Garvey's appearance as iniormer in
the Hall case creates profound SEN
satiOn and has brought CONSERVATION
to Hall and his counsel, Gsrvey's re-
turn is due to the negotiations of his
wife, several weeks ago, with the at
tOrney-general and Samuel J. Tilden,
by which Gsrvey was promised i'm
munity from prosecution on his turn
ing States evidence and returning
some of his ill-gotten moneys. He
has been Ia cOncealment at his resi-
dence for about a month. It is al
legged that IDgersol will also turn in
former. But few knew that Garvey
would be a witness until his name
was called. The counsel for Hall say.
they do not think their case will be
much affected by Garvey's testimony.
Still there Is general trepidatiOn
among the entire Tammany ring over
the proceedings Of yesterday. Every
effort viii be made by the friends of
the ring to have Garvey arrested on a
new order, the old order having eX-
pired by limitation. His turning
States evidence so endangers the sale
ty of Tweed, Connolly, Sweeney and
all the rest that it Is believed they
will fee from the city.
