ing himself to answer the indictments
against him. O'Malley was accom-
panied by his attorney, Lionel Adams,
and by James Barry, well-known
local politician. When the first sur
prise was over Mr.. Adams addressed
the court and said his client desired to
give bond for his appearance to answer
the charge against him. There were
three indictments against O'Malley
lone for abetting the attempted bri.
berry Of talesmen in the Hennessy case,
another for perjury charged in the. in.
dictment to have been committed in
1882, and the third for perjury, also al
legged to have been committed in 1882.
Judge Mari fixed the bond in each
case at $4,000. the required bail was
furnished and O'Malley was released
from custody. During the proceedings
the long looked-for detective was prob
ably the coolest man in the courtroom.
He was carefully dressed. and If he waa
evidences of it.
There was much discussion during
the day as to the steps that would be
taken by the committee of safety now
that O'Malley had disobeyed It's man
date and returned to the city. 1t is
probable that there will be no fur
ther action taken against the detective,
and that he will be allowed to ana
swer to the law for the crimes charged
against him. This view is taken by the
afternoon States, against which
O'Malley has pending SIC, 900 damage
suit for SANDER. The States says:
'However just the resentment OF the people
may have been against this man-and we be-
heve 1t was entirely just-he is now In the hands
Of the law and he must be accorded . fair trial:
not hair Of his head must be touched save by
the hand Of the law. The States has certainly
good reasons for entertaining strong feelings
OF resentment toward O'Malley, but the
righteous vengeance OF the people was finished
on the l4th Of March; the rule Of the mob Is at
An end; the laws have resumed their course
and we now demand for this person, as We de:
smanded 1t for him even on the day Of the
tragedy, full, free and fair hearing and trial
In the courts Of the land"
O'Malley said Friday evening that
when he got ready to give his story to
the public it would cause number OF
people now joining in the cry against
him to hide behind their doors. As to
the parish prison affair he said:
''Those men were innocent and the people
made big mistake, for which hope they will
properly apologize to the widows and orphans
hereafter. Each one Of the nineteen MEN made
Q statement to me, which Investigated and re-
ported upon. I found that all Of them told the
truth with one exception. Polietz. All this
talk about suborning witnesses and bribing
jurors ia untrue. You heard the witnesses and,
30 help me God, never approached any Of
them with reference to what testimony they
were to give. The closest the grand jury has
got to me Is to tndict me upon matters that
happened eight years ago."
