THE LOCKED UP WITNESSES.
Ane,her Enort In Behalf Of the Boys Whe
Know Something About the Fisk Tragedy
An Appent to Judge Dnvts.

Counsellor John .. Mott yesterday made
another effort before Judge Davis In tho Oyer
and Terminer, In behalf Of James +. Hart, Pat
rick Hart, and John \. Redmond, the three
principal witnesses In tue Stokes case, who have
been compelled to spend over fifteen months In
tho House OF Detention because they have no
rich friends TO become their suretlcs for appear
ance at the next trial. Mr.. Mott represented
that the three young men had been taken from
their places of employ directly after the homi-
eide, January, 1872, and had been detained until
the conclusion Of the second trial Of Stokes,
twelve months. They were then allowed brief
liberty, and manifested no disposition TO depart
from the jurisdiction OF the court. They were
again Imprisoned 10y ali order from the Court Of
Oyer and Termincr. Mr.. Mott contends that
whatever may be said as To the legality Of the
nrst commitment, the second cannot be valid
unless II Is founded upon an old statute OF lS45,
which will not justify the combining OF witness
who IL willing to give his own recOgnizancc for
appearance when wanted, and who manifests
no intent to depart. These witnesses wore Will
Ing to he recognized ia due form, aud would
have done 30 long ago VI they had been afforded
an opportunity The furthcrance OF public JUS
tice, II was admitted, might require the sacrifice
OF individual liberty for a reasonable time, but
when IT extended to this period IL was obvious
that some fundamental error was being com
mitted. The counsellor therefore asked the
Court To examine the statute of lSi5, on which
the detention was based and seeing that it's
provisions had not been complied with, that
the order OF the Court he vacated.
Judge Davis said lie would adjourn the court
until Tuesday next, and would then reheer the
application,
