Horse Thieves.

--The case of Wm. Leber and Charles Riddle charged with stealing two horses from Wm. S. Munson and J. E. Pitts, was examined before the Mayor yesterday, and the accused were discharged and sent to the Enrolling officer. The witnesses who had been relied upon to convict them were women of ill-fame, who pretended to know nothing about the matter. It is believed that they refused to testify through fear of personal violence from some of the horse stealing gang who are still at large.
