They will remain in custody in the meantime, not being able to furnish bail in any amount, accordins to the statement of their council in the court. The continuance was asked by the Smiths through their attorney to per mit them an apportunity to examine the minutes of the grand jury which indicted them on the conspiracy charge. Abraham Levy, counsel for Nan Patterson, a co-defendant with the Smiths, and who also is awaiting trial for the murder of Caesar Young, asked permission to be heard in the proceedings. He said that he desired to join in the request to inspect the minutes of the grand jury in the con spiracy case in behalf of his client. He requested Assistant District At torney Rand to waive the usual no tice of motion to the district attorney, but this Mr. Rand refused to do. “I don’t know your motives-,” said Mr. Rand. “You may state facts that I may wish to controvert." The court finally gave Mr. Levy one day instead of two in which to notify the district attorney, making the mo tion returnable tomorrow. At.that time the arguments will be made and Miss Patterson will be arraigned on the charge of conspiracy. Rail for the Smiths was fixed at $5,000, but on protest by their counsel Judge Foster said he would take the matter of a reduction in the amount under advisement and would announce his decision later in the day. Before being taken to the Tombs prison Smith made a statement, in which he said: “I am very glad to be back In New York. The name of my family has been besmirched. I have not haul a chance to clear it, but I will. My movements on the day the pistol was bought are very easily traced. I had written them out, naming every per son I had met that day that I knew. The record was in the trunk which was confiscated in Cincinnati and is now in the possession of the district attorney. I am very grateful for the district attorney having it. “I did not buy that revolver, and I defy any one to swear or identify me as the man.” » arriving a few hours too late to see his father alive.
