Misplaced Confidence.
When Henry McDermott preferred
his charges against John ". Gallagher,
John j. Farmer and Lewis b.. Bickta
for keeping gambling den on Shipley
street, and was committed TO jail him
self rs witness, while the gamblers
were succsssful in procuring bail and
walked the streets unmolested, there
was considerable sympathy expressed
for him, and the press Of this city were
unanimous in their appeals TO the pub
lie TO have bail entered and the man re-
leased. While in jail he was very con.
trite, and made many promises OF what
he intended to do II his release was Sc
cured. Finally . gentleman Of this city
entered on his bond, and he was not
only released, but also assisted by kind
friends 10 commence business ON his
own account.

number OF hands, and also became q
member Of church. He expressed his
firm determination to appear against
the gamblers and tell all he knew about
them and their Infamous deps. For .
time everything went wen and the
friends Of Law felt certain that the

attentive to his business and appar-
emily thoroughly reformed, but about
two months ago 1t was learned that the
gamblers had engaged q man to visit
leave the United. States.
the matter, when he replied that he
WAS only laying trap to catch this
man, and that ut the proper time he
intended to have him arrested for
bribery. The gentleman who had
entered on his bail bond upon being
informed thatMcDermott had accepted
money from this man, on account OF
the gamblers, came to the confusion
that he was unworthy Of the trust
which he had reposed in him, and
called on Deputy Attorney General
Biggs to withdraw his bond, but was
informed by him that he had no
authority to act in the matter. This
gentleman then went to Squire O'Neill
before whom the bail was entered, but
he said that the matter was now out OF
his hands, and he had no power TO
take further action.
1t was ascertained In the latter part
of March that MoDermott had accepted
the offer, and was paid $3.50, and
shortly afterwards he left this city. An
effort WAS then made to have the man
who had paid him the money arrested
for bribery, but this also proved abor-
tive, and his surety found that the only
thing left for him to do was to pay the
forfeited bail. McDermott's name was
called several times by Bailiff Ogle On
Monday, but there was, of course, nc
response, and he by this time Is nc
doubt miles away, while the gamblers
are rejoicing at the easy victory they
have won over the law and Justice.
