The Patenburg riot investigation was resumed
this morning at ten O'Clock In the Grand Jury room,
Justice Durham presiding. The benches on which
the prisoners sit were not 80 thckly filled this
morning as on the last day Of the examination,
three Of the prisoners having been discharged for
lack Of sufficient evidence to hold them. They win
probably be almost entirely emptied In q few days
more, as the case against most Of the men has COM
pletely broken down. There are at present but
ten more witnesses to be called. question
has been raised as to the proprlety OF the
defence calling witnesses in behalf OF the
prisoners and this privilege has been conceded by
the prosecuting attorney. Messrs. BIRD ana Kun
will avail themselves OF the permission and intend
to issue few subpGnas, which will have the efiect
OF prolonging the agony few days longer. An
other prisoner, Cornelius McGreanor, was brought
In yesterday.
The FIRST witness called at the opening OF the
Court was Abraham Van Syckel, the old man who
had been under examination when the Court ad-
journed on Wednesday afternoon. Mr.. Van Syckel
is very respectable old gentleman and renders
his evidence with considerable hesitation.
