He was committed to Jail, but was soon afterwards balled out. We should like to know If It Is the intention of the defense to attempt In this way to Intimidate witnesses who may tie called hero from a distance? If every witness who may testify against them is to be 9«nt to jail on a charge trumped up fur the occasion. We understand that a Mrs. Taylor, or Van Blarlcum, who Is a witness for the prosecution, left tiie city very suddenly last night for Chicago. We should like to kituw tho cause of her hasty departure?

Aa the beast was not thoroughly warmed up, his time was none of the best, but when Moses, a "hoss-tnan” of experience, mounted, the distance was quickly traversed. Moses, in turn, gave way to George Carter, attorney at law. who has ate, drank, and slept veloclped for the last three montha, and who h n s been praotlelng, by moonlight and lantern, for the last ten nlghta. He developed the capabilities of the vehicle swinging around the circle, In one minute.

The Police Board Inve*ti(iatino Court.—The Police Board Court mot in open session at the Council Chamber at two p. m. yesterday, pursuant to Tuesday's adjoarnniont. All the members ot the Hoard were present, and proceedings wore formally opened. Hon. A. G. Porter announced that ho had been retained by Captain Wilson, Chief of Police. He considered the most serious charge against Captain Wilson, was contained in charge three, which has reference to tbe arrest of one Levi Brown, for being Implicated in the Express robbery at Seymour, and went on to state in mswor that said Brown waa arrested at tho instigation of a Mr. Hoott, who waa, and is, the chief doteetlvo In tho employ of tho American Express Company; that Mr. Hoott had taken Brown from tho custody of Wilson, and finally let him go. As Mr. Scott was a non-resident and absent from the city at this time, the defense would ask for a postponement of tho Investigation ot suoh charge, until they could obtain tho evidence of such important testimony as Mr, Scott would ad-
duce.
Major Gordon thought it could bo so arranged that the cases could bo sot for trial in such order as to oblige all parties. Ms, Porter explained that ho appeared for no onn of the defendants other than Captain Wilson, and expected the charges against him would be tried separately. The President (Mr. Seidenstioker) said that, according to agreement, the investigation of charges against J. P. Duval would bo the first entered upon. Thu President thought It would bo better to read the charges separately against I each of the accused as they were put upon
trial.
Major Gordon wanted no delay, and ! desired a full reading of the charges, so that tin) defendants could not have the excuse of not being fully informed of their nature us nn excuse for delay. No further objection being mode, the charges, which were In substance tho same ae published In our columns yesterday morning, were read. The following letter, mentioned iu charge fifth, was also read, as being Incorporated with tbe
charges:
Office Ohio Prnitehtiart, 1 Columbus, O., December 20, luck, j At the request of J. C. Power, Esq., of Indianapolis, Thnmae Boyle, an inmate of this Institution, makes the following
statement!
"Pryor Duval asked me how much money I could rales towards getting Morse and Douglass away from Muncietown, Indiana. I aaked how mnch was necessary, he answered 'between $1,500 and 92,000.’ I again aaked what guarantee ho could give that they could be got away. He answered 'I can easily arrange that.' 'In what manner,’ save I,answered
he, ‘tb
murder, for Instanoe, and If that is not sufQolsnt, we will make the people of Munclelown Imagine them perfect deeperadoes,and that their countv jail is not strong enough to hold them.’ ” There waa no other policeman present then. Again in two or three days I met him (Duval) at tbe Empire Saloon. He
1 what manner,’ sRys I, ana wen Chief and I understand each
other,'(meaning the Chief of Police.) I then asked how It could be done, and lu what manner. Hesnawared'weoanbrlng a more serious charge agaipat them, say
asvtw AAAfcavaa wsvijvm* wvuava ak/jl amp covery; he replied one half. Duval tl went away. Witness had given beat
script ion of the thieves ' police; Mr. Board man 1
present but pocked-marked man—a gambler, whose name I do not now remember. Hiram Mlnnlck and hia partner, the two men who arrested the Canadian forger at the Oriental House, shortly after, one night in the Hotel, were conversing, and during the conversation said, "if that d—n fool had bid over the sum that was offered for his apprehension in Canada, they would never have taken him to Canada.’’ I then made the remark, "yon policemen have several opportunities of making money.’’ Mlnnick made tho remark, "bow?” I answered, "supposing a man wanted to commit a burglary ou your beat.” They said, "that could not be done because the Merchants’ Police were there.” I answered, “suppose they could be made all right.” Mfnuick answered, "If we got a reasonable xshaek out of the swag I am sure I for one would have no opposition.” All this occurred between tbe 6th and 12th of November, 1867. The name of the Chief of Police at this time was Thomas Wilson.” The above statement was made before me and in my presence, and volumetry, on tbe part or the above named Boyle. Charles Wentwhll, Warden Ohio Penitentiary. The charges having been read, Mr. Charles SKagg was sworn In by Mayor Macauley, as official reporter and Secretary lor the Court during the investiga-
tion.
