contempt of court At the request OF his
counsel, who claimed that his client de-
sired full investigation, having done no
wrong, the case was adjourned and the
bail fixed at $1,000 The judge said this
was a larger amount than usual, but the
charge made was grave one. Among the

deputy sheriff, and so intoxicated that any
one would notice it. He spoke about the
case and said one man had sold himself
for five hundred dollars that Stokes's
brother told him he got man to do what
he wanted for $500. Some one asked him
what would be done with Stokes, and he
replied, "lIang him, in a pigs eye" The
officer told him he had better shut up.
He talked to II great many people about
the case, and said he had been riding in q
carriage with Stokcs's brother. He came a
second night with the officer and four or
| five friends. He said he had been to Co.
burns and was going back there. Homer
Lane was with him. Witness noticed that
he was very drunk, and heard from others
that he had great deal to say about the
case. The officer, John W. Hunt, states
that Center asked him to allow him to go
and attend to his business. He told him he
should get permission from the judge
