Extorting money. --The continued case of Edward Kelly, charged with presenting a pistol at the head of Beneni Catogni and demanding a sum of money, was resumed yesterday at the Mayor's Court. We have heretofore given the testimony for the Commonwealth, and need not repeat it. A witness named Wicker was yesterday introduced for the defence, but he knew nothing of Kelly's second visit to the store. He was with him when he first went there, heard him say he had lost his money, and believed it was in the house; also heard him propose to Mrs. Catogni to give him $12 and he would say no more about it; to which she replied "very well," and counted out the money to him. He saw no pistol. Dr. James E. Williams, the employer of Kelly, gave him a good character, which was endorsed by Dr. Harrison. The Mayor sent Kelly on to be indicted for misdemeanor, and admitted him to bail in the sum of $300.
