written by Moses Mehrbach, q brother Of ex-Aldera
man Mehrbach, who, according to the nots de-
sired Mr.. Jackson to call upon him at once on fms
portant business. Mr.. Jackson, suspecting the
genuineness OF the missive. sent his shop boy to
ask Mr.. Menrbach what was wanted. As soon as
the lad left the three strangers expressed q de-

ments later the boy-who had been told by Mr.,
Mebrbach, who suspected some sinister design on
the part OF those who had written the note, which
was, of course, counterfeit to run back quickly

the principal witnesses against Edward s. Stokes
in his trial for the alleged murder of Colonel James
Fisk Jr, or for the reduction OF their bail to very
small sum, $1,000 being the present amount Of bail
required OF each. These three boys employed
at the time Of the shooting as bell boys in the
Grand Central Hotel, were. it will be remembered,
kept in the House of Detention from the time of
the shooting TO the close OF the second trial, last
January Then they were released with about
three hundred dollars each for their lost time. On
the decision OF the Court OF Appeals granting
stokes new trial they were feafrested under an
order OF the Court Of Oyer and Termner. Mr..
Mott applied to Mr.. Justice Pratt. at the Supreme
Court, Special Term for their discharge, but that
Judge declined to interfere with an order or the
Court OF Oyer and Terminer.
Mr.. Mott, on his motion yesterday, insisted that
the law OF lS45-the only law authorizing the
detention OF witnesses by court oil recOrd-had
no validity for second arrest; or II il had that
1t required the Court to take reasonable recOgnl-
Zance He dwell on the hardship of their long de-
tenton, with possibility Of its continuing Tor
months longer.
Judge Davis said that the ends of Justice were
paramount to all other considerations. He could
not entertain the question of the deprivation OF
liberty TO which these witnesses were subjected.
II was all important that their testimony should
be given at the next trial OF Stokes and II released
now they might be induced to put themselves out
OF the way. He therefore denied the application.
