room In the Essex Market Police Court was
almost ful yesterday afternoon of the Victims
OF j. Henry Langley, the swindler OF over con-
nding seekers Of employment who had money.
The only individuals therein who had not been
victimized by Langley were Assistant District
Attorney Ellis, his prosecutor, and Messrs.
Ayenll and Purdy, his counsel. the former being
OF Averill. Gai dner & Averiil, to whom John
Chrissy, one II the many hard-working men that
Langley had duped. was referred for assuring
info ma ion regarding Langley. Mr. Eilis
engaged, he satu, 10 20 to Altany at u'clOCk,
and Lingiey's counsel were not eager To hasten,
20 the caring was adj jOurned.
Nj. JUun BlackmOre Of loukers made an afii-
dayit before tue clerk, ayerring that Langley,
while At t2 Broadway, operating as IA principal
ugent of tue UNITED Stites Pharmaceutical
Company obtained so IRON hlu, promising
TO employ him (Mr Backmore) as superintend-
ent OF the l,boratOry at So week.
