BODDY'S PLEA POSTPONED

Boldly did not plead when he appeal
ed ut 10 o'clock in the morning before
Justice Wasservogel in the Criminal
Term OF the Supreme Court, because
his counsel Mr.. Koenig was not yet
ready with a basic theory for the case.
He asked for an adjournment OF ten
days to give thorough study to the
case. --.....
This is not case for revengefuI
justice" Mr.. Koenig said to the court"
but Tor cool, calm procedure. have no
desire to impede or injure the intense
desire Of the State to move for as
speedy a trial as possible but in the
matter Of justice speed Is not the main
essential. A real opportunity should
begiven for tho orderly procedure OF
Justice" ...
There is no desire by this court ia
rush this case to trial." Justice WaSser
yogel replied. II am going to give
every opportunity possible to the de.
PENDANT as-he is entitled to that by
law"
The justice directed Mr.. Koenig t.
enter n plea and to produce Boldly Mt

to amend the plea. Mr.. Koenig objected
to pleading at once and drew from Dis
trict Attorney Banton, who Is conduct
ing in person the prosecution Of the
Negro, the retort
II know Of no hysteria on the part
OF the District Attorney. All we want
is trial as early rs possible"
Mr.. Koenig replied:
assure the District Attorney that
there is 10 desire to interfere with a
speedy trial, but do want time to find
out, among other things, what tho i'm.
peling motive was for the crime"

Mr.. Koenig the services Of whatever

CROWDS SEE PRISONER

Justice Wasservogel then postponed
pleading until p. M. today and the
prisoner was taken back to the Tombn.
A large crowd glimpsed Boldly com
ing and going. In the jam were two
brothers of one Of the men that Boldly
killed, Buckley. They had tried to get
into tire courtroom, but the crowd was
too great. In the court room his wife's
Cora, and his sister, Mrs. Lohise Rich.

smiled and ut first they smiled back.
Then both began to weep and contin.
ued to sob steadily during tho proceed
ings. Boldly seemed little movon,
scarcely touched by the gravity Of his
position.
Already it has been demonstrated
that he was lying when he said he had
attended Dc Witt Clinton High School
for two years. Francis Paul, the prin.
cipal. said:
~, have examined the records thor.
ougply and no such person ever ate nj

improbable, that Boldly might have
been here under some other name.
Moreover we took the trouble to ques.

ALLIENISTS GO TO SEE BOLDLY

Earlier in the day an alienist employ
cd by Mr.. Koenig DR.. Richard II. Hoff
man Of 1867 Madison avenue had queS
toned him, but not for long enough to
makes any definite report as to the
state of his mentality, While Dr. Hoff
man was busy two alienists employed
by the District Attorney, DR.. M. S.
Gregory, superintendent OF Bellevue
Hospital and DR.. Edward e. Hicks o,
the Kings County Hospital In Brook
Ign, appeared in the Tombs to question
tile prisoner. His counsel Mr.. Koenig
objected. however as the defense had a
right to do and the alienists for tho
prosecution withdrew.
The impression remains that, HMr
Koenig will base his main defense on
a theory OF insanity. Running through
his brief address to tho court yesterday
was hint that time would be needed
to examine many witnesses and to
many it seemed suggestion that par
tfcular inquiry would be made into tho
harsh treatment Boldly says he rece'v-
ed many times after being arrested by
the police.
