James Callahan (search for this): article 3
The Courts.Mayor's Court. --The following is a summary of the cases before the Mayor yesterday: John Wrenn, citizen of Richmond, about twenty-two years of age, charged with picking the pocket of James Callahan of a wallet containing three hundred dollars. The robbery occurred on Saturday night at a house on Seventeenth street, near Poplar. The prisoner, upon being summoned to answer the charge, stated that he had not had time to procure the attendance of his witnesses, and therefore hoped the case would be continued, which request the Mayor complied with, and remanded the accused to jail for his appearance on Tuesday morning at eleven o'clock. Bail was not allowed; his Honor remarking that, even if the nature of the present charge did not deprive him of the privilege, yet the fact that he (Wrenn) was an escaped prisoner from Castle Thunder was sufficient to warrant him in refusing it. A small boy, named Thomas Doland, who has already appeared several times before the M

hunder was sufficient to warrant him in refusing it. A small boy, named Thomas Doland, who has already appeared several times before the Mayor's Court, was charged with the theft of brass from the Tredegar Iron Works and selling it to Mr. William A. Parr. The party purchasing the brass from Doland acknowledged having done so, but thought it had been honestly obtained, and therefore did not think he was doing wrong. In consideration of his extreme youth and the non-appearance of any partiently eighteen years of age, giving his name as Charles Barefoot, was also arraigned to answer the charge of stealing brass from the Tredegar Iron Works. As regards the purchase of the brass, the statement, as in the case of Doland, was made by Mr. Parr, he having paid the accused two or three dollars for a lot which had been brought to him by Barefoot to buy. The Mayor suspended further examination until he could procure the attendance of witnesses who would swear that this was the party who h

outh and the non-appearance of any parties claiming the ownership of the property alleged to be stolen, his Honor discharged Doland with a reprimand. Another youth, apparently eighteen years of age, giving his name as Charles Barefoot, was also arraigned to answer the charge of stealing brass from the Tredegar Iron Works. As regards the purchase of the brass, the statement, as in the case of Doland, was made by Mr. Parr, he having paid the accused two or three dollars for a lot which had been brought to him by Barefoot to buy. The Mayor suspended further examination until he could procure the attendance of witnesses who would swear that this was the party who had committed the theft. Lewis Brown, charged with committing a violent assault upon S. A. Goodman, (both employees of Messrs. Hundley & Cance, bakers, on Broad street,) was held to bail in the sum of five hundred dollars for his appearance in February to answer indictment before the Grand Jury of the Hustings Court.
nt, and always regarded him as very honest, upright and efficient. Knew that he had opportunities to make money by his office, but had heard him say that he had never made a cent beyond his salary. At the conclusion of the examination, Mr. Caskie briefly addressed the Court in behalf of his client. He reviewed the testimony of the witnesses, and claimed that it was so much in proof of the innocence of the accused that he thought the Mayor should immediately dis miss the case. Mayor Saunders thereupon replied, that while he was deeply sensible of the high character of the witnesses who had testified to the honorable character and good standing of the accused, yet the evidence of the witnesses for the Commonwealth impressed his mind very strongly with his guilt, and he should remand him for examination before the Hustings Court. The case was not a bailable one, the Mayor said, unless it could be proven that the state of the prisoner's health was such as to endanger his life
ere gone. Charles Loehr, of the restaurant near the corner of Eighth and Main streets, testified that Edwards came to his saloon at half-past 8 o'clock, and remained about an hour. And Charles Hunt — Came to his saloon, between Eighth and Ninth, on Main street, about half-past 9, and remained about twenty minutes. He said he was just from up-town. A number of highly respectable gentlemen then appeared and testified to the excellent character which Major Edwards had always borne. Dr. Wing, postmaster at Norfolk, had known him there for twenty-five years, and during the whole of that time he was looked upon as a successful merchant and a popular gentleman — treated freely, gave suppers, &c. Had never heard his honor questioned, and supposed it was good. Dr. E. C. Robinson, State Senator from Norfolk, had known Major Edwards twenty-odd years, and regarded his character while living there as unimpeachable and irreproachable. Captain P. G. Coghlan had a great deal of b

While they were in the bar-room, Mr. Edwards stated that he left his store that evening about 7 o'clock, in company with his son, who was going off in the Fredericksburg cars at 8 o'clock; he then retraced his steps and called by the Exchange Hotel, where he remained a few minutes; from here he called by the store and looked in to see if all was right; and finding everything as he had left them, he walked up the street to Mr. Lamb's store, and from there went home. I think it would have taken at least a half-hour for one person to have completed the arrangements which were made for the fire. When the parties mounted the ladder, the window shutter was unfastened and opened without difficulty. I certainly understood Mr. Edwards to say that he went to the cars to see his son off, and am also positive that he told me it was 9 o'clock when he returned and examined his store, to see if all was right.
