    Forsythe Robbery
    Over $1400 Stolen from a Wheat Bin

    The Case against Valentine Anders, the suspected Robber.

    A report of the robbery of Alpha Forsythe and the arrest of Valentine Anders, supposed to be the robber, appeared in the Whig a few days since. Anders, who has been in jail since Saturday night, had a preliminary hearing yesterday before Justice Lockwood. It appeared from the testimony, that Mr. Forsythe, who resides in the north part of the county, near the Hancock line, frequently has in his possession large sums of money, which he is in the habit of depositing in a whaet bin in his barn, notwithstanding he at one time had considerable trouble laying his hands on about $1000 after it had been deposited, and did not find it until he had emptied out the entire contents of the bin. A few weeks ago he recieved about $160, which he placed in the bin for safekeeping. Shortly afterwards he went to the place of deposit took out some money, returned the balance and went away. The same day he returned to the barn to get more money, but the roll was gone. Thinking that the money was still there somewhere he went to work removing the wheat. The bin was emptied carefully, but the roll was not there, and has not since been found. A short time before the money disappeared, Andres went to work for Forsythe. It appeared from the testimony of a fellow workman that when Andres commenced to work he had only $10, which he stated was all the money he had on the world, $3.25 of which he spent while there. About a week after the discovery that the money had been taken Anders told Forsythe that he would quit work. Mr Forsythe wanted to know what was the matter. Anders stated that there had been forty tons of hay burned near there and Mr. F. had been robbed, and he was afraid they would think he did it. Anders quit work and went to a neighbor of Forsythe's and commenced talking about the robbery and said that he didn't take the money, and that he had plenty of his own. He afterwards went to Contsburg and called on a man to who he was indebted $0.75. He stated that he had come to pay the bill and offered a $20 bill. The man couldn't change the money, when Anders tendered him a $10 note. He then came to this city and remained a day or two, the went back to Contsburg, where he was arrested. It was shown that, while working near the barn at Forsythe's before the robbery, Mr. F. went to the wheat bin to get some money, and after he had placed the money back in the bin, he noticed that the barn door was open, and that Anders could have seen him take out the money if he had looked in that direction. It also appeared that on the day of the robbery Anders was carrying mortar for the plasterers, who were at work in the cellar. The mortar bed was near the barn. Mr. Forsythe was away from home, and Anders had an opportunity to take the money. The ammount taken as stated by Mr. Forsythe, was about $1420.
    The Court was of the opinion that the testimony warranted him in holding the prisoner to answer at the December term. The bail was fixed at $2500. Anders was committed to await the Criminal Court.
