Garroting.

--On the night of the 5th of this month, as Mr. John H. Gentry was going up 18th street, about ten o'clock at night, he was attacked by two or three ruffians, who knocked him down and robbed him of a valuable gold watch and chain.--Next morning a man named Michael Handly went into Beckman's saloon and offered to sell Beckman a fine gold watch for $2,000. Mr. Beckman took the watch into Mr. Pearce's jewelry store to ask his opinion of it. Mr. Pearce told him of the robbery of Mr. Gentry, and advised him against buying the watch. At the same time Mr. Pearce made a memorandum of the number of the watch, which he subsequently heard was the number of the watch stolen from Mr. Gentry. On Wednesday night officer Granger arrested Handly, and brought him before the Mayor yesterday morning. The Mayor having heard the facts, sent Handly on to the Hustings Court. Handly is one of the three men recently acquitted by the Hustings Court of the charge of robbing one Mary Broderick.
