CRIMINAL CoURr-The examination of
witnesses in the case Of Tim Hays was
continued. The wife of the accused APP
peared in court yesterday, accompanied by
her four children, two boys and two girls.
Colonel A. P, Field, Attorney General
appeared for the prosecution. and Judge
John B. Cotton for the prisoner.
Mr.. Jourdan examined for the defense
Testified that the prisoner was in the habit
of getting intoxicated, and when in that
condition acted like wild man.
Mr.. Burden testified that the prisoner
WAS irregular in his habits; frequently stay
ed out all night drinking and spreeing; did
not consider the prisoner of sound mind.
Mr.. Sheehan testified that he knew Hays
prior to the killing, and he vas generally
under the influence Of liquor. He appeared
TO be perfectly wild, and did not seem to
know what he was doing Sometimes Hays
did not seem to remember what he had
done the day previous. His eyes would be
bleareG and bloodshot and he seemed not
TO be in his right mind. Sometimes Hays
would remain at witness cotfeehouse from
twelve TO one O'Clock at night, and some
times all night. Previous to the time re
ferred TO, Hays had the reputation of being
a peaceable, sober and industrious man.
From the drift of the questions asked of
the witnesses by Defendants counsel, it
would appear that what the defense relied
on was the insanity G. the prisoner at the
time Of the homicide.
Pierre PujOs. charged with murder. was
brought 20 the bar and the trial of his case
postponed until the eighteenth of March.
Mrs. s. Jacobs and Henry Schmidt. in

4 Chicago Episode.

The Chicago newspapers give the follow
ing account of an affair which occurred in
the office of Justice Vantwood, in that city
few days since:
J.R Borrow and l. SchoeD. the fremont
House jiewelry robbers, were brought up for
a preliminary examination. By some
strange oversight on the part of the author
tiles, warrant for the prisoners had not
been procured. When the men were ar
raigned, Superintendent Washburn, on the
part of the people, asked for brief cOntin-
uance, for the purpose OF procuring the ser
vices of counsel. The justice refused TO
grant the continuance, and stated that the
accused were before him without legal pro
cess, and that he had no right 10 detain
them. They were therefore discharged from
custody.
AS soon as these words were pronounced
Barrow arose and started for the door
Detective Tyrrell, however, was on the
spot, and placing hand on Barrows col
lar, attempted to detain him. Quicker
than thought Barrow struck the officer a
terrible blow in the face, and repeated it
with four or five others, delivered so rapidly
as to Overwhelm the officer with astOnish
menr. The courtroom was densely packed,
and much excitement and confusion fol
lowed. Policeman Hogan, the only Off
Ger present, except Tyrr3ll and the
chief, rushed forward, and they were
greeted with q singing blow on the mouth
from the rObber. just as he was striking
back. the hoarse voice Of the justice was
distinctly heard as he exclaimed, pointing
toward Officer Hogan, 81 fine that man five
dollars for contempt of court" Superin-
tendent Washburn's tall form doomed up
he clawed over the heads of the bystand
eTs, ii desperate attempt to reach and aid
his subordinate. Justice FantwOnd jumped
over his judicial desk at a single leap, and
took hand in the lively skirmisb The
clerk of the court pulled out very
small revolver, and, pointing 10 the
right and left, seemed in a quandary as to
which one in the crowd he would shoot first.
The cry of murder brought to the spot about
a score of blue coats, and ten minutes from
the tune of the first blow. quiet WAS re-
stored and the robbers safely pinioned.
The superintendent paid the officers fine,
and, a warrant being procured from another
and respectable justice, led the way 20
Headquarters, followed by the whole
crowd, and the thieves were once more
locked up. Tyrrell's face was disfgured in
a shocking manner. 1t is stated that a
large amount of stolen iewelry has been
recognize d, a portion of which came from
the establishment of Giles Brothers, and
some from Philadelphia. The conduct of
the man Barrow shows him to be desper
ate man, and possessed Of wonderful
strength.

exhibition to an immense audience of one
email boy, the lad sporting very dirty
,hirt The loud mouthed auetioneer,
perched near the ceiling, held half ton
watch in one hand, all the time crying out
imaginary bids. The thing might have
been worth dollar or two but the fellow
shouted that he was bid s6l0 for it. This
NJ disguised the single audience that he
fled, entirely demoralizet.
