RELEASE OF THE MURDERER PRATT.
The case Of John II. Pratt, the Texas rioter,
was set for examination before Commissioner
to-day, but Marshal Barlow declined to pro-
duce the prisoner at present, as he had been
served with an order from Judge McCunn of
the Superior Court of New York to release
him, and as he had not force enough at his
command to hold him against the will of the
State Court. AT the motion of the Assistant
District Attorney the case was postponed until
Monday. In the meanwhile Judge McCunn
had prepared a warrant for the arrest of Mar
shall Barlow and Major Taylor, commander of
Fort Schuyler, where Pratt is confined, on an
affidavit of one Noble f. Birge that he believed
that the Marshal was about to take Pratt out
of the State. Before they were served, how
ever, compromise was effected, the Assistant
District Attorney agreeing that Pratt should
be produced in the Superior Court at two o.
clock this afternoon. 1t is understood that
Commissioner Osborn took no part IN their
stipulation, as he holds that the prisoner is still
under his jurisdiction and the State Court can
not interfere.
