| Before Commissioner H. Sands
yesterday, the cases of Samuel Ruth, charged with treason, and John
Hancock, suspected of being a spy, were brought up and disposed of.
Hancock was committed to the county jail for examination before Judge
Halyburton; but Mr. Ruth was discharged, there being no evidence
adduced sufficient to warrant his further detention. |
