New YORK HERALD, Nov. 81
The case of Colonel Blood, who is ac-
cused by AIR Luther G. Chailis of c9m-
plieity in the alleged slanders pu blished
by Woodruff & Clafin in their Weekly,
came before Judge Fowler again yester>
day in the room of the Third District
Judicial Court at jefferson Market.
The Court said that it was unfortunate
that the writ Of habeas corpus had been
incorrectly drawn, and thought that it
was not advisable to proceed with the
case until the witnesses whose presence
was so desired could be brought before
him.
Mr. Howe bowed with a very bland
smile, and said that he supposed then
that the ladies would grace the Court
with their presence on the morrow; to
which the Judge again assented. The
examination was then formally adjourned
until to-day at o'clock
Mr. Challis, after the decision of Judge
Fowler, was IN consultation with his
counsel, Mr.. Knox, in a room attache to
the Police Court, and was little later
here seen by the Herald representive.
His whole manner was manly and can~
did, and speedily disarmed cynicism by
creating in its stead strong, synpathee
tic impulse. In personal appearance Mr..
Challis is very progressing, has fine,
intellectually formed head, and clear,
honest eye He is quite bald, but his
mustache and whiskers are luxuriant,
and his color fresh and warm. His ex'
element regarding the present case Is
very intense, and his determination to
punish the alleged attempt to slaughter
his reputation is bitterly sincere and is
not of the sort that will accept cheap pa
ciGcation. lie feels keenIy the uDplea-
antness of the publicity which has been
forced upon him, and most of ali the posi-
ton in which it places him IN the eyes of
his friends and society, although not the
least credence may really be given to the
wild ISLANDERS that have been uttered By
Mesdamcs Woodruff & Clafin
He who steals my purse steals trash something
thing;
Twas mi ne It's his has been slave thousands
But he who flehes from my good name,
Robs of thai which not enriches him, and makes
poor indeed.
MIR Challis, in righteous resentment,
says that he will press his cause to the
utmost, and although he has been inform
ed that the attack upon him is melted
and paid for by old enemies, fellow
brokers and merchants, he yet has asa
surances from hundreds of gentlemen of
family and posit on OF their earnest sup>
port and sympathy. 1t is whispered that
the Claain sisters intend to make IA clean
breast of it," in order to lift all blame
from the shoulders of Col Blood and set
him at liberty, doubtless with the hope
that he can then aid them greet deal in
getting nd of their present trouble.
