Tweed's Movements After Conviction.

New YORK, Nov. 90.
Mr. Tweed waited impaticntly till the
adjournment of the court at Il quarter to
three Wednesday morning, and was on
hand among the earliest in the court room
at the reopening of the session. lie was
entirely self-possessed, and even the an
nounccment Of the jury's entry did not dis
turb his apparent serenity. 1t was false
alarm, however, as the jury only wanted
instructions Having got these they re-
tired to reappear in ten minutes with their
verdict. The specialization Of this verdict
had prepared the defence for the motion of
Mr.. Tremain, which was substantially for
special punishment on each offense in
other words for 81, l02, or 204 ycrrs' i'm
prisonment for the defendant and for 81,
1902, or 204 times $3.50 fine. The case had
been tried on the supposilion that but one
years imprisonment and $3.50 fine could be
inflicted on all the counts, and the motion
OF Mr. Trcmain was therefore a surprise to
everybody, Judge Davis, who had on the
former trial given currency to the general
impression, expressing a wish that this
question should be fully argued before
him. Mr.. Tweeds commitment was
to the city prison. Sheriff Brennan took
charge Of him. and while the crowd was
moving off the two disappeared 1t was
very disappointed crowd that waited
some hours to watch the transportation to
the Tombs. Mr.. Tweed did not appear,
remaining some time in the ante-roOm Of
the court. He said to the sheriff that the
verdict had been very unexpected one,
and he had many matters of private bust
ness that must be attended to before Sat
urday. lie therefore asked that the com
mitmcnt be not Immediately carried out.
The law requires that the convict be taken
to confinement ''within a reasonable time"
and in this case the clause, by consent of
Judge Davis, apparently was so interpret
ed that Mr.. Tweed will not 90 to the
| Tombs. remaining in the custody of Deputy
| Sherilrs Shields and Carroll. After SEN
tcncc, if no new developments are made,
he goes to Ludlow street Jail and thence to
! Blackwcll's Island. Avoiding the notice
of the crowd the three passed out to a
coach in Chambers street and drove to Mr.
Mr.. Tweed's office, No. 81 duane street
where the prisoner was busy until late in
the afternoon with his counsel. 4 crowd
awaited his coming at the Tomhs until the
Sharlicy escape absorbed all inquiry, and
was much disappointed at his non-appear-
ancc.
Mr. Tweed renamed at his office in Du-
interruption was permitted, as he was bus
lily occupied in arranging some private mat
ters, but of exactly what nature did not
transpile. There were but few callers, and
with the exception of one or two personal
friends none were given admission to the
privacy Of the Office. Shortly after six
o'clock he was driven to his residence, al
the corner of Forty-thlrd street and Fourth
avenue. He was accompanied by Deputy
Sheriff Shields ana two assistants, whose
names did not tIanspre. During the even,
Ing a number of visitors called at his resi-
dence to see him, but the sable youth at the
door cautiously inquired the object of the
visit and the name of the visitor, and usct
his own discretion in disclosing the where
abouts of his master. To the many he de
MED that Mr. Tweed had arrived at home
or that he had even been heard from
An OPINION OF JUDGE DAVIS.
An opinion of Judge Davis, delivered a
the first trial is printed, to the effect tina
the prisoner can be sentenced only on on,
count.
