When tho Booker casa VA cailed IA 4ha
Police Cour1 yesterday moTning Cora-
mqnWealt1s t1s-AttoRnoy smith arose and
asked that It be continued until O'clock
IN the afternoon. This, be eaid. was AZ fhe
request OF tho defence, who had not had
sunicient time to look into the case, The
nIst warrant had not been served until
night. and the other three after NF. Booker
WAS taken 70 the station.housc. This WSs
agreeable To call parties.
Mr.. Smith then asked that Mr.. Booker
be lsnanded 70 the custody OF Captain
huice Until tho afternoon instead Of
being committed. Justice CrutchhoId
hrst objected TO this a. informal. but
subsequently agreed TO IL, as It wsc
stated that the prisoners health was By
no means good.
Captain Huice, Mr.. Booker. Msior
Richardson. and Judge Marshall re-
entered the hack in which they had been
dr1ycn to tho courtroom aud returned to
the station-house.
LIKE A FATHER.
One Of the touching incidents In con-
nection with the case has been the tender
solicitude exhibited by Major B. W. Rich
erdson. an uncle Of the accused. He was
IN conversation with his nephew Wednes-
day night Mt his residence whom the arrest
was made and accompanied him on foot to
the station-house.
Yesterday morning and afternoon be
went to tho station-hon after Mr.. Booker
with carriage and accompanied him to
the jail. When the party came up the
steps with the venerable gray haired. grief
stricken old man in the rear, it was q sad
sight and one which even the most bard
hearted would not care to witness second
time.
ANOTHER Lrs PKNDESA
In the HeDrico County Court yesterday
as pe,lllens was placed on the two pieces
Of property in each Of the suits similar to
those recorded in the Chancery Court the
preceding day.
THE LINE OF DxFKSCE.
just what line of defence will be pur-
sued IS not yet known.
Judge Marshall was seen at his home last
night by DisparcH reporter and ques-
toned as to what course would be adopt
ed, but he was not inclined to discuss the
matter. He said that while he would be
glad to accommodate the newspaper man,
he felt that it was best for him not to give
any such statements yet, as he thought
they would possibly be detrimental to the
interests of his client.
IL has been suggested that it may be
claimed that Mr.. Booker was unfortunate
IN some of the investments made for his
late wards. These, the theory is, did not
turn out as had been hoped for, but re-
suited in losses. Az the guardian Of those
interested Mr.. Booker was probably au-
thorized by law to invest the personal pro-
perty of the estate In what seemed to him
proper and safe channels.
MAY APPLY FOR BAIL.
II is thought that application for bail
will be made to-day either to Judge Witt
or Judge Wexford. In fact. IL was rumored
last night that papers had been prepared
on which writ of hdteds corpus would be
asked. At midnight Judge Witt told q
DIsPATcH reporter that the matter had not
been brought to his attention, and Judge
Wexford was too unwell TO attend to such
business.
