Ten days afterwards the Bett« Machine
Company seut Earl a postal, asking him
why he had not answered the letter, when
Earl concluded that the letter had been
takei. by Richards.
Both card and envel
the ones designated in
Ureen testified that he carried an empty en
velope from the defendant to the complain
ant, but said that Richards had instructed
him to tell Earl that a letter had been re
eeived from the Hailao A Hollingsworth Co.
asking the price of some charcoal, and
that Earl should furnish the reply, but the
witness was unable to
name when Rickards gave him the envelop«
with the name of the firm on the upper left
hand corner. The envelope was o! a buff,
while ihe one shown by Earl was white.
Part of the above testimony
ted by Samuel Johnson,
Ri kardson, postmaster at Greenwood,
testified that all letters address'd to the
firm of Rickards & Earl, he gave to
Klckarda, but never any addresed personal
ly to Earl.
Alter «xamtnlng the postal carefully
Dis riet Attorney Pallet son noticed a
discrepancy and to a direct ques
tion Earl testified that the pa tn rs lip was
formed in the early ptrt of ISIS an 1 th it
be had had no acquaintance with Rickards
before. Mr. Pa*ter*ou then showed (hat the
postal card in queatiou wm dsted -Liuuiry

Beits Machine Company also produced a
certified copy from the firms letter book of
the letter mentioned on llie postal card
which he admitted hiving written
which was alleged to have heeu taken by
Rickard", which was daUd January U, 188-.
Mr. Patterson then reviewed the rase
showing the complainant to be a perjurer
and unworthy of the slightest credence as
to truthfulness. At 4.30 o'clock tile case
was adjourned until this morning when it
was dismissed without taking further teatl
mony.
Earl Is a well known character In this
neighborhood and fu Christlaua Village,
where he lives. He has appeared as the de
fendant In cases of litigation before aud a
few years ago was almost constantly In the
United States Court trying to push trurapted
up cases against farmers in hts vicinity who
he accused of steailug articles ot various
kinds from him.
During Lewis R. Armstrongs term as
Sheriff, Earl was whipped with 20 lasher,
having been found guilty of the larceny of
some corn from a neighbor. He
is a hard case and has time and
again been proved a perjurer of the worst
kind. As he was leaving the court yester
day he was stopped by George Willey, a
constable from Greenwood, who attempted
to arrest hlm ou s charge of threatening to
shoot Rickards and using other threatening
language. Notwithstanding the tact that
the constable was aided by Richards, Johu
sou, Green and others he was unable to
move Earl, who is a largo and powerful
man, although well advanced In years.

Counsel for .John Dunn.
The Municipal Court room waa crowded
last evening by about R00 persons,anxious to
hear the testimony in the case of Sergeant
McConnell vs. George Brown, Goorge North
and William Lawler, the three young men
accused of having commuted the assault
upon McConnell, in Spring alley on Tues
day. They were disappointed, however, as
the case was postponed until Monday,
Mayor Wales reporting that tha Sergeant
would be unable to leaf« tha house until
that day.
Emma Hopkins, colored was fined $0 and
coats for drunkenness aud disorderly con
duct. There being no further business
Judgo- Cummins adjourned the court
until this morn ng when 1. C. Grub/ Esq.,
couuael for John M. Dunn, proprie/ ,r of the
Swan Hotel, chanted with selling Liquor ou
Sunday, made a lengthy argument upon bis
motion to quash the information on the
v round that the Municipal Court bad not
constitutional Jurisdiction in the case aud
quoted from the constitution of the State
and the new city charter to prove the cor
rectness of his view. He held that the
Municipal Court was specially created to
try eases as Enumerated In section H5, and
assumed that If it had jurisdiction over cases
like the one In question the court would be
divested of Just that amount of
power but as the Jurisdiction of this Court
was not clearly defined It was evident that
the framers of the law did not Intend the
Munlelpal Court to have sole aud final Juris
diction In cases of thL kind. The Court,
he hehl, had authority to commit peraous
having a license, charged with telling liquor
on Saturday to a higher court, hut that it
had uo authority to flue and finally dispose
of them, as cases of this kind should be tried
by a jury.
Deputy Attorney-Genera) Turner argued
that the court was created with extraordi
nary power, and was the only court that
cor Id try and dispose of cases
without indictment of trial by Jury. A
mau who held a license was allowed to sell
liquor according to law ami as a license did
not say that a man could sell on Sunday it
was apparent to him that fn so doing he
sold without a license and could be tried by
this court as section 15 gave the Judge

last evening wo* very cleverly managed. At
7 o'clock In the evening Sheriff Bower«
found him very weak and complaining of
pains in the stomach. The Sheriff then went
down town on bunlneee.
Hall an hour luter Smull rattled at tbo
door leading to the Sheriff's residence, and
the call was responded to by Lisfle Bowers,
a young lady o! 90 summers. He asked ber
to get him some cigars. She refuted, saying
that none of the men were about. Ten info*
utes after tills Smull again called Mies Bow
era, and asked to have hi* coal oil lamp
filled. Smull'• cell is in the old Jail. Mira
Bowers opened the door or the new jail ad
joining to let Jobu Price, colored, into
Smuira apartment to fill the lamp.
By uls time Smull, who stood inside of
the door in hit shirt sleeves, put on his coat,
a thlu one, a D> rhj hat, furnished by a
prlrouer. Price passed iu the d vor, and
finding mull teady, rao out, follow*d by
•Smull an Theodore Carling. Miss Bowers
grabbed Smull, but he broke her hold,
pushed her aside and soon joii ed the other
prisoners on the street. Miss Bpwcrs
screamed lor help. Her mother came and
both stood In the hallway powerless with
fright until too late to see which direction
the prisoners had taken.
At the time of their flight a high wind and
snow-storm prevailed, aud the night was the
coldest of the season. Smull was thinlv
clad, having on the clothiug that he wore a*t
the time of arrest, two months ago. Yes
terday he moved about his cell In a stooped
position, aud appeared hardly able to walk.
When he ran from the prison he was as
straight as an arrow, and appeared strong.
His cell was visited this morning by a re
porter of the Easton Argue. who found
everything iu order aud a lot of eatables
a stand. A small gold cake, brought to
Smull by his mother four weeks ago,
found with the inside removed. The Sheriff
is p (drive that this was all that Smull has
eaten since he has been In prison. Carling
