I lie • conviction of this dirty brute, whose hcent! us ‘.'-attempts iiave long made liim a terror to the women of Remington, is a matter for public grnrttication and the -clear headed and honest jury wi.l have the satisiaction of knowing that they have done their duty. The indictment aganast the alleged confidence men, Tempjeiou and jßtmi: s , was u unslied yesteYda’y ::rt.*r:.o issiniy upon the grounds that the false vn etense.s re sue by the defendants b i i srael were of too shallow a nature to deceive a person of good understanding. From the remarks of-the yuuft in rendering this decision, we conclude that a man who is wi'ak enough. of mind to be deceived by a ciuihcv sclieme, is not entitled to tiie protection ot the eourm,- This may be gooiliaw, but its mighty poor justice. The trial of McGregor, accused of the burglary at ' YYheattield, is s.-t for to-day. LLGA-L -The grand jury completed their labors Tuesday, finding 13 indictments.
