Hearing In Court?
When Judge Robertson assembled tho
bench yesterday morning, and raped
with his new gayel for order, there was
larger crowd in tho courtroom than
usual.
The lawyers were nearly all present.
The Judge asked if the commonwealth
was ready in the case OF Edward Daniel,
alias William Lakewood. Mr. Scott,
for the prosecution, said that he could
not say, as commemorative Attorney
Smith had not yet arrived. Pretty soon
Mr.. Smith walked in and held consul
tation with Mcssrs. Scott and Bibb.
They seemed anxious to go on with the
case, but there was something that pre-
vented it.
Judge Robertson again asked if the
commonwealth was ready. Mr.. Smith
said he would be very glad to go into
the case, but there was one very mater
lal witness absent. 1t was lady, and
she was tho first person who saw Mr..
Massic after he had been struck. lie
had made certain declarations to her,
which no one else knew anything about.
She was absent. Her husband had a
peculiar adversion to having her appear
in the case. He referred to Mr.. b. Lacy
lIoge. 1t had been charged that he in
tended to send his wife out of the state
before She should testify in the case.
lie has sent her away, and tho common
wealth is consequently not ready. lie
would like to have u rule isaued for her
appearance.
Judge Robertson said he would send
an officer after her, if any one knew
whore she was.
Captain berkeley, counsel for Daniel,
also wanted Mrs. hoge as witness, and
the Judge ordered the case continued
till July %.
Daniel was brought out and given
seat beside his counsel, Captain Berke-
ley. He has improved in appearance
wonderfully under close confinement.
His face is bleached nearly white. and
he seems to be in tho best of health.
The plaintive whino about his being
poor, innocent imbccile has afforded
much amuSemC II .around the court room.
Detective Campbell, who worked up
the case, is pretty hot about the publ
cation, and said to TIMES reporter
that it was mistake for any one to
think he had secured his evidence with
any view OF re ward. He had worked by
the day for tho city and had not yet
been paid.
1T seems that tho side Of the defense
is growing stronger in the number Of
Witnesses. Daniel had several present
yesterday, most all Of them strangers
who are unknown in tho city.
Captain Berkeley gave ..notice that he
would apply for bail for the prisoner.
Judge Robertson stated that he would
hear tho application after the court adj

THE PERPETUAL WALKER.
III He Had Good Path He Might Trave
Around the World

Around the World.
Quite often the ingenious makers Of
toys hit upon some continuance intended
to amuse children which possess genu-
inc interest for those who are interested
In. mechanical combinations. Such a
toy has lately been invented in Franco,
and is described by La Nature.
1t consists of q puppct or small hui
man figure in metal which holds in its
hands, as sort of balancing-pole, a
metal rod bent in the form of an in
verified V, or rather of a hairpin with
the ends somewhat opened apart.
BY reason of the bringing of the con-
ter of gravity 6elo~ the figure by this
rod or balancing pole, the puppet is
kept in IN upright position on any sup

port which is narrow enough to be
spanned by the two arms of the pole.
Placed on q raised bohrd or strip, set ut
slight inclination, this puppet, which
the French call 10 marcheur intdtiga6b
or tireless walker, will march along,
putting forward first one foot and then
the other, and initiating the movements
of somewhat stiflegged walker.
There Is no propelling mechanism about
the toy whatever, simply n 1ointing Of
the legs to the body upon n round hori-
zontal pivot fastened ut the ends, with
another rod underneath this one and
passing through two square holes made
in the legs, as shown in the illustration.
This second rod prevents the walker
from taking too long steps.
The key to this toys pedestrian talent
is simple mechanical principle. Tho
walker rests the weight of his body
upon one Of his legs while he is putting
the other forward. The axis of his
body does not rest upon a vertical
plane, and in order to cause him to
move forward on the inclined support,
it is necessary to give him, in starting
him, very slight shake. sidewise.
This shake, increased by the oscillation
of the balancingpole, causes the walk
or to lean first to the right side, and
then to the left
Suppose that he Is, ut given mo-
ment, inclined to the right. All the

PROPOSING TO ERECT NEW COURTHOUSE.

The erection OF a new building for the Court Of
Sessions on the ground owned by the county Court
Square and Livingston-st. is urged, owing to the
cramped condition Of the quarters now occupied by
the court and the need OF room for other
purposes in the COurt-House. A few years ago the
Court OF Sessions, which is presided over by Judge
Moore, removed from the room then occupied TO
the Supervisors chamber and the Supervisors took the
former courtroom. But the increase of business In Gil
the courts has led to demand for room, and the
Special Term room Of the City Court is being
laEged by the removal OF OF the central stair
cases In point Of fact there is need Of two judges in
the Court OF Sessions and two cOurt-rOoms
