while John Gibson was oerore xue. Mayor only a week previously for be- inr rrvnopmefl in a row, a razor being found on his person also after being arrested. This negro was even men guilty of one of thtr robberies for Which he was held yesterday. THE THREE CRIMES. The first charge upon which the three negroes were given a hearing was that of the robbery of the residence of William Harris, corner Davie and Blount streets, an entrance "to th? ihouse being effected by breaking the catch over a window.

Air. and Mrs. Harris have both been confined at smallpox quarantine in the southeastern suburbs of the city. Mrs. Harris has the smallpox, having con-tracted it from her husband, who came here from Norfolk with his clothing infected with the disease, he having been employed there in driving a fest wasron.

At this house John Gibson and Reuben Price stole about $lo worth of Clothing belonging to Mrs. Harris. One Of the dresses was among the lot of clothing fumigated by Health Officer Sale, that officer informed The Post. Timothy Williams (according to his own testimony) took several of the articles out and sold them and attempted to sell others. Although he pretended not to know they were stolen, he knew the other defendants lu-oll finrl Irnw thp-v hnd Tin nroner eession with such articles of clothing.

A bond of $150 each was exacted in this case. Mrs. King, mother of Mrs. Harris, Identified clothing of her daughr recovered by the police, and the aie.gro did not deny having them in their possession. KORBED A TAILOTt-SHOP ALSO.

All three of the defendants were oext. examined on the charge of forcing an entrance into the room occupied by Frazier Ancruai, negro railors" and clothes cleaners who coi duct a shop in the Fowle building on Martin street. One of the members of the firm fldentified three or four pairs of pants, two or three coats, as beiag either their property or, haiving been in their possession to clearly etc. The defendants all insisted on making statements and were sworn in this case as in the preceding one, with the result that they incr miuated each other and made the State's case stronger every time they opened their mouths, although informed by' his honor that they ned not tell anything they did not desire to have known. As In the previous case, Tim Williams' connection with the case appeared to be that of partioeps criminis after the fact, as the lawyers say.

The bond in this case was fixed at $50 each, making $200 each for John and Reuben and Tim. STILL ANOTHER CASE AGAINST GIBSON. This ended the charges against iReuben and Tim for the time being, but not so with John. An alleged-gold brass watch was produced and the CMayor questioned a clerk of D. W.

C. Harris, the pawnbroker, about it. Yes, he had seen the watch before. Saturday a week John Gibson came into- Harris' jpjace and said: "Lemme see dem two brass watches in dat sho'-case." The time-pieces were handed over. About that time another customer came in and the witness went to wait on him, leaving a small boy, named lerry, to attend to John's wants.

Jrv-hn sUTvned mw of the wntph in his pocket and banded the other to thej boy. remarking: 'T guess I doan' want no watch and passed out, the boy not knowing that he had two watches to The watch was not missed until some days later, and at once the theft was fastened on John, Capt. Mart. Thomp-i son capturing the thief and recovering! the The person watch to Harris identified and so the case was made complete against John. An additional bond of $o0 was exacted of John in this case.

This run John's total bail. up to $250. He couldn't have given bond for two rJM1ai.cs onrl ton Pts- nr mnw miiM Ikis two pals, and so the trio were committed to jail. During the trial John requested that Jennie Brown be produced as a witness for him. Jennie was in jail, but was sent for.

The stolen goods were taken to the house where she resided prior to being committed to jail. Her testimony did not help the defendants' Base much.

Their good work is only another illus- tration and proof of the argument that old men should be retained as long as practicable on the police force, and the force not largely restocked every time a new board of aldermen is elected.
