THE CHILD PLACED IN CHARGE OF MR. GATCHELL. Saturday afternoon the child acrobat, Zaulo Poole (who has been performing at the Theater Comique, and for whom a writ | Of habeas corpus was issnéd on the petition | ot Mr. T. F. Gatehell,as stated in THE STAR | of Baturday,) was produced before Judge | Wylie. Messrs. B. H. Webb and 8. C. Milis | appeared for petitioner and Mr. A. K. Brown for respondents. | Mr. Webb opened the ease, claiming that the boy was not only ill-treated but was in | danger of life or limb in the performances. | Mr. Brown characterized it as a monstrous | Proposition, te take the child away from the blood Kin and turn bim over to a stranger. | THE TESTIMONY. | | Mr. Gatehell testified to having witnessed the performance and seeing the boy fail in attempting adouble somersault and strike his stomach on bis reputed brother’s head, | Sod that the ill-treatment of the child caused some of the audience to ery out “shame.” Mr. Marr corroborated Mr. Gatehell. The two Poole brothers, also W. D. Mack and Mr. Hunter testified as to the prec tions taken to prevent accident. and to ne: having heard complaint from the boy. DECISION OF THE COURT. Judge Wylie announced bis decision, re- Tmarking that the occupation to which this child seems to have been consigned he re- ga.ded physically and morally injurious. In all sueh eases the chaneery jurisdiction of the court should be brought to bear in the public interest and the Interest of the child, Who was unable, on account of his tender years, to think for bimself. These brothers are exhibiting this child for money, for tneir own personal gain, and the tie of reiation- ship under the circunistances, does not merit tender consideration from the court. Even if the father of the ebild, the natural svardian, were present, instead of the bro- thers as in this instance, the court would, in the plentitade of its chancery jurisdiction, step in to save the child from’ the fatier. was @ shameful spectacle to witness, the placing of so young and bright a boy by his own brothers in a position and occupation which eculd not be bat demoralizing. He thought that Mr. Gatehel deserved credit for bisaction, and while he would require bim to give bond for the care, maintena.ce, and education of the boy Zaulo. still he thought the ebild wopld be better off in Mr. Gatchel’s custody than that of his brothers. The order of the court, therefore, was tbat the marshal uid deliver the child into the custody of Mr. Gatchel. AN AFFFCTING SCENF. When the decision was announead the child burst into a fit of weeping, and the pole brothers also were much affected. anlo ard Thomas Poole clasped each other, Ww r of the brothers would accept his bospitali- ties. Thomas Poole accepted this inyitat!nn. a With the child proceeded with Mr. Gatchell to the latter's residence, corner of Columbia and there but one nigbt, however, as early terday they were found to have departed Mr. Gatcnell states that he has evidence that THF CHILD IS NOT A BROTHER OF THE MAN, but that they pay for him $1 g «teiphia. Mr. Gatebell also states that the boy at times shows a little lameness in one ot his legs, which he thinks has been cansed by the strain on the little fellow's Ln Bisurewe while being thrown by the foot in pe formances. The Baltimore authorities were notified of the abduction of the child, and to-day by telegram the police were notified by Mar- shal Grey that the Poole Brothers were in custody. An answer was returned, asking that they be held until an officer could be dispatched with the proper papers.

Leighton, and Lena Miller are indicted for conspiracy, offering or procur- ing false bail to be given (for Snyder, the al- eged Perry burglar), and also as accessaries | after tbe fact. was called up—Mr. W. A. Cook, for the defence, making @ motion that the cases be set for t The court, after some discussion by coun- sel. said that there were three indictments; that for procuring false bail being for a fel- ony under the statute, and he would suggest that that indictment be first tried. He thought that there should have been no dif- fieulty or any occasion for some of the mo- tions which bad been made in these cases— the District attorney might have stated hich indictments hé would call up first, d would have no further motions in refer- ence to these case: District Attorney Wells said that be pro- posed to call the case of Green first and “isher next. Mr. Cook’ said that in the latter part of next week he would be able to take up the cases of Evans and Leighton, but would not be able to take up the ease of Green at that time. If the Green case is to be set down as the first case to be tried. he would be under the necessity of showing by affidavit reasons for continuance, and would do so in a few days. The cases then went over. ° NATIONAL THEATER.—The simple an- ineement that John Owens will bold the boards of the National this week is suf- Heient to attract crowded houses.

Miss Cook left the residence of her mother, corner of the avenue and North street, shori- ly after six o'clock, in company with a little colored girl named Ida Peterson, ostensibly to take a walk.
