Mr.. Herr-Mr. Kemble state if it is your

to submit to the mandates of the law.
Mr.. kemble-That is the expression l
made and will come. l said if | was living.
| do not intend to run away. l can't afford
to run away from anything.
District Attorney Uollinger protested
against the renewal of the bail upon the
same grounds as in the other cases. 1t is
claimed that there is no precedent for such
! course in the records of the county, and
that as the crime is admitted there should
be no bail taken. Mr.. Hollinger also con-
appear once there are grave doubts as to
whether he will he here on the Goth.
The judge thought that if Mr.. Kemblc
had known that detectives were watching
him at Atlantic City, he ought not to be
admitted to bail. The arrest could have
been made in New Jersey at any time and
it was Mr.. Hollinger's duty to have him
watched so that he did not leave the state.
The judge appeared also to he in some
doubt rs to the sincerity of the counsel for
the defense. The had cajOled him once
before by securing a postponement of SEN
tence to the plea of "preSsing business y
when in reality tho object was to gain
time for an application to the pardon
| board.
"Was not that pressing business ~
asked Mr.. Herr by way of joke.
Judge Pearson said that his colleague
on the bench did not think that the board
had a right to grant a previous pardon
and he had some doubts if the court would
have recognized it.
After some discussion as to the amount
of bail that should be required, the judge
decided to fix the amount at $1,000.
| The Story of the Arrest
Detective Anderson gives the following
and Pinkerton detective, Ellison, arrived
at Atlantic City on Thursday. They first
saw Mr.. Kemble at 11:20 Friday morning.
They watched all departing trains and as
they feared he might leave in carriage
! kept an almost continual watch upon his
hotel. In order to do the latter and avoid
detection they were compelled to lie on the
exposed beach about three hundred yards
from the hotel, where the strong gale from
the sea blew clouds of sand over them
Yesterday morning he was seen to leave
the hotel and proceed to the railroad depot
in company with friend. lie purchased
ticket for Philadelphia and en-
tered a parlor car. The detectives
did likewise. The latter agreed that
if he changed cars at the New York juno
ton and went to New York Anderson was
to 60 on to Philadelphia and report at the
detective agency while the other man fol-
lowed Mr.. Kemble to Trenton where
Anderson would take the watch again
