opinion that he is not guilty Of murder

Gould this morning refused 10 set the
eN-polieeman at liberty.
The judge, I'm overruling the motion
OF Attorney Henry F. Wcodard. fur
Their declared that the plea of IN health
was not made and that he saw no ex-
igency which would demand the release
Of Collier.
The action OF Justice Gould preciudes
any further attempt to get bail for
Collier, and ne must remain IN Jail until
his case is called during the fan term
Of court.
Collier was indicted for murder in the
hrst degree, charged with the killing
of Captain Mathews IN the Fifth pre-
cinct station on March s. Last week
his attorneys argued a similar motion
for his release before Justice Wright,
who dismissed the motion without pref
