DILL0WAY's QUEER CHECK.

Constable Godfrey Dilloway was arraigned
before Justice Potts this morning to explain
his connection with the worthless check for
$40, which he gave Henry Lutzen, a
Washington street grocer, in payment of a
bill of goods. He declared that the check
was given him by a man named Pearce in
payment for a boat. Through his counsel.
james Manning, he represented that he had
offered Lutzen the amount of the check on
two occasions, but that the latter had re
fused to accept. Mr.. Lutzen refused the
money because it was not offered to him I'M
til he had caused a warrant to be issued. In
view of the fact that Dilloway agreed to pay
Lutzen the amount of the check, Justice
Potts paroled him.

upon nine-year-old Ida Meisner of No. go

mother sent her to Donnally's grocery store,
which is at Wayne and Merseles streets, to
make some purchases. The girl alleges that
Donnelly induced her to enter a rear room.

formed her mother of what had happened.
An hour later the occurrence became known

house he found a crowd Of nearly one hun
dred people yelling and Kissing, with an oc-
casionai crv of Lynch him." i~nterspersed.
He made an effort to disparse the crowd but
without avail. Entering Donnelly's house
he found the old mar crouching in a corner
shivering with fear. He begged not to be
taken out, as he knew he would be killed.
McGinness assured him hat he would not
be harmed. Drawing his revolver, the de-
tective declared he would shoot any one who
laid a hand upon or in any way molested his
prisoner. This warning had a tendency to
make a number of young men in the crowd
get out of the way. The men and women,
however, followed the detective and prison
er, kissing and splitting upon him. until he
had boarded q Montgomery street car.
Donnelly was represented in court this
morning by Counsellor Traphagen. The

JAIL DELIVERY AHEAD.
Annie kampf Liberated Oceans
.gud1e Hoffman Was Hung Up.

Budge Holman was Hung Up.
The case of Annie Kampf was again be-
fore the Court of Chancery yesterday. 1t
will be remembered that the girl was ar
rested on the steamship Fuerst Bismarck
three months ago by Detective Nelson, who
charged her with picking the pocket of a
woman. The girl was tried in the Special
Sessions before Judges Hudspeth and Kenny
and convicted. She was sentenced to two
and one half years at State Prison. Coun-
sellor Warren Dixon became interested in
the case and obtained a writ of error. which
was served on the Sheriff at Trenton when
he was about to place the girl in prison.
Sheriff Toffev Immediately brought Annie
back to the County Jail. Counsellor Dixon
next obtained a writ of habeas corpus from
Vice Chancellor Pitney, and this was argued
Yesterday. 1t was claimed that the convic-
ton was illegal because only two judges
were on the bench at the trial, and the law
requires that the court shall consist of three
Judges. At the time the re-appoinJment of
Judge Hoffman had not been confirmed by
the Senate.
Vice Chancellor Pitney agreed with Coun-
sellor Dixon and granted an order for
Annie's discharge. The lawyer took the
order to Sheriff Toffey. who at once re-
leased the girl from jail.
District Attorney Winfield had anticipated
this result, and had given Detective Keenan,
a warrant for the rearrest of Annie as soon
as she was released.
When given her liberty, Annie and Coun-
sellor DIXON left the Jail and walked toward
the Hoboken Elevated Railroad. They had
not gone a block before Detective Keenan,
rearrested her and took her back to Jail.
This morning Justice Macs held her for the
Grand Jury.
Counsellor Dixon says he will apply for
another writ of habeas corpus Immediately.
He says further that every person sentenced
to imprisonment in the Special Sessions, dur
ing the time Judge Hoffman was not a
Judge, may obtain freedom by writ OF
hdbeuS corpus.
