Ar. -Trude here asked Mr.. Pinkerton a few
additional questions Us to how he came to find
out where the room OF Brockway was. Pinker-
ton answered:
ut was found on 4 note which had been torn
up und thrown On tho floor. 1t was picked up
and pasted together, and the words 's515
Wabash aYenue,'' we're found on the note'':

Mrs. Goldsmith, Of. No. 515 Wabash avenue,
where Brockway had room, was next sworn,
and testified that Brockruy had been occupying
one OF her rooms since the 9TH OF June.n
On cross-cxamination Mrs. Goldsmith stated
that the officers remained in the room probably
half an hour. They searched the room, and
contents.
"Did you see the officers when they passed
up into the room?"
:" Yes, SIR"
You saw them pick the lock OF the yalise?"
YES; thought they were thieves them
Bartholomew Flynn, who with Detective GRAY
visited BrockWay's room at 515 Wabash avenue,
next gave bis evidence. He stated that the
visit was made between s and O'Clock in the
CtCui.tE. 4AG uoOT VI Lne TO01Q LuGT 10und u0-
locked. They found there a satchel, and il that
satchcl was the tin-box. These were both
locked. They found in it lot Of checks and
drafts, stamps, dies, and other articles, all Of
which were
EXHIBITED TO TIE COURT.
This was all the evldcucc adduced. The
auoan. OF forged paper in the courtroom vas
about $1,000. There is about $1,000 now out
standing which has not yet come to light.
Mr: Trude. on behalf OF his client, said that
they would waive examination now, and made
some remarks to the question OF reducing the
bail of the prisoner. The Court had only this
case before him to consider, and the amount of
forged paper said to be in circulation had moth
ing to do with this case There was about
$4,000 of this forged paper in court, and be
thought tile Court~in fixing the bail should be
governed by the same rule as it there had been
larceny Of goods to that amount.
The Court said that SO far rs the amount Of
bail was concerned, the evidence strongly con-
,nected the defendant with the forgeries which
had been committed. The quicker that men
accused OF crime learned that the Courts were
not going to symDathizc with them the better it
would be for the community. He did not think
$4,000 was excessive.
Mr. Stiles thought the defendants financial
circumstances should be taken into account
and hfs ability to obtain bail. The object OF
bail Was to secure the presence Of the prisoner
at the trial and not for punishment. The Court
still adhered TO the sutn named, and Brockway
WAS obliged to 60 to Jail, thus ending the pro-
ceeding until the Grand Jury finds an intlict-
ment, and the cascis brought UP in the Criminal
Court. :.
