Judge Abel regretted to say he regarded this
as one OF the blacklist cases he had ever known ,
ne dld not wish to be discourteous to member Of

Mr.. Belden was cupably concerned in this matter,
and that Hanley had told the truth
| Mr.. Belden protested his innocence After be-
| ing refused himself as bail, because be did not own
property in the parish, surely he would not have
| the hardihood to bring a man for security, know
| ing that be hadno property whatever x, h
AT this stage of the proceedings the attention Of
the court was brought to new development.
mr. 7. T. Mcclure, Recorder Vennard's chief
| clerk, was present to procure the arrest OF one
Michael Cronan, who had given bonds to Recorder
Vennard to appear before the district court to
answer charges of stealing some $4,000 worth Of
property from Messrs. Fosdick d Co., and com
hitting other depredatons against other citizens.
This Cronan had been placed under guard, be-
cause although he was confined with broken leg.
information had been received that he intended
embarking in ship for Europe on Monday night.
Mr.. Mcclure having heard Mr. Beiden declare that
he had no property in the parish Of Orleans. ins
formed the court that Mr.. Belden was bail for
for him made oath that he had property on Maya
Thousand dollars. ... -,..,,.-...,ta.,, s s-z4
Recorder Vennard who was also in court cor
reiterated the statement Of his clerk.
Mr. Belden said there was a mistake in this mat

I Mr. Mac thpra he af,1yo
wrote out the bond and distinctly recollected the
affidavit Mir. Beldcn made about owning property
