that 1t is only used in lubricating pur.

1t for culinary purposes, who have not the

cars, laden with the carcasses OF animals
which have fallen in the city and In the

injury TO American trade, as can easily
be imagined.

versation held In Vallette's ship yard"
Such is Pats statement. Pat has the reputa-
ton In Algters OF being a very fxhty sort Of
man. and by some he IL tHought to be- insane.
His sayings must. therefore. be considered and
studied before any credence is placed In their
meaning. The prisoners were removed to the
Parish Prison.
and Dyer examined the man Pat" at the
Eighth Precinct Station. and pronounced him
Insane. An application for a writ or habeas
corpus was made before Judge Whitaker by the
friends Of the prisoners. to have them released
on the strength OF the fiat Of the doctors
Judge Whitaker opened his court at 1880
o'clock. and Mr.. Luzenberg. OF counsel for the
Drisoners. urged upon the court the necessity
OF releasing the parties. as the af1 mt had
been declared insane by the city physician.
Certificate was read to the court. signed by Drs.
Ftnney. Riley. Dyer and Chastant, stating that
after due examination. they had adjudged Pat
Cannon to be non COmpOs me7ltis.
Judge Sarrazin. Of Algiers, was present In
court. He gave an order for the release Of the
prisoners. who were brought before the court,
and Immediately released by Judge Whitaker
Pat" the rat. is detained at the Eighth Pre-
cinct station.
The charge against the Messrs. vallette and
the two other gentlemen was never for mo-
ment thought true by the ARiers people for
they are all descendants OF old families Of Al.
Rters. and. moreover. have been personally
known to the Algerines as most gentlemanly,
peaceable and quiet persons.
