Edward Man jeremiah s. Levy was
the only one OF the principals in his
trial for alleged bribery to put in an APP
pearance at Part l. of the Court of Gen
eral Sessions at Ii this morning, the
hour to which the trial had been ad-
journed. And he came under escort OF
Deputy Sheriff Brown from the Tombs,
where he had lodged all night in the
gay uniform of a mounted policeman,
under commitment by Judge MARITIME.
With certainty that an hour OF the
Courts time would be taken up with
the pleading OF the wretches indicted
for minor vulgar crimes, the prosecutor,
Assistant District-Attorney Osborne, and
the counsel for the defense. Abraham
Levy. OF the Pulitzer Building, came
to court at their leisure.
Indeed. the District ttorney's office
was entirely unrepresented during the
preliminary proceedings, till Judge
Marines patience gave out, and he sent
caustic message to Acting District
Attorney Weeks.
There were only five jurors in the box
when court adjourned last evening. and

tine for Defendant Levys liberty, but.
although ErastusWiman was permitted
MS freedom TIL the jury rendered its
verdict, the Jaunty officer from the
mounted squad had to go to the Tombs

panied in his flights from Mr. Weeks s

Summer gown.
