ARREST OF A MISSOURI JUDGE. – Judge John Watson was recently arrested at Keytersville, Chariton county, on the charge of having been one of the party that broke open the county safe, about a year and a half ago, and robbed it of some $5,000. The Grand Jury of that county indicted him for grand larceny and burglary, and he was required to give ball to the amount of $3,000. This case attracts a great deal of public attention, partly from the fact that the accused is a man of considerable wealth, and at the time the crime was committed was one of the judges of the county court.
