that he was insolvent.
Richard o. Haskins was here called but did net
answer.
Mr.. Mayo. Prosecuting Attorney, here desired
| that Abraham w Rand should be sworn.
Mr.. Scott, counsel for A. w. Rand, entered a
protest against his being used witness against
Oh. Rand. The protest set forth that A. w. Re nd
was citizen of the commonwealth of Massachu-
Sets and was here under charge of felony com.
| mitted in Virginia, by command of the Chief Ma
gstrate of Virginia, fugitive frem justice On the
23rd of June last he a. w. r. was admitted to
bail in the sum OF $1,000 in Boston, on the charge
of being concerned in the Portsmouth bank robbie
ry. Ten days were allowed to the prosecu ton to
adduee testimony,-at the end of that period he
was examined, and no one appearing to sustain the
charge against him, he was discharged. On the
9th inst, as he was leaving his home to attend to
business he was arrested again. hurried to Virginia
in custody of the police, and denied all opportunity
of communing with any one. On arriving at Rich
mond, his counsel, Mr. R. G. Scott, was denied the
privilege of communing with him except for a
moment in public street, and this denial was &C
companied by the declaration of the poll; officer
that he coul1 not permit any interview with A. w.
Rand until after he had seen the Commonwea,rh's
Attorney. He was not permitted to ho private
conference with his counsel until after he had seen
the Commonwealth Attorney.
He a. w. r. was here charged with high
crime, and he was prepared to repel that charge
now. He was called upon to act as a witness
against his BROTHER but he could not agree to sub
init to this demand until his own was disposed
Of He knew of nothing to implicate his brother
could not be disguised that the demand which
brought him "a. w. RANDI here was ma de under
no hope of sustaining the charge, but with the most
unjust design of using him as witness. He there.
fore entered his most solemn protest against the
examination. After a lengthy argument between
counsel as to the commonwealth right to arrest a
person on a criminal charge in another State, heto
be used as a witness in this State,
The Mayor decided that A. w. Rand testimony
should be heard-on the ground that there was no
proof of the fact that he had been arrested in Bos
ton on a criminal charge to be used here as W.T.
ness. He could be used witness and yet be
amenabe for trial afterwards.
AT the request of Mr.. Scott, counsel for A. w.
Rand, the protest was attached to the warran of
commitment, or entered upon the record as far as
it could be before the Mayor.
