THE tUNACY AND CONTEMPT INBROGLIO
The High-Iow Church Case Again Before
the Court-The Contempt Of Mr..
Prichett-Mrs. Aliens Pauper Con.
ditiOn-Further Adjournment.

This interesting case the particulars OF which are
now quite familiar to the public was again before
Judge Cardozo In the supreme Court, yesterday.
Ex-Judge Strong reopened the argument on
behalf OF Mr.. Prichett, the counsel OF Rev. Mr. Allen
who stands charged with contempt Of Judge car
dozo and the Supreme Court. lie read an aliidavlt
OF Mr.. Prichett. in which he claimed that Mrs.
Aliens underclotbing or wearing apparel had been
sold TO pay lawyers fees
In opposition TO the motion OF Mr.. George Shea to
restore Mrs. Allen to the care aud custody OF her
person and property ana to discharge the commit
tee OF lunacy ex-Judge Strong contcnded that an
appeal had been taken OF the reference to the Gene
raj Ierm, and no action had slnce been taken by
Judge Cardozo IN regard to It, lie also cOntended
that the proceedings before the referee were eg
pd,fe the committee OF lunacy not having had an
opportunity to be De heard IN opposition.
Judge Cardozo said tnat undoubtedly the stay OF
proceedings granted by Judge Dwight was abso-
lutey VOID. 1t was Just as much 50 as though no
reference had been ordered and the examination
was conducted IN open court by nun Judge car
uozol and that these proceedings sought to be
stase ed ny an order from Judge Dwight
EX-Judge Strong argued that the proceedings be.
fore the referee were irregular anu that the order
OF Judge Cardozo vacatlng the order Of Judge
Dwight was entirely unwarranted by the regular
practice VI the Court. no notce having been served
ON the opposing counsel; also tnat a COPY oil the
order sUoud nave been served on tne referee, anu
thai no copy oi the report VI the reierce mad been
served on the attorney for the committee. lie said,
excuse for not attending the reference, because lt
was understood by them that ali proceedings were
Stayed by Judge Dwlgnrs order.
Judge Cafdozo SAID he would allow the committee
even now an opportunity 10 put In their testimony
by AFFIDAVIT.
Judge strong SAID he would like to have an oppor-
tunty OF cross e. examining the witnesses.
Judge CardoZO SAID he would grant him that pri-
vege II he would 40 SO before the referee orally
before himself, aud guarantee not 10 interrupt the
proceedings in any way.
slr. George shea, while accedinn 10 the sugges-
ttons OF Judge Cardozo, said that Airs. Alien
was now entirely dependent on charity Tor
her support, and he himself had TO COL
lect funds from gentlemen for her main
tenance, while the committee had sold her
house and property and bad u large lund In their
bands. he therefore thought the Court should
direct the committee 10 supply her with funds
Judge Cardozo said II snc was papaDly neglected
she should be relieved by order OF the Court.
Ihe further nearing was then postponed unil
Friday, at Two o'coek with the understanding that
the committee snouId releve Mrs. Aliens wants
during the pendencs Of the proceedings continued

Officers Mclaughlin and Dyer, OF tho Tenth pre-
clnct yesterday arragned before Justice Shandiey
at the Essex Market Police Court, young man
named Christian Schmidt, on charge OF grand lar
ceny. IL appears that Schmidt Is by business o
Matchmaker, and that he mas been In the habit OF
obtaining watches to repair and then mas pawned
them Tor what he can get Ior them. Two complaints
we're yesterday made against him. julius Bartus,
OF No. 81 Allen street. testified that on the l4th OF
December Schmidt came to his house and took
watch to repair from him, which Is worth fOrty-tve
dollars. The repairs were to be finished In eight
days, but at the expiration OF the time the watcn had
not been put In trim. On the arrest OF Schmidt a
pawn ticket representing Mr.. Bartus' watch was
found in possession OF the prisoner.
Jacob Schaefer, Of No. So Allen street. on the same
day entrusted the prisoner Schmidt with watch
valued ut 500 and to call Tor 1t on the following
saturday, The watch was not ready on the day
named, ana when arrested taere was ioand on the
Schaeifers watch. The prisoner was held TO answer
ON Doth charges III default OF $500 ban.
There ID every reason to believe that many other
persons have been vlctlmlZed IN similar manner.
rhe prisoner can be identified in the Essex Market
Police Court.
