He was made to come down. and he shuffied

would entertain a charge OF attempted burglary
against Garvin; That pleased Mr.. Aston. and
he said he would do so.
During his conversation with Justice Hogan

body in the court room had cIaned their necks

Mr.. AstOr's annoyance.
Garvin will not be in the Jefferson Market
prison when Mr.. Aston comes to appear against
him this morning, for a lawyer who had been
retained by a newspaper paid the mans fine at II
late hour yesterday afternoon and Garvin was
released.
one OF the court clerks said that Mr.. Aston
had informed him that he had discharged a
number of his servants for leaving the house
