last Tuesdays hearing the courtroom
was crowded with friends of the detend-
ants. curiosity etc. Before the
proceedings were opened. Hon. j. X.
Roosevelt, secretary Of the United States
Embassy had an interview with Castle
IN an ante-room. Mrs. Castle looked
somewhat pale when she entered the
courtroom, but did not display anything
Ike the nervous agitation which she so
plainly showed at her last appearance IN
court.
one Of the saleswomen employed in the
establishment Of Gustav Ellis. fur dealer,
OF Regent street, was called TO the wit
ness-stand, and testified to- the loss by
her employer on October lst Of a sable
muff, which was subsequently found In
the rooms OF the prisoners at the Hotel
Cecil. Other testimony OF q similar
character was presented.
Mr. Charles Matthews, counsel for the
defence. asked that the defendants be
committed for trial I'm the Central Crimi-
nal Court. Old Bailey. instead Of the or
binary sessions. His grounds for making
this request. he said, were that the
anxiety of the friends OF Mr.. and Mrs.
Castle in san Francisco that they should
receive the benefit OF al available testi-
mony I'm their favor was very great, ana
the commlttal OF the prisoners for trial
I'm the Old Bailey Court would allow them
time 10 come TO England, bringing with
them medical evidence Of the mental r.
responsibility Of Mrs. Castle.
Magistrate Newton said that he was
unable to comply with the request, as
he was acting under directions TO send
all cases OF shop-lfting TO the Sessions.
Mr.. Matthews then said he had no
doubt that he would be able 20 obtain
an adjournment Of the case from the
Clerkcnwell Sessions Court, in order to
enable witnesses from America TO be
present az the trial.
The prisoners pleaded not guilty. and
reserved their line Of defence.

Notes.

PETERSBURG. VA. October 2o.-tspe-
claI)-A very remarkable scene was wit
messed in and around the Harrison-Street
eolored Baptist church last night. 1t had
been announced that the negro women,
Mary Abernathy and Pokey Barnes, OF
notorious fame IN connection with the
Pollard murder in Lunenburg county,
would visit and talk at the church last
night, and I'm consequence great crown
OF negroes-estimated TO be three or -FOUR
thousand I'm number-swarmed In ana
about the church. When the doors Of the
church were opened there was such
mad rush for seats that people were
thrown down and trampled upon, ana
almost a panic ensued. The noise ana
confusion that occurred is said to nave
been indescribable, and this not only IN
side. but outside Of the building.
The two women who were to tell OF
their experiences and take up COLLECTION
did not present themselves. They sought
refuge from the wild crowd IN an ada
cent cook-shop. where they were protect
ed by the police. The lights in the church
were shut off, and the congregation us
persed. -

ARMENIANs AT NEW YORK.
Only a. Few of Them Admitted
salvation Army Aid.

NEW YORK, October 20.-The Board OF
Inquiry. at Ellis Island, to-day finished
the examination OF the l67 Armenians
who arrived on the OLDHAM Saturday. IN
all. they have admitted four, who have
friends or money, postponed decisions on
about fifteen, who asserted that they had
friends and were given time TO produce
them, and rejected the rest. one thing
was covered with mystery, and was con-
stantly commented on by the members Of
The board-the peculiar fact that in almost
every case the immigrant had just about
s.. Each man asserted that he had paid
his passage, and almost all said they
had not been h9lped by any one.
The head of the board, Colonel Ellis
believes that the Turkish atrocities have
had nothing TO do with the coming Of
these Armenians, but that they are or
binary refugees, using the massacres as
an explanation. Colonel Holland, of the
Salvation Army, on the other hand, says
they were all fleeing from the massacres
and We're taken in by the Consuls and
sent on any vessel at hand. and were
afterwards collected by Miss Frances VIII
lard and Lady Somerset at Marseilles.
The aid OF the English branch of the
Army was then asked and obtained 10
the extent Of promising TO take care o.
them here.
The position OF the Board of Inquiry IS
that II must follow the law, and pay no
attention to the offers Of any organlza-
ton. unless these offers are put into legal
form. I'm the shape OF bonds.
An Armenian minister appeared at the
island this afternoon. prepared 10 take
the responsibility for several who had
been his pupils, and doubtless a number
of others VIII be released without the
necessity Of an appeal TO the Secretary Of
the Treasury.
Colonel Holland said an appeal would
be made by the Salvation Army in behalf
OF all the rejected immigrants, and any
necessary security given. as the Army
