Andrews, who charges him with breaking into his State-st. bookstore on the night of May 1, aud stealing two pocket-books and about $40 in money. The warrant was issued at 11 a. m., bat Douglass was not arrested till evening, when it was too late to get bail. He was in jail till the next noon, and was then taken to his room in an unconscious state. He was just recovering from a sickness when arrested, and the shock of the arrest was too niuch for his strength. Part of the night be was in a violent delirium, and when taken to his room on Friday last he was geriously sick and fears were entertained for his sanity. The evidence against Douglass is weak. Riohard E. Jolly, of Andrews' store, wiil swear that Mr. Douglass was in the store on the night of May 1, and saw him put the money in the drawer.

He saya that he had paid it out and that it was returned, the party not thinking it good.