Major Gordon wished to know how many of the accused wore ready to respond to the charges, and moved that tho names should be called for answers. Mr. Van Horn admitted that tho defendants were all ready for the Investigation of the charges against them. Hon. A. O. Porter presented the application of Captain Wilson, asking that his trial be set off for two weeks, so us to allow hiui time to procure ncccasary evidence. Mr. M.M. Ray thought the charges were analogous and Identified with each other, and that the time asked for could not bo granted, without causing great delay in the investigation, or making it necessary to go over a great portion of the testimony. Tho President decided that Captain Wilson's application should bo received, and the time asked for granted. Mr. Van Horn moved to strike out the first charge against J. P. Duval, ns an investigation of the charge therein contained had been made by the Board, and tho charge dismissed. Mr. Gordon said that it was not a matter that could be disponed of by a motion, as there was nothing to show that such an investigation had been had, except nn appeal to tiie knowledge of tho Board; if such an investigation had boon made it was cx parti in ita nature, and that such mi investigation was materially dlllercnt from the present. Wanted tho gentleman to show by form of an answer, showing tho entire evidenoo that was before the Board, and if it waa so proved that tho aggrieved party, Mr. Baker, had given his testimony boforo tke Board, tho charge would be withdrawn. The prosecution was prepared to show, by a fair examination, that tho transaction in the Bakor case, was conducted such a manner os to prove a higli criminality on the part of tho police. Mr. Baker was a poor man, but ho stood high among Ids i<.c,|5:iintancss for Ids mor al worth. Tim President commented upon tno action of (lie Board, and concluded that a second investigation would b© proper, if it was proposed to introduce tbe testimony of Mr. Baker. M. M. Ray remarked that tiie prosecution would have to rely upon an agent to obtain their witnesses, ami requested that some one not connected with the police force bo assigned to that duty. Major Gordon proposed that the prosecution would pay for tho services of such person, if the Court would allow them to make their own selection. Tho President stated that the Court had power to assign any member of the police force 011 special duty without incurring extra exfienso. .The Court was not empowered to incur any expense without special provision by Council; but if the prosecution proposed to pay such expense, they might make their selection. Mr. Cottrell selected Mr. John K ittenliorn, who was sworn in. The form of subpoena used by tho City polieo Court was then agreed upon. Mr. Baker was tho called aud sworn, and testified as follows ': Name, Amos Baker; had no particular home or rosidcuee; worked around among farmers, and considered his homo wherever he worked; at present resided in Martin County; came to tills city on the 11th day of last November, on tbe mornlug train from Mholhyvilie, and put up at the Palmer House; having transacted his business, lie started from tiie hotel about <1 tsk for the Union Iie|*it, with theinten1 n of taking tiie evening train home; at some place on Illinois street was overtaken or met hy a genteel looking man who' entered into •onversutisn with him. Tiie stranger represented that he was from Terre Haute, and witness told the atruqgcr that he was going to tho clenot for the purpose of going home to Shelby ville; they were there mot hy another genteel looking man, who waa introduced to witnesH as the couduetor on the Cincinnati train; first stranger informed the conductor that witness whs going to Hholbyville on ills train,and then invited them into a saloon near by to take a drink; did not remember whether they drank ale or tieor: while at the counter the stranger got some dice and threw them on the counter ami called tho attention of witness to tiie fact that ho had thrown twenty-one; hethen throw them several times with a like result, and told witness that he had got hold of u queer set of dice, ns they throw twentyone all tho lime, and he would tiont tiie conductor out of some money; a bet was then made between tiie stranger anil condtietor of fivo dollars each; witness was then induced to hold t lie stakes, dice were thrown and conductor won; conductor then refused to take any more money than he had put up, but tiie stranger insisted that he had won it fairly, and must take it; conductor then said, us witness hud bsld slakes, lie was entitled to half of his winnings, and if lie (witness) would make change ito should have half; witness Ursl objected, but finally concluded to accept, got out ids pocket book to see if bu could make change, and found t hat, ho could not: the stranger and conductor were so persistent In their endeavors to have him make tho change, and to see tiie full contents of the pocket book, that he beonnio alarmed and put it back into his pocket; he had scarcely done so when tho stranger started toward the door, which increased his alarm and suspicious so much that ho felt for Ids pocket book and found it was gone; lie instantlv started in pursuit ot the stranger, but was met bv several men at the door, who barred his egress; It* demanded of them which way tiie villain had gone, and was told that tho man who hud just went out had gone Into the next saloon; wont into tiie place designated, but could not find him. Caine back and found tiie conductor had gone. Started towards tiie Palmer House, and was met by a .von tig man eighteen or twenty years old, who Inquired If those fellows had got all his money, and, on being replied to in tho affirmative, o lie red to lend witness ten dollars to get homo with, advising to leave town ou the first train or lie would lie arrested for gambling. Witness thought this a dodge-to get rid of him, and refused the prolTereU aid; went to Palmer House and related the affair to Ctilonel Blair, Moon after three men oanae in who said they were policemen: beard that one of these men was named Pryo* Duval. These men told him to go to the police office ut a certain time and make a statement. Went to the police office and thou back to the Palmer House; was there met by Duval, who inquired how much witness would pay for tho recovery of his money; he replied that he wonld give ouehalf for the arrest of the thief and recovery of the money. Duval wanted to know how much he had been robbed of. He told him about Hao. Duval then went away, but oame back in »t)out two or three baure, and said the tfc W*t .mMO; .

