Yesterday, it being apparent from
the illness Of Judge PAUL that the pro-
ceedings contemplated, in the nature
of writ of habeas corpus, could not be
determined for an indefinite period,
and the Court having Overruled the
motion to quash the attachment and
order of arrest on the face of the pa
pers, Mr. Elwood Hughes, about noon,
by advice of counsel, gave bond in the
sum of $4,000, the face of the note in
question, with Henry Schmulbach,
Myron Hubbard, F. J. Parke and A. M.
Hamilton as sureties, and was released
from jail After these proceedings
were had, it was learned that Judge
Hervey would be in the city Thursday,
but that would have necessitated MT.
Hughes remaining in Jail for two days
longer. and the fact would probably
have not changed the course OF pro-
cedure, as he was anxious to get away.

HE LAUGHED TO THE LAST.
A Red Cross Nurses Story Of Sol
der with q Smile ON His
Dead Face.

Some one has said that trained
nurses grow hardened to their work,
but the sudden gush of tears which
now and then blinds nurse in the hos
pital wards at Montauk would prove
the contrary. Especially hard upon
these nurses are the night experiences,
when life GIBBS low and the strain of
silence and darkness is over them.
Said one soft-eyed night nurse:
"Oh, if you could have seen my first
patient! He was a lovely boy of 10,
from somewhere out on the Mexican
border. In the four days in which he
was under my charge / grew very at
tached to him, but suddenly. when l
was perfectly sure he would soon get
well, violent change came and in
spite of every care he died. My heart
failed me completely, but there was
no time for weakness. Too many
cases were needing attention.
Il was put in another ward tenn
porarily and took especial charge Of
one very peculiar patient. He lay
stolidly staring at me without par
ticle of expression in his eye, and by
