Excited State of Feeling in LitchGeld---yhe
Ease Called Yesterday and some Interest
ins Facts Relating Thereto.
PARTIES arriving in the city last evening from
L,tohfield, brought the information that the
case OF he State against Annie Hollingsworth,
indicted for deadly assault upon the person of
her psramour john Eshiornson some time last
July, was called un for trial yesterday after
noon. The case has excited intense interest in
the community. and very wide difference CT
case is observable.
THAT FAMILY FTAcAs
As above stated the shooting occurred last
July and was participated in by Annie, her sis
ter and mother. and towards the close of the
affair by the old man himself, who arrived
Just IN the nick Of time to decorate
both optics OF the unfortunate swain in 8.
lasting garb of eombre hue. BY good fortune,
Esbjornsou escaped ont Of tho laws
OF impending dissolution as it
serious than slight pistol shot wound in the
leg. In due time, the whole batch we're indict.
Cd for the serious oftense of assaul. with intent
to kill--tbe charges against the others being for
simple assault.
| ANNE S SIDE OF THE CAsE
IN lustIhcation OF her action in the premises,
Miss Hollingsworth alleged that Esbjorsson had.
under promise of marriage, BETRAYED her and
ifst added insult to injury. by procuring an alb
oit,on upon her III Milwaukee and then discard
ing her, leaving her penniless among strangers.
| MILWAUKEE TAXES HAND
shortly alter the shooting, Miss Holdings
worth's allegation received at least Quasi con
flrmation in the action of the prosecuting at
torncy OF Milwaukee. who it appears, after in.
4 shutting an investigation of the affair caused
On Indictment TO be found against Esbiornson
and one DR.. Macdonald on the charge of pro
drcing abortion upon the person of
the lady. Both the accused were thererpor,
arrested, and, after a preliminary investigation,
last week, before j Judge Mallory of that city,
/ both We're held to bail in large sums to appear
and answer the charge, and it has since been
ascertained that the trial has been set for the
first Tuesday in February.
THE LEGAL CONTESTANTS,
In the meantime, Annie, who of course had
to go to Milwaukee as a witness in the case
/ there, he's returned to Litchfeld to stand her
own trial which was called yesterday afternoon.
| Her attornies, Messrs. Ed. a. Campbell and T..
G. spooner, Of Litchfeld, are fully prepared to
make most vigorous and determined fight In
/ her behalf, while the prosecution will be con-

4 LITCHFIELD EXCITED.
Some idea of the excited state Of feeling ex-
listing in Litchheld in this matter may be
4 CLEANED from the statement that the defendant 8
friends are strongly prejudiced against the
1 sheriff, who is a countryDa of the principal
prosecuting witness, and that the first move of
her counsel in the case will be an application
4 to the Court, Judge Brown TO set
aside that officer from further connection
Herewith, and to appoint in his stead what il
technically known In law as an elisor. an officer
appointed for the occasion where the sheriff is
incompetent or otherwise disqualified. As to
the probable result Of the trial, Miss Holliugs-
worth's friends confidently anticipate her nc
4 quittal, and as she is eaid to be young and de-
4 cidedly pretty, it is more than probable fhei,
authorizations are well grounded
