HARRY GENET AT HOME.

HE DENIES ALL INTENTION OF FLIGHT, AND
SAYS HE Has no INFORMATION OF WHAT THE
SUPREME COURTS DECISION WILL BE IN HIS
CASE.
The report which was published yesterday in
morning newspaper to the effect that Harry Genet
had again flown from the city created great deal Of
excitement, which was. however allayed by its
authentic denial in the Ereng Telegram 1t is alleged
by many persons that it was maliciously in
spred by enemies of the accused. His bail
amounts to s25.000 and his bondsmen-Peter X.
Knapp and Judge Thomas Pierson-eyince no
alarm whatever in view Of the decision which must
soon emana.e from the Supreme Court on the merits
of his case. After that is rendered there will be but
one more res.rt for him which will offer possible
escape from the condemnation OF the law. He may
carry his to the Court OF Appeals, but it will be
seen below that he leaves the question of what course
he shall in future pursue entirely TO the judgment of
his counsel.
