Comfy Jail to bring Mulrain into court," !"
said the Court in q loud and angry tone of
voice.
"Constable Wise is over there now,"
one of the constables replied.
''Let another officer be SENT" said the
Judge, land have Mulrain brought into
Court at once.
After a wait of about ten minutes Null
rain and Durancey were brought in, and

the Court. Mr.. Sheriff, you will take
these prisoners to the State Prison. On

lied the papers and then handed copy
to the Prosecutor who was idle drum
ming on desk.
"The Sheriff will proceed at once to
States Prison said Judge .Lippincott,
and the Sheriff did not dare disobey.

THE GREAT FAILURE.
The following is an exact copy of the
paper that was served on the Sheriff.
Witness. the President of u S. Of America to
John ]. McPhilipps, Sheriff of Hudson county,
greeting:-
You are hereby cited and admonished to be
and appear at a Supreme Court of the United
States to be holden at Washington, D. c., on the
first day of August 1892, pursuant to an appeal
filed in the Clerks Office at the Circuit Court for
the District of New Jersey. wherein
James Hart - is appellant and you are re-
spondent to show cause if any there be, why
the judgment rendered against the said appel
ant, as In said appeal mentioned. should not be
corrected and why speedy justice should not be
done to the parties in that behalf
Witness the Honorable EDWARD s. GREEN.
The Court turned the paper over TO the
Prosecutor, and the Prosecutor smiled
significantly.
In conversation with a reporter for THE
NEWS, Prosecutor Winfield said he be-
lieved that the seven men had been hid
in the County Jail since Wednesday
night This would explain Mulrain's
disappearance. and perhaps Jailer Davis
was perpetrating cruel joke on the
genial County Superintendent.
It was learned later that affidavits had
bean sworn to the effect that Hart,
Moscheli and Fallon were in the County
Jail yesterday. This affidavit was placed
in the hands of Peshall In order to sub
stantlate q plea he made before Judge
Green at Trenton yesterday.
