Garroters. --Joseph Johnson, alias James Williams, alias "Corporal Finley," and Barney O'Neal, were yesterday arrested by detectives Turner and Hix on the charge of garroting and robbing J. Stokes, a soldier. Stokes swears positively that, about 12 o'clock Saturday night, these two men approached him on Seventeenth street, when O'Neal seized him by the arms and Johnson threw his left arm round his neck, while with the other he rifled his pockets. Johnson had on his person the British papers of James Williams and a pass from the navy-yard in the name of "Corporal Finley." He is known to be a thief, and is said to be a Yankee deserter. He is thought to be one of the party who, under the guise of detectives, about two weeks ago robbed the house of a negro on Seventeenth street, as among his papers was a forged authority from Captain Maccubbin to search a house for stolen property.
