THE KELSEY MURDER MYsrERY.-The
impression which has gone abroad that at
the recent term OF the circuit court for Suf.
folk county, on motion OF District Attorney
Wlckham, nolle proseQul was entered In
the cases OF Rudolph and Royal Sammis,
Charles u. Kelsey, 10 Incorrect. The facts
are that Mr.. Wickham stated TO the court
that IN his opinion the defendants were not
guilty OF the crime He had been advised by
Gen. Barlow, In April last, 10 have a nolie
proseQut entered, but did not then wish TO
take the responsibility, as the case was not
properly In his hands. Since then, however
the attorney general had committed the case
TO him, and he felt that he could not go 20
trial with any certainty of conviction. II
nolle proseQui was entered now, q new In
oiclment could be found at any time when
new evidence might warrant IL; but IL the in
dictment went 10 trial and an acquittal
should result, no further proceeding could
be taken, no matter what evidence might be
discovered. Judge Barnard, no viewer, view
ed The matter differently, and advised that
The case be brought TO trial, that the accused
might be relieved from the odium OF having
the Indictment remain any longer. He con-
suited with bis associates on the bench, and
The unanimous conclusion was against per-
uniting the nolle prosequi To be entered.
The judge then said that Mr.. Wickham
could have the benefit of Judge Dykmaa's
order, made in April, Mat the defendants be
discharged on their own recognizsnce, aud
Mr.. Wickham concluded to accept the prop.
osltfon. Judge Barnard accordingly directed
an order to be entered releasing the bail and
dfscharging the defendants on their recogni-
zaDce In the sum OF 81 900 each, no proceed
