The Daily Dispatch: May 25, 1864., [Electronic resource], Death of Gen. Albert G. Jenkins. (search)
--Some time since the store-room attached to the residence of John D. Harvey, on 9th street, between Clay and Leigh, was broken into and robbed of about eighteen hundred dollars' worth of family groceries, consisting of coffee, lard, flour, beef tongues, and blackberry cordial. Information of the robbery was lodged with the police, who since that time have been on the alert for the perpetrators of the thief.--Their efforts have finally been crowned with partial success. A negro fellow named Joe, the property of Mrs. Nancy Robinson, having been arrested with a becket of lard in his possession, which Mr. H. identified as his property, has since confessed that he was a participant in the robbery, but deals all knowledge of the whereabouts of his comrades in crime. He says there were three of them engaged in it, and that the lard was his share of the spoils. The case was before the Mayor yesterday morning, and Joe was remanded for indictment by the Grand Jury of the Hustings Court.

ew others. This boat went to the Kearsarge. The Alabama at this time was just going down and Mr. Kell passed the order for the men to save themselves if they could. The greater part of them jumped overboard. Among them was Dr. Llewellyn, our assistant surgeon. He was an Englishman, and had long been on the sick list with a sore leg, consequently not depending upon his swimming powers, he had lashes himself to a box; but the box turned, and, putting him under, he was drowned. Mr. Robinson, the carpenter, seeing that the fight was lost, drew a revolver and shot himself through the breast. He was afterwards picked up in the water by one of the Kearsarge's boats, and died soon after arriving on board. This makes three officers who were lost. Capt. Semmes secured what papers he had not already sent ashore; and, coming up from his cabin, came on deck as the vessel was just sinking and was advised fly a man named Mars to pull off his coat and uniform cap, so that he would

entered on Tuesday night and robbed of twenty-one pieces of bacon, valued at over two thousand dollars. The thieves obtained access to the meat by cutting a hole through the brick walls of the building, backing on Dr. Watson's lot, cut of which it was passed to parties in waiting, and then taken through his alley into the street. The residence of Mrs. Elizabeth White, in Rocketts old field, was broken into on the same evening and robbed of several articles of household furniture. Constable Robinson, of Henrico, yesterday arrested a white man named Thomas Hite, charged with the burglary. Subsequent to his arrest some of the stolen articles were found at George W. Willis's auction rooms, where they had been left for sale by the accused. On the morning preceding the night of the robbery Hite threatened Mrs. H. with his intention to break into her house, and, true to his word, while she was out seeking an officer to execute the warrant which she had gotten out against him, he did b

Hustings Court, Recorder Caskie presiding. --The following is a list of the parties examined before the Hustings Court of Magistrates: Joe, slave of Nancy Robinson, charged with burglariously entering the storeroom of John D. Harvey, and stealing forty pounds of lard, was convicted and sentenced to transportation beyond the limits of the Confederate States. Joe's value was assessed at $3,000. In this case, as in one of a similar character decided yesterday, some of the Magistrates favored hanging. Alfred Moss was examined on the charge of stealing eight pounds of thread, valued at $16, from the C. S. Clothing Bureau; but owing to the insignificance of the amount involved the case was referred back to the Mayor for settlement. The Court then went into the examination of Thaddeus A. R. Hopkins and Augustus Shepperson, charged with breaking into the store of Henry M. Jones and stealing a large lot of coffee, sugar, gun caps, &c. After a hearing of the evidence and ar
