Betore Judge Cardozo. in the Matter of the Habeas Corpus Proceeding in Behay of Anna E. Pearsall ana Joanna 0’Connor.— ‘Phe adjourned bearing in this extraordinary case, extraordinary both in its commencement and con- ¢lusion, took place yesterday morning. Tho two petitioners, ic will be remembered, were atrested by Judge Cardozo about two wane since for alleged contempt of Court, in that aided the flight oftheir sister Julia Pearsall, a! MoGraw, from the jurisdiction of the Court, taking her child with her, the child being at the time the subject of litigution by its father, who desired to havé custody of it, The petitioners in this proeeed- ing are women of ill repute, and their sister lived with them for a time after obtaining @ divorce from her husband; and a second charge against them, in addition to the conteinpt, is that they were keepers of a bawdy house. The court room was crowded to excess, the peti- tioners occupying seats in one corner, somewhat shielded from the vulgar, gaping gaze of the throng. Edwin M. Stoughton and another lawyer, together with the District Attorney, appeared as the “friends of the court,” and Mr. J. Townsend appéared sing & bad the prisoners, both of whom were ele- 8 sans ore Fabb opened the proceedings by ask- fog the werminaion. the ‘Court to sa! : few words in regard to card rar ween Court was tee sloay re te nid tg ines 9 cus| of the o D r) yas one of the counsel for Mra. rm ae Pex ; the decision of that matter the motnér left eee eee the child wita ber.

Mr, Townsend then rose and said that as Soseee an improper our, nor hinted at such. The women were not guilty of the contempt, and hé then ton them that if that statement was untrue he would ‘be the first to withdraw from the case, He trusted that the Court would look upon him in this case as an officer of the eourt endeavoring to discharge the @uty of every lawyer towards his client, It was never intended to throw any suspicion on the mo- tive which induced this court to take the action it had done, and, as their counsel, he had simply pated eae, chene, women should not be kt pt longer than was necessary, upon eharge of which they said they were not ety. er statements oitier than these which his Hones had heard were érroneous.
