the Provost Court of this city. Two young men, named John and Alonzo Duke, were arrested about a week ago, charged with inducing a negro girl, named Lizzie Seals, to steal eight hundred dollars in gold and one hundred dollars in silver from J. E. Batkins, and receiving the same, knowing it to have been stolen. The parties were twice before the Court last week, and a mass of testimony was elicited, much of which was not very creditable to the accused. They were again arraigned yesterday, whessing up a twenty-dollar gold piece. In his cross-examination Mr. Baptist stated that, so far as he knew, the prisoners bore a good character. He had seen the girls, Lizzie Seals and Mary Nixon, nearly every night at the alley leading to Mr. Batkins's house. Mr. Duke, the father of the prisoners, had always been an indulgent parent. He never knew Alonzo Duke to be a gambler. Daniel L. Murphy testified that, a week ago, he met Lawrence Duke (a brother of the prisoners) at Quimby's.
