Jekl, returning yesterday with the pris
ones. It transpires, however, that the
young man arrested-s youth about 14
years of age-is not the murderer,
though he avows himself to be so. Par
ties who know Terrence say that he is a
brighter colored, taller youth than the'
prisoner. The real name of the latter is
said to be Alfred Joaep. What his ob
jet is in repreeenting himself to be Babin
is yet a mystery. He has told so many
different stories that it is impossible to
say whether he is crazy or has perpe
trated a deliberate fraud upon the a_
thorities with a view to diverting par
suit of the real criminal. His statement
relative to the murder is false on its face,
since he says the difficulty occurred at
SAnrmand Richard's store and the men he
Sclaims to have shot were colored; where
as Alleman and Causin were both white
men and were shot in Mellere's lane, a
0mile or more above Richard's store. We
shall interview the prisoner Monday, and
i report in next week's CU~p' the result of
onr investigation of this pecJiia case.
