Valuable Overcoat Taken From Eh-j tablishment Of Popham k Son, Sunday Night 'I The culprit or culprits who have j been persistent in their practices re-1 centiy in robbing several stores of; the city, again entered the taloringj ! establishment of Popham & Son, of Francis street last night and on Sun-! day night, making the third time that j this place has been visited within the past three w eeks. On Sunday night I the thief, or thieves got away with a | valuable overcoat and other articlesj ■of wearing aunarel. as was the case; with the first robbery Last night, however, the robbers did not apparently get away with any-| thing. At least tills is the statement of George Popham, a member of the firm, who said today that the culprit or culprits ransacked the place dur ing'the early part of the evening. Mr Popham said he discovered things, turned topsy-turvy upon his return from supper, as he frequently works' at the shop at nights. Mr. Popham is j of the opinion that the thief effected |an entrance in some manner byway of the front door, as the windows are barred and tHPre also is a heavy 1 ar across the rear door, and there lias been no disturbances along this line. I Nothing was missing, however, on this occasion.

Colored, Steward Of Peggy Stewart Inn, Acquit ted By Judge Moss Of False Pretense Charge TO CLEANUP CASES ON CIVIL DOCKET NEXT After a continuous session since Oc tober 27th, excepting for the inter mission at election time .the Criminal Docket of the Circuit Court was con cluded today. The Court, within the next few days, will proceed to take up and conclude the remaining cases on the Civil Docket that have not had been tried, and the indications are that the October term will practically come to an end by the beginning of i , next week. The session of the Court today was taken up with the trial of the case of State vs. Thomas E. Baden, who was presented by the Grand Jury in three cases, charged with obtaining ; money from Mrs. Juliet W. Assheton Iby false pretenses. Baden was for merly steward of the Peggy Stewart Inn, In the employ of Mrs. Assheton. and It was charged that by means of I his false representations made to her as to certain bills, he obtained money from her on a commission basis. The testimony in th(> case showed that Baden received money from Mrs. Assheton each week for conducting the commissary of the Inn, and that he told her that the bills were all : i paid, and that he received a commis sion on Jhe basis of these statements; i whereas, it developed that there were ' a considerable number of bills that * he knew about at that time, and s j which would have reduced his com i; mission if he had not made the al : | leged false representations to Mrs. I Assheton. The charge was in each of the three cases obtaining this excess J ‘ amount by false pretenses. The case j today was tried before Judge Moss without a Jury, at tho Conclusion of ' which, the Judgment of “not guilty” was rendered. The other stwo cases against Baden were continued.
