About noon Judge Davis was engaged In listening TO
the excuses OF jurors, when Mr. william A. Beach and
Assistant District Attorney Rollins entered aud ho d
u consultation with him. Alter q few minutes Mr..
Beach withdrew aud returned with portly man,
dressed in black aud wearing ianciiul silk
scari loosely around his neck. This person walked
up close the Bench took q at
the counsel's table, where he deposited his hat,
leaned his head upon his hand and gazed around him
with careless air. Several of The court attendants
recognized in him the former Commissioner OF the
H'rlcm Court House-Harry Genet The soon
spread through the corridors, and IN few inmates
the court room was crowded with spectators anxious
to learn the OF his return Around tho
City Hall the created considerable excitement
among the local politicians, and there was good

THE SHERIFF CALLED.
Judge Davis--Do | understand that Mr.. Genet has

IL was now Mr. Rollins turn to speak al aid not
participate sand he .n The trial of this case and am
very little acquainted with tho iaos developed by il
My attention has been called ever 70 Inc nature
OF Tho chaige which was made against the mt
and to the claim that rs made IN s behalf py the
counsel that the Indictment upon which he was con.
vcted did not describe the offence OF which he was
guilty ii he was guilty Of any upop these Iacts That
L. thai the ac dd not amount to case OF obtaining
goods by false pretences Certainly thero may well
be deemed to Do some doubt OF thai question 1t Is
animated that Your Honor has directly or indirectly
had your attention called to tho matter"
NO." replied Judge DAVIS, 81 have not Counsel
