Meter. broker, and KILLER Outcall, an At
torney.
The Court having been informed as TO who
they were, and that they desired TO enter
into a receenizancc 10 appear for trial. their
bonds were fixed at $4,000 each. Prose-
cutting Attorney Pugh was, OF course, moi
present. One OF his assistants is away on
his summer vacation and the other was al a
game OF baseball. The State was, therefore,
moi represenied " hen The bonds were taken,
and it was done with the condition attached
that the prosecution may be heard at later

satisfactory.
Later in the day an attempt was made by
the It. Nichols Hotel to secure an attach
ment against Mr.. Ives IN civil proceeding,

not regard it ne an individual debt.
when executing his bond Mr.. Ives re-
marked, in an aside, that it all seemed aiarce.
When questioned, however, he refused TO
say ANYTHING further as TO the matter. He
inquired in the most innocent manner where
the prosecuting attorney could be found.
Their bonds were signed by Mr.. Meter and
William b. Smith, wealthy sporting man,
who MADE his money ~ proprietor OF policy
games and Kentucky lotteries. They viii
remain here for a day or two and before

nation obtained. lie said Woodruff

mere clerical capacity, and his indictment
was formal matter only, and Il not really

and Siayner caused the renewal OF the testing
at the expense Of Mr.. Pugh aud the two de-
tec,ivcs with whom he made the descent
upon New York. II was suggested that re-
questions he made for them. ana that Ives
