arrest of DR. Swallow and bring him
before the bar of the senate for alleged
contempt in refusing to give informa-
ton respecting the capitol fire, and had
arranged for a special meeting for his
: hearing, but the sergeant-at-arms, in
whose hands Lieutenant Governor Ly-
ons placed the warrant for his arrest
reported that he had failed to find
i his man. Dr. Swallow called on
5 the lieutenant governor however the
same evening and said that he was
I not seeking to avoid arrest, and would
8 be on hand whenever it was found
. desirable. They have deferred his hear
9 ing, however, until the 22d Of the

I DR.. Swallow is now going on, it is
doubtful If they win require him to
leave the court until his trial is over.
