tender You our sincere ana heartfelt THANKS ror

manner In which they performed disagreeable
duty.
prosecution never came to close quarters with the
defence, but Mr.. Tremain, who, he was willing to
arguments. Counsel had brief prepared, and he
wanted the case set down for hearing some day
next week: he wished to argue thal a. as super
way provided by the Revised Statutes. He also
eulogized the able manner IN which his associates
had argued on these points already.
Judge DAVIS concurred In this and said the
points were ably and clearly put. and were passed
points that he thought 1t would De waste OF time
TO hear argument on them again, and he thought
they should DE heard by another Judge.
Counsel Tor the defence replied tnat considering
the lallibty OF human Judgment, the matter should
be delayed. or else punishment that would dis
grace man who once held so high place in the
community might be held never to have been in
nlcted. ana that delay OF Q few hours would be
was fastened in the DEFENDANT and the axe sus-
pended over his head. For his part he never could
look on fallen foe except with an eye OF pity.
Judge DAVIS SAID he was thinking OF hearing the
argument tomorrow, but he could not possibly
put it on until next week.
Counsel for the defence said he couldn't possibly
be ready.
Mr.. Bartlett suggested that, considering that his
associate ass counsel had only got two hours, sleep
day.
Judge Davis said he had no objection to let the
District Attorney Phelps said he would move the
Ingersoll case for trial on Monday
Mr.. Tremain said he could not be here on Satur-
day.
The argument was then set down for Saturday.
TwEED'S COMMITMENT.
Mr.. Alen-Meantme l ask Your Honor that
the defendant stand committed by order OF
the Court
Judge-Yes. SreriG, take Mr.. Tweed into custody.
Mr.. Treman-I think it right to say that, on
moving Tor judgment, the counsel for the govern
ment will suggest, rather than argue, that there
a
counts, which may be divided into two offences.
We win suggest tnat, on pronouncing sentence, If
a term OF Imprisonment be awarded. the term OF
counts; that there be a separate judgment on each
one OF The counts, making 81 dstnct claims, or 2O4
distinct counts.
Counsel Tor defence said that point was disposed
lenges under each count, on the ground that no
matter how many counts there was out single
offence.
Judge Davis said, on the contrary. what he held
was, that the challenges applied not to the counts,
but to the person.
The prisoner was then removed in custody OF
Sheriff Brennan and Deputy Sheriff Shields.
It was very evident that Tweed felt most deeplv
him. For moment his breast heaved with his
pent up emotion. 1T was the monster lion strug-
Cling in the jungles. His great seli-mastery
proved dominant. He quickly rallied, and when
once, but left in the custody OF the Shers officers,
he became himself again. He was the old smiling
William NJ Tweed-tne old "B0ss" Tweed.
Although almost everybody had thought q con-
viction foregone conclusion, yet very few in the
court room could realize the tact that such was
the verdict. 1t came upon them as athunderbolt.
They had come to believe the great BOSS" invul-
nerable. But while there were stricken hearts
among Tweed's friends at this lgnOble tall OF their
old chiettain there were but few who had the bra
very to deny the justice OF the verdict.
