teTesting programme, which will be O

james A. Chsstaine, who has been
the sensational topic for several days,
was before the criminal court yesterday
for arrangement on q bill Of iudictmeEk
changing him with the crime Of forgery
The indictment having been read to
him by DeDuty-CleTk J. E. Harris, O..
2. N. Turner, one Of the counsel for the
defendant, asked for five days time in
which TO plesd to the same. This was
granted and the unfortunate young man
was Temanded by the court to the county
Jail. Doubtless much Of sensational
and startling character will be developed
from the case OF Ch8stsine. We under
stand that he will probably write card
explaining his lettsTs to his wife, in
which he hopes to convince the public
that he was aCtusted by the single mo-
tive Of justice to the pure and unhappy
mother OF his children, whom he deemed
it his duty to free, II possible, from the
pool OF misfortune into which he had
fallen. The public will look for this ex-
PLANTATION with no incOnsideTable ankle
ty, and all will doubtless feel glad il he
can put himself right on that point.
