We listened to the evidence of the prosecution, but did not hear the arguments of the counsel. It appeared in evidence that Harlow Jones, and ten other young men went to the house of Peter Barringer on the night of the 8th of August, and after obtaining admittance, under false pretences proceeded in a very riotous and abusive manner toward the inmates. One young girl it was alleged was taken out of the house and her person outraged. Some of the family escaped to a neighboring house and a young man named Stanley, who was sleeping in the house, having procured some weapon, finally succeeded in driving the rioters away. Seven young men were arrested, and after a full investigation before Esq. Paine, six were recognized in the sum of $600 each, for their appearance at Court, and one was discharged, there not being sufficient evidence to implicate him with the others. Verily, we are rapidly becoming a city -- at least, as far a crime is concerned. HARRISON COHEN vs John S. Morgan - In attachment -- at my instance an order of attachment was issued on the 20th day of July last, by s. s. Paine, a Justice of the Peace, in Salisbury township, Meigs county, Ohio, against the goods, chattels, moneys, effect 7c of the said John S. Morgan.
