Trial OF Frank Bauer, the Alleged
Enffla ThfcE

NAA&16 AAAC1e
The case Of the man Frank Bauer, from whom
the twenty odd head Of supposed. to-be stolen
cattle were taken some weeks since, came up
before the Superior Court On Saturday, Pros
e:uting Attorney Haven appearing for the peo.
pie, and Messrs. Z. L. jerks aud G. ". I. Cone
for the defendant 3,
The case under consideration was founded on
an indictment for larceny found by the Grand
Jury, two more Of which remain to be tried
after this shall have been disposed Of It is as
serted on the part Of the prosecution that q
black COW, the property Of Daniel Richards Of
this city, was found in the possession Of the
defendant, and claimed as his Own. The de-
fense, on the other hand, endeavor to show
conspiracy on the part Of certain detective Off
GERS to send their client to the State prison on
trumped-up cage Of larceny.
There is no doubt of the fact that there are
persons within or outside Of the city, ,who de-
pend upon the business Of cattle-stes|ing for
subsistence, as the numerous losses Of this kind
Of property by our citizens abundantly testify.
Should this man Bauer prove to be one Of this
gang. great benefit will certainly be conferred
upon our people by his conviction aud proper
punishment. Should all Of the three indict-
ments found against him prove fallacious, no
harm will hare been done to the man; and his
character will stand well before the world. Not
wishing to do what the attorneys for the de-
fepse in this case intimated on Saturday, viz:
"preiudice the casa, aud conspire with the
members Of the police for the persecution Of
their Client" we await further developments.
