day morning that the municipal court pro-
ceedings wcn!d have dash of spice in their
composition had the natural effect of at
tracing crowded audience. OF course, the
oh ief center of attraction was the Huber
Schoenemann affair, the preliminaries of
which were presented to the GLOBES read
ers in the account of Huber's arrest on Sun
day evening.
The first witness placed upon the stand
was Mrs. Huber. who is woman Of medium
stature, having black hair, but whatever of
beauty She possesses under ordinary circum-
stances was completely marred by a couple
of black eyes. Her husband, the prisoner,
is German of the blonde type, and speaks
Engligh with tolerable fuency, while his
wite's evidence was taken through an inter-
prefer.
After stating her residence and that she
had been married to the prisoner seven
years, but had no children, she said her hus-
band had some beer in the house on Sunday.
Their residence is above a saloon, which is
kept By man named Schumacher, who
came in with her husband and Schoenemann
Shortly after the two first went away leaving
the witness and Schoenemann in tho room.
They were sitting apart, when Schcenemann.
asked her to come and sit near to him. He
asked her to kiss him and put his hand upon
her limb. She cautioned Schoenemann that
her husband was Jealous, and said he had
better quit. On close questioning, she
neither admitted or denied that there had
been any kissing. Her husband came in
Just at that time, and lie must have seen
SchGnemann's hand upon her. Huber
then commenced calling her improper
names, here she glanced wickedly
at the prisoner which she resented as not
applicable to her, and then he commenced
the assault upon her.
just as Mrs. Huber closed her testimony,
Rudolph Schenemann entered the court
room, and when she stepped down from the
witness chair, said he wished to testify.
After being sworn, he said Huber met him
in Schumacherss saloon, and importuned
the witness and the latter to go up stairs.
They had all glass of beer each, when
Schumacher and Huber went down stairs
Huber returned in about five minutes
Meanwhile, Mrs. Huber begged him to have
another glass Of beer, which he refused
Taking it in the light of what happened af-
serward, it looked TO him as if the whole
affair "meant something else.'' Huber came
i'll. He acted SO wildly that witness
thought he was crazy, seeming to act
rs II the whole business was q made up
affair. The witness never touched Mrs
Huber, never touched her, had never been in
the house before, and never meant anything
wrong by his presence in the house.
The court-You did not hear this woman's
testimony
Witness-No.
The court-Hhen you did not kiss her?
Witness-Oh! no.
The court-She says you put your hant
upon her limb.
Witness, rolling his eyes heavenward ana
seaning back in his chair az if in profound
sneditaSion-If did, / had no bad intention
The prisoner was sworn, when he detailed
the fact of his having been in the house
and stated other circumstances tendins
to show that they all had q nict
social time. The witness went into til,
front room, but stopped to watch his wifi,
IND Schoenemann, Schumacher having the1
gone out. Schenemann pulled Mrs. Hube
toward him to kiss her. Then the witness
rushed in, and drove Schoenemann oft O
the house. Mrs Huber called for the police
man, who would say that the witness wa
sober.

when the police came.
Officer Aeneally testified to the facts O.
the arrest and said Huber was sober at tn,
time, but much excited.
The case was then adjourned until Thu
morning, to await the appearance of Schu
1nachef, and at the request Of Schcenemann
