Mr. Reed and Mr. Van Arman retired to a quiet corner of the oflice, where they beld a whispered consulta tlon for a few moments, and then reparated. A TmnuNg reporter stepped up to Mr. Reed and asked, ** Aro you poing to try this case again, or willyou nolle prow, i3 B S WE SILALL TRY IT AGAIN.Y 4 Whent 3 ¢ At the next term of Court.

While the Tormality of nrflmrlnr the bond was going oy, Sullivan was congratulated Ly a Inr*l! number of hin friends. The ladiea who were In attendance gathered around him and manifested thefe delight nt the turn of events by cordially #haking his hand. He was indeed the fiero of the hour, "WIith the exception of the personal frivnds who ' remained to xee the lnst, the crowd slowly filed ont of tha room, and the Crier ln a rather thin :;’flclls announced thal the conrt hnd sdjourned for e day, lmm’cdlnlulyn"cr"m nl;znlu’ of the bonds, Sul- Ilvan, escorted by Mr, Muran, Teft the conrt-room and procecded down-stalrs ta the frunt entranca of the biitding, through which they passed out into the street, and thence by thie alley to the Jall, where Sulllvan remained n few minutes in gatherinz np the few tollet articles with which his cell had been orasmented, e then put on hiis avereoat and departed for his ress tdence, No. 478 Ouk street, A crowd of people congrepnted §n frout of the butlding to take a Jook at him as lie_cmerged, bnt his departure was so quiut that very few saw him, The crowd lingered s little while, and then slowly dispersed. PUBLIC SENTIMENT, THE JUDOL'S COURSR CONDEMNED, The rullngs of Judge McAllister and the re- sultof the Sullivan trinl have enused s great deal of feeling both agalust the homletde and the Court. Yesterdny the general dlsgust was apparent both on the street and In the count~ fng-room, that no one, unlese he were deat, dumb, and blind, and without humon feeling, could have nvolded noticlug it. Lawyers, es- peclally, seccmed {ndignant. “ Why, for the life of me," sald o prominent attorney to a TRIBUNE reporter, * I can’t see how MeAllister can act so. He s an honest man, a capable lawyer, and I caunot, for the life of me, scehow ho can go dellberately rule sgafost all common law, and, {f not that, at Jeast sgzuinst the iuterests of all protectlon of public law and morals.

Aud then there Is Leonard Swett. 1 have nothing to say against him, but he should not assoclate him- stlf with O’Bricn in the defense of a eriminal. Hwett s too good a man _for that. Tho trouble 18 this, in my opinion, Ican't ace how Swett could have presented such mr aMdavit as he did a few days nfin, declas all the other Judges projudiced sgainst Sulllvan, That s all wrong—[ mean tho system of & _criminal seleeting ha Judgo out of the clght Judges in Cook Cuounty. n iy opinlon, every other Judge fn Cook County would have ruléd fairer than MeAllister, [ hinve no reason fn which to account for his pecullar sction In this ¢, but n criminal should not have a right to oose the Judres who shall try himn, as {n this case, and the law should ba changed sutliclently to protect the publie.” BEVERAL OTHEIR LAWYERR well known to tho profession expressed the samo opinfon in substance us {s nbove given, and one especlally sald that “1t s s di e to our judiciury to rulo as Judge McAllister has done,” er fald that the entlre proceed- Another law inzs of Judge MeAlllster during the wlole triai wore partisan, one-sfded, and disgroceful, ‘*IIe has made some of the most glarlng and ecrious mistakes,” sald the gentleman, - * which cannot help but hurt him.

Anybody with common scnso con see that thero Is no justice In the way Judge MoAlllster has conducted himuelf, which shiows that ho Is not fit tohold his position, and it would be more honorable for him to resign, To has forgotten the tima when the Irish mob waited for him In the dark, but money has donc §t all. And aa for Billy 0'Birlen, he will dio like n dog In tho guttor, Na gentloman would canduct himself and oxpress him- self inthe wpy he has done.