▼al then beat de-
he could to the and two or three
othera brought In eome one for recognition as the thief; did not bring the right person. Witneee went to bed; waa awakened by a knock at tbe door; got np and opened the door, and found Duval and a bell boy with a light. Duval then told him that he had succeeded in getting one hundred dollars of the money, and claimed one-half of that amount aa hls reward, to which witness assented. Duval then gave witness fifty dollars, and told him that he got the money from the grocery keeper by threatening to prosecute him; and that the person who gave him the money said that only one hundred dol-

ey said that only
lars had been stolen; Dnval, told him either that he could not, or waa not permitted, to tell who the parties were who stole the money. Witness had not testified before the Police Board at any former Investigation; bad been before the Grand Jury. When he came out of the Grand Jury room he was met by Mr. Boardman, who aaked him if he was dissatisfied with the arrangement with Duval; he replied that it waa a contract and he thought he ought to stick to It; Boardman then, in substance, said he would see that the $50 paid witness, by Duval, should be re-
refunded.
Nothing was brought out on cross-ex-amination, (except that Mr. Baker had come here on that occasion to purchase a pair ot spectacles, and was robbed of hls spectacle case at same time his money r^is stolen,) that was of any importance or varied from hia first statement. Tha Court then announced that it was too late too examine more witnesses before adjournment. , Major Gordon wished to do an act of justice before tbe Court adjourned. The prosecution bad ascertained, since tiie charges had been preferred, that tho eighteenth charge was without any sub-
stantial foundation; that the policemen i entire stock at a reduction of from 20 to 50 per
cent, EXCEPTING ONLY THE HARRIS SEAM-

It is important that worms should be eradicated before they have too far debilitated and irritated the stomach, for there is no telling where their ravages may end. They do not confine themselves exclusively to the stomach and bowels, as * many suppose, for they have even passed through the ooats of the stomach, and been found in tbe liver and bladder, causing tbe most distressing diseases, which of course can not be removed so long ax the irritating cause is lodged in those organs. Aside from these dangerous consequences, which result trom their undisturbed possession of the stomach, they cause an unwonted secretion of fiiucns, which is fruitful in disease. In this mnens they live and multiply, cansing it constantly to accomalate, and inducing foul stomach, indigestiox, and a host of disagreeable attendants, which grow in violence until they either end in a confirmed and incurable chronic affection, or the worms are removed. In view of these facts, it becomes tho imperative duty of every parent to watch the health ot his child, and to provide himself with that potent specific, B.A. Fahsxstock’s Vp.rmifcgk. Great caution must be ssed by every purchaser to be his own judge in one sense, and to examine every bottle he bays of it. The simple name of Fabnbstock is not sufficient. He must look closely and cars!ally to see that the initials are. B. A. FAHNESTOCK, and be satisfied with nothing else. dec!6 deodAwlm

The Mnrhiwe, railed Man. Is a very complicated and delicate one, and is more liable to get oat of order, and much more difficult to'repair, than any combination of wheels, and oranks, and levers, made by the hands of man. As a rale, ibis ttulered too much. and badly tinkered at that. It is often calomclized, narcotised, depleted, and otherwise misused, when all that it really needs is a wholesome tonic and restoraUve like HOSTKTTER’S STOMACH BITTERS to put in proper trim and keep it so. The stomach is shamefully maltreated. In the first place, the food which its jaiees ana intended to dissolve, is too frequently thrown into it hastily, and in a half-masticated condition, in which state the gastric acid can not properly net upon it. Tha result is dyspepsia. Then comes the doctor, and finding the digestive organs weak and the bowels inert, he proceeds to weaken and paralyse still more with drastic purgatives. These failing—as tbsy always do—to produce a salutary change, he tells the invalid that medical science can do no more for him. This, with all dae deference, is a mistake—oneof those mistakes which Talleyrand said were tantamount to crimes. What the dyspeptic needs is invy/oration. Strengthen tke stomach with H08TBTTER’S BITTERS, and the stooae^will strengthen every other part of the knman machine, and make it, in oommoa parlance, ae good aa new. Upon the state of the digestion depends, in n measure, the condition of tho whole system. Now. tho Bitters are the most admirable tonic knowa. They consist of the finest vegetable invigorants and restoratives, combined, with aa unadulterated stimulant. The dyspeptic needs nothing else to effect a cure, exeept a tight nutritious diet, and a fair amount of exercise. Iren in the absence of these last mentioned acoessories, the toaie and alterative properties of tho preparation will work wonders, enabling ths dyspeptic to digest inferior faro with comparative onto, and to maintain a good habit of body, ia-spite of tho drawbacks of a sedentary occupation. 4 jau8 deodAwlw
