NJ Whi.iog Of Nsw.York and Mr.. s. p. Ransom Of
Jsney City appeared for Col. Bount Mr.. Richard T..

we're present but /. stated th.t they we're in the NJ
sui,y Of the Court Hcuse. Mr.. Mulford VINO nss rep
sses,ted de Ryiere was net in Court.
NJ Ransom said that they proposed to proceed s1d
10 take evidence as to the facts asserted by Mr.
Hnsahe IN his return, and which they hsd trsverss3.
NJ DemiDg objected to the examination Of witnesses
On the ground that the requirements Of the wrt hs9
AseD fally answered. Mrs. Blount wss already in
Court and Miss Emily j. Blum. was given irto the
sustedy Of her father on Friday in compl ace with
compromise entered into Thursday evening, taa ii
fastber proceedings be discontinued.
M Ransom denied that tae other side hsd csfei
out any par. Of any arrangement compromise. Ms
sAe, had actually run away from them, by the sd of
tbs Philadelphia police whom she called upor for pro-
test,cn. She cane through from Pnilsdelphis in tue
nip bt under the care of the conductor, but she was
fslloEed by one Of her pursuele, Df. Muliord, WAC
tssd TO induce her to 20 TO Hoboken. THIS Dr. Nal
sord was brother OF the counsel Of De k.ylere in
PAnsdslphia he had tried bis best - iniuce her to
10 with him 70 see De Rviere, who he sad vas
s s HAVING sees 1% a. s6e te 5 ps
vould not 60; that she had told the police who
she wss and they would protect her. Dr.. Nal
Srd then came in with her, ard tried to prevent
her from goirg 10 her father and insIly left her
the side walk at clock Friday morning ard fed
The hsckmsn rang ths bell and got her Ia hsr up, 10
highly improper to let the matter drop here. She had
made some terrible disclosures They had witnesses
70 prove facts which would make his H1nor's cir
stand 10 learn what hsd been done by men claiming
turn was false, and known to be such by tle 10 VINO
drew il and the man who sigued 1t, and tney hsd
right to show It for the purpose OF laying the tOuu-
dssion OF q criminal p,Ose 3utiOn. When Hducke
rvore he did not know when the girl LETT, or where
she went, be swore TO positive lie and his counsel,
Muliord knew it when he read the affidavit. As
sficers Of the court and members OF the bar, they
felt deep interest in having the matter fully nyest
n. Den.ing ssid he did not see the connection be.
tween this suit and aproceedns against Huncke and
Mulford for perjury. he could prove from Mr. Null
foas brother entirely different state OF facts from
that alleged.
Judge Whiting said he did not propose TO make his
hair sisDd but he did propose, while he was abou it,
TO show his completely in this matter also. Toe time
for his hair to stand should have been before he
ssnted TO Join the conspiracy which they were pre-
pared TO prove existed. Last Thursdsy tney al acted
der rhe belief that Mss Boun left the house OF Dr..
DE Weess in New.York Of her own voton, and had
subsequently consented TO being concsalei. Pab.
bestjOns which smanated from the Hotel Napo-
,~or, where Mr.. Deming boarded, had strength,
With Blount on the subject, and proiessed for
him . friendship which events showed was h)-
low pYe.ense. Thse eonspirators had brought about
interview between Bount and hia wife which led to
hs arrangement on Thursday, and II was all based
upon this belief, which t1ey knew az the time TO oe
eIropeous. Supposing that they were beng fsulP
dealt by, they were willing to consent 10 tle d'eoa-
6nusnCe OF the proceedings on cenolll0n thab Tie
daughter should be restored and tle mother return TO
or copiugsl allegiance. Had the fac.s turnet ol to
be true which Deming then knew to be isss, they
could not ask for further proceedings in ths CoaEt,
but disclosures bsd been msde which gave the ausr
On entirely new aspect and they were casr bound
by sny arrangement. The other cay he had stated
that II he knew anything of the workings OF humsn
..tue, the young lazy eou,d Se PrUasSsa bsr. IN sSs M
wss, but did not suppose she was concealed agains,
her will. But the next morning. at or O'CLOCK, he
was answered with the intelligence tast she hsd hed
rom her isors 70 her fathers Then came these
disclosures that Hurcke and Multord had forced her
10 leave the Napoleon Hotel a. night and had together
conveyed her down the line Of the Delaware River,
sesretipg her from place to place, under false rsme
and fake gsrb, until by coup de NAN she escaped
70 the projection Of cvzston and found fien Is who
Aesstsd her TO return. They had evidence tna'
Huseks drove the carriage part Of the way, and do
hversd her over TO Muord for the res OF her jo1r-
nsy Of captivity. Finding then that these con-
spirators had acted upon false pretsnses,
they proposed TO produce such evidence as would
bring Huncke INTO contempt and subject him c just
cculd taIe further action their duty would be dis
ehsYRed. The fact OF Miss Blounts restoration, by
% interference on the part OF Huncke or his friends
but rather IN Pte OF IT, did no; ansss t the power OF
rstwp. The jurisdiction OF the Court conticusd until
law and justice fully vindicated As 10 the com.
premise, it was only suggested that they proceed no
further against De Rviere, and they consented TO tha.
pnder the superstition that the lSiies hsd run after
him willingly, and he could not be held legally respon-
sbie for that but there was no stipulation az M
curing as 70 the truth of unckes return ana iadeea
they could have had no power 10 compromise perjury
aad the worse vilany which accompaniment II. law
yer who hAd been in business IN Wall street ss long
a Deming, must know that TO compound felony
with the sanction Of the court was an unhesrd OF pro-
ceediog. They would show that a. : O'Clock ON the
morning when Mr.. Huncke returned, Miss B!ount lett
HE house with his knowledge she rode aTsy from
his door in carisge driven either by him or ms pnn-
etAl baY.keeper that he, his bsrkeeper MIfofd Snd
the young lsdy al rode to Ez sbethtown, where they
ersskastSd together and that there Huncke ei them,
while Mulford proceeded with this poor csged BIRD
thn sacrifice TO their yilsny-to more dst.nt pace
ofcaptiyty. The State OF New Jersey wouH fail IN
her duty II she neglected 70 ferret this transaction
and punish az concerned in il. The honor OF the pro-
feesscn humanity and the safety OF society alike de-
nana<d it. They intended only to Prove nov hat the
rsturn was fslse tbs; Huncke knew II when he
signed Il. and tbs; Mulford knew when he wrote il.
Tksn they would SAX the Court to take such further
steps as Justice and ths laws Of the land may require
