in full detail in The EVENING WORLD Of
yesterday, Ia TO be given n chance TO. lay
to prove that he was guilty OF no offense.
and that his arrest aud imprisonment con.
stituted an unqualified outrage upon All
innocent and suffering man.
The story touched responsive chord in
the heart Of the public, and there is every
prospect that the man will be released
before nightfall and restored to his two
heart-broken sisters, whose only support
he is.
Police Judge Duffy. out OF his we'll.
known regard for justice. after reading
the story in THE EVENING WORLD. de.
cided 20 reopen the case. and set down
the examination for 2 O'Clock this after
noon in the ESSEX Market Police Court.
The little Judge was more than busy
when an EVENING WORLD reporter called
on him, for the purpose OF bringing to
his attention the fact that a sick man
had been committed bv HIM to the Work
house for two months on the uncorrobo-
rated evidence of q single all mbulance
surgeon.
Judge Duffy WAS hunderstruck when
be heard the startling array of facts read
to him by the reporter in his private room
at Essex Market. He said he wanted it
distinctly understood that all the evidence
before him was embodied in the formal
complaint Of the surgeon. setting forth
that the man was drunk and had dis
turbed the ambulance service.
IT WAS AN EI PARTE CASE.
:" How could l act otherwise than I
did" he said when there was no other
evidence than what was contained in the
affidavit OF the doctorg I have not been
officially informed of the facts as narrated
in this story, and they surprise me.
when Boyle was brought before me
the charge was such that the man should
be made an example of. and sent him TO
the Island for two months l believed
that BOYLE needed little repairing. as he
looked like drinking man, and deemed
it advisable TO send him to place where
he could recuperate.
BEoPESED AT ONCE.
There was no evidence before me that
Boyle was not guilty ofthe charge against
him, and consider that imposed upon
him light sentence. But it is not my
object to be unjust or uncharitable in my
dealings with the scores Of prison. |
erS that daily come before me, |
aud since | learn that there are other |
alleged facts in the case that were not
brought TO my notice, and if THE EyES-
ING WoELD is Of the opinion that an Ill. |
justice has been done the man Boyle, |
will reopen this case and set the examina. |
ton down for O'Clock this afternoon"
SEEKING MORE EVIDENCE.
Judge Duffy then issued orders that
subposnas be made out for the appear |
anee Of all the witnesses in the case. Six
subpenas were signed by the Judge and |
handed to the reporter for service.
JOY AT BOILE's HOME.
