But when meditatng In the watches OF the night In
her cell In the Tonbs prison, she argued that, II she
disgorged Justice would ptyingy let her go free, her
reasoning was only a woman's logic after all. Yet,
strange to say, her learned counsel, John d. Town
send, not only found no fault with It, but made
the retransfer Of No 166 Madlsonave to It's ghtful
owner Mr.. Marsh, which was completed yesterday
morning by the recording OF the deed-the basis Of
an immediate appeal to Justice Kbreth to accept Mr.
Marshs ball. and when that refused, to lower the
amount OF bail fxed which the Justice also declined to
do.
