case. | have not been able to examine into
the original papers, and / appear at the sug-
gestion of your honor, which l received

| Barrett Of the counsel for the committee
! Of seventy said: The Mayor has spoken as
we all believed he would speak, with digni-
" and ability which We all know he has.
He SAYS he came to dissppoint the malice
of enemies, etc. Here Judge Bixby shook
his head depriciatingly.l Barrett continued
that that they were there under sense
of duty without malice, under a simple
sense Of duty. Therefore he would diSap-
point the Mayor by suggesting to the public
prosecutor that he should not ask any bail
except the Mayors own personal recogni-
zance.
Attorney Garvin said he would be salts
fed with any decision of the court.
Judge Bixby said he would not take bail.
The Mayor explained that his remarks
| were of general nature and did not relate
to counsel, and particularly disclaimed any
reference to Barrett.
] At the conclusion of the Mayors remarks
the audience rose simultaneously, cheered
and yelled frsntically. Cheer followed
cheer for several minutes while the Mayor
/ was Passing from the court.
