Show Held to Batx, The case of Lang-ley, Lang-ley, charged with iocepd'iari-m aod threatening to bum the city, einie ui again for investigation yesterday and occupied most of the day. The evidence evi-dence for the prosecution showed clearly enough that he had threatened to burn the town, and one witneBa swore to seeing the defendant, on the night on which Colonel Winder's property prop-erty was burned, with a small oil can in his hand going toward the Winder property ; while Colonel Winder testified testi-fied that some of the timbers in bis building burned in a manner which indicated in-dicated that Eome very inflammable substance had been applied to them, so fierce and rapid waa tho spread of tho flames. The witnesses for the defense went to prove an alibi, bat were not successful to the satisfaction of the court, and Langley was held in $5,000 bonds to appear before the first regular term of the probate court. General Maxwell, Max-well, of counsel for the prisoner, intimating in-timating that bail would not be given, was very anxious for Langley's mittimus mitti-mus to be made out immediately that our Hawley'B services might be called into requisition in the habeas co put line. It is well known that our Haw-ley Haw-ley has no faith in any court lower than a district court presided over by an associate justice of the supreme court of the United States for the Territory, etc, and so Langley's release re-lease is simply a questioo of hours. |
