Being Released-She is Again To BE
Tried in June.
The Kings county Court Of Oyer and Termner
convened again yesterday morning at the Brooklyn
Court House. Judge Calvin Z. Pratt and Associate

MOTION FOR BAIL.
Ex-Judge Morris, of counsel for Mrs. Fanny Hyde,
appeared and moved to have the prisoner admitted
to bail until the next trial. The prisoner was then
present. The court room was crowded. In making
the application Judge Morris said :-s'Therc will be
no disagreement between the District Attorney and
myself In regard to the result OF the trial which
occupied all OF last week. The Jurors stood ten for
acquittal and two for mansaughter in the third
until the time of their discharge, which
at seven O'Clock yesterday morning.
The case has been fully tried on both Sides and /
submit under the circumstances that it Is proper
that reasonable bail should be fixed in this case.
The highest offence suggested by any OF the Jurors
these two jurors-was manslaughter, and the other
ten for absolute acquittal. The parties
poor and are not able to give very large bail, but

TnE DISTRICT ATTORNEYS REPLY.
District Attorney Britton delivered quite an elab

tried again In June host OF witnesses might he
called TO show that In the meantime she had sud
denly become insane again and all the
paraphernalia surrounding that testimony
might be produced in Court. There would
be no time TO meet II, and Ii the
prisoner allowed TO go into the world
In that wayf the eurmises OF the prosecution were
cOrrect--t would be affordng means to successfully
carry out this plan OF defence and the subsequent
aoQuittal of the prisoner, whom he believed guilty
OF the offence charged Under these circumstances

Judge Pratt said that the presumption was that
Mr.. Britton replied that that was the legal pre-
sumption and said that he would leave the rcspon
sibty with the Court.
Mr.. Morris said that the defence did not claim
that the prisoner was insane on the trial. The tes
fimony OF Dr. Corey was that he discovered no evil
dence OF insanity. The District Attorney suggested
not that the prisoner ought not to be baDed but
that II she were the defence would manufacture
testimony al interim that he would not be pre-
pared to meet. Mr.. Morris said that he thought
the defence had abundant evidence without That,
and hardly thought that this suggestion would
have any weight with the Court. The prisoner was
ia feeble health.

fixed the bail at 500, two sureies being required
