McGoldrick, Joseph Richie and Richard Mclaughlin,
who were arrested on the charge OF being impli-
Gated with Henry Rogers in the murder of Police
man Donahue, In the Eastern District, on the 9TH

with several others, were accessory before and
after the fact. Mr.. PearsaIs application was based
on the affidavits OF his clients. McGodricks sets
forth that he was not present ut the time OF the

why they were wanted was, so that they might be
used as witnesses against Rogers. who Is held as

William Holman claims to be partner of his
brother Diedrich In the Holman House, at Broad
way and Kossuth street, f.. D. Tie says that he put
his money In the concern, but that his brother
fuses to allow him to have say In the business or
any Of the profits. Therefore he has obtained a

for an Injunction against William to
prevent him from interfering, and asked
that the other Injunction he dissolved. Diedrich
denies that his brother is partner In the house,
and declares that he loaned him Wam) 81, 400 TO
