Closely shorn.
At the opening of the Criminal Court yes
terday morning, which happened to be promptly
on the hour, tho audience was smaller In point Of
numbers than has been noticed In the chamber
for some DAYS past. 1t being the continuation Of
the trial OF WIN. II. Ottman, many persons
thought that the slim attendance denoted that
tho interest in the robbery and trial OF tho ac-
cused parties was decreasing. A short survey OF
the scene demonstrated that there was another
cause for tho slim assemslage within the cham.
Der. TWAS found that bailifIs were stationed at
every entrance, and had received very strict
orders as to who should be- entitled to tho privi-
lcyes Of the room.
with but few exceptions none were allowed
inside other than attorneys and witnesses. the
counsel on both sides were In attendance early,
and Mr.. Ottman arrived rev minutes pehind
them. As the crier was making his customary
announcement of"hear ye," MRS. ottman, accom-
panied by her daughter, young lady that bids
fair to become very handsome woman, and her
little son, came into the courtroom and occupied
seats beside the husband AND iather. Inc trial
was resumed and the following witnesses called
and examined Mr.. J. u Nlllette, OF ". II mf'
