were present In anticipation OF the arraignment OF
the party with whom the police OF the Nineteenth
precnct mad fight on Sunday night. They were
manly composed OF friends OF the prisoners, the
remainder being louDgers and persons looking after
their own business. After the ether business of the
Court was attended to the prisoners were brought
in and answered to their names as follows:-
Mathew, william, Robert and George Lavery; John
Lestrange ana Daniel Dougnerty, charged with the
assault on Oaicer Lambrecht aud the other officers
who were with hlm Thomas, alias "Stitch," McCar-
baDe murder OF Oficer Tully
Nearly all OF them mad marks or violence on some
parts OF their bodies. LesIrange was discharged
because tue police were satisfied that he had
nothing to do with the affair." All the others were
held III 81, 900 each TO answer. D0ugherty was the
only one who gave bail, and he was released.
Clemens who Is heir TO $4,000 real estate, mad no

allow him time TO reflect upon his past career by
leaving him IN prison for some time. He seems TO
feel his present position acutey but still denies
that he had anything TO do with officer Tully.
Officer Lambrecht Will, IL is expected, be out
