ter Florence, Mrs. Bolton, Judge lngersOll,
counsel for Mrs. Cowles, and ii. Gibson,
representing the Drummond Secret Service
Agent at Washington. Mr.. Hale looked
very thoughtful, was faultlessly attired,
and trifle pale after his nights contine-
ment. Mrs. Cowles had her child Flor
ence by her side, and her sister-in-law,
Mrs Bolton, was in constant attendance.

/ child into court, which they did, placing
her in the care of Bailiif Laiemess. Mr..

compelling the nuns TO produce the child
/ in legal form. Judge Alathie granted the
writ after examining the afiidavits, which
were filed, reciting IN substance the facts
made known in last nights dispatch. The
writ was made retunahle for three o'clock
| this afternoon, when the case will be ar
]
represented, but Hon. Mr.. Lailamme will
appear for him this afternoon.
Mr. Hale was asked for some eXplana-
tiOn of his act, and Mr.. Gibson who was
standing by his side, said: "Cowles had
| threatened his sister repeatedly and made
la movement to produce pistol he was
/ known to carry. You must make your own
/ inference"
As reason why the wrtS should be
granted, it was affirmed that Cowles was
an improper person to charge Of the child;
/ that he was dissolute man, addicted to
adultery, alcohol and opium.
