torneys Office with his son and secre-
tary. In the Supreme Court his coun.
sci presented to Judge Davis the order
of the Court of Appeals for his dis
charge from the penitentiary, which
was signed by the Judge. The Boss

Oyer and Terminer, before Judge
Brady. The room soon packed with
people, and An immense number Of
others were clamoring for Admittance.
District Attorney Phelps moved that

indictment found in Noy. 1873.
David Dudley Field, counsel for

to pursue his old tactics and stave off
the proceedings % long % possible.

After long argument In which It
was argued on one side that there was
no reason why this should be made .
special case, and special favors be
shown Tweed, and on the other, that
such fav0rs had been shown him, he
having been outraged by illegal con-
finement.
Counsel further said it could not be
considered . special favor to issue
warrants In civil suit for six mill
ions and fix the bail at the enormous
figure of three millions, and that such
bail was unheArd of.
Eyes" said Peckham s'stealing ak
millions was an unheard of thing nm
til defendant committed that theft"
The matter here rested, and Judge
Brady stated he believed defendant
ought to have time to examine the
indictments, but would not give .
formal decision until later In the day.
