He was brought to tbis city and examined before Commissioner Com-missioner Sprague, and at the con elusion of the examination was bound over to await the action ot the grand jury under $1,500 bonds. It was shown that be bad been in the poetoSjce building, and he confessed to being there at the times stated, but he de nied having either touched or iatendetl to touch the letters, and evidenoe to prove that be had done so was anything any-thing but convincing. He bad formerly been a olerk, and said he went there to sleep, and it did not appear that any letters or parcels had been missed. Since the examination exami-nation he has been confined in the penitentiary, for want ol security, until yesterday, when the grand jury, in handing in their report, announced that they ignored the charge against Feign, and it was therefore dismissed and the prisonei ordered released. |
