TIE LAW,S DELAY.

Civil Cases Dragging Along-To,n Howard
Case, and Resumes Electioneering Bust
ness.
In the district court, yesterday, Judge
Wilkin presiding. tho Chandler-DeGraff
case was resumed. At 4 o'clock the case was
given to the jury.
At that hour the case of the State against
Thomas Howard, charged with embezzle-
ment, was called. County Attorney Rogers
appeared for the State, and Messrs. Horn and
Heard represented the interest of the ac-
cused.
The case is well known one, and was on
trial at a former term of the court. At that
time the jury disagreed, there being six for
and six against conviction. During this
term, tho case has been set and
rest, the defendant in each instance enter
ing plea for continuance. Yesterday the
case came up On motion by defendants at
attorney for further continuance. Pre-
viously the cause assigned had been the dan
gerous sickness Of accused. Yesterday the
postponement was asked because of the alb
sence Of material witness, the Hon. Igna-
titus Donnelly. County Attorney Rogersur-
gently opposed a continuance. He declared
the prosecution ready for the trial, and that
it had been all during the present
term of court. The defendant
had constantly asked for postponement. He
had been given the favor SO far, and now it
was about time to dispose of the case. Pre-
vlously he was represented to be sick, but
Immediately before the case was called he
was out, and the same night of the day the
case was reset he was out. The counsel be-
lieved this was only a subterfuge to put the
case over for term. Mr.. Rogers stated that
MIR. Donnelly had testified at the last trial,
and he was willing to have his testimony
read in the present trial and admitted, as
given at the last trial. Counsel ex-
planned that Mr.. Donnelly was en-
gagged up to election day, and
If the case was reset for this term, it would
have to be on the 9Th of November, or there
after. An objection to this was that all court
business would about be finished before that
time.
MIR. Horn, of counsel for defense, replied,
no would not accept Mr.. Rogers proposition
to admit Mr.. Donnelly's former testimony.
He insisted upon the presence of the witness,
and demanded his presence in the interests
of the defendant. He concluded by saying,
If the case were not continued, the defend
ants only resource would be to ask the coun-
Gil for an attachment against Mr.. Donnelly.
The court, after hearing the argument,
decided that the case would have to go over
until the next term of the court.
AT this decision Howard looked up very
cheerfuily; didn't appear to be the least bit
sick. Several friends whispered, 81 con-
graduate you, Howard" Mr.. Howard
walked out of the court room to resume the
duties of electioneering for deputy sherif's
position under Acker-if elected.
The court then took up the case entitled
Albert Rice VS.. G. jay Rice. Little progress
was made up to the hour of adjournment,
$50 o'clock. Previous to adjourning, the
jury in the Chandler DeGraff case, not hav-
ing returned a verdict, were instructed to
render sealed verdict to-day. q

an indecent manner took possession of the
Office and compelled Mrs. Becht and family
to remove.
The facts are these: Immediately upon

was important that an appointment should
be made to fill the vacancy at once. was
appointed. The county attorney being alb

the board could not make an appointment,

IDENTIFY he is weakening in the matter. He has

He expresses his anxiety to get to Chicago,
where he has friends. He put much reliance
in Lawyer A. s. Trudes' powers to get him
out of "the worst part of the scrape." When
questioned about the burglary for which he
was arrested, he said it was his intention to
steal only enough to get him out of town.

"To Omaha and then San Francisco. If
had wanted to take more, the whole store

himself for being ga ham, in trading off

THE GOSsIPs' CAB.
THE INETITGBLE HOMAN IN THE
ETHERIDGE CASE.
New Facts Not Being at Hand. the Gossips
Take Hold of the Great Defalcation-A
Woman at the Bottom of It-Etheridge in


The Etheridge escapade continues to be
the predominant subject of conversation
wherever two or three persons are met to-
gether, even to the exclusion largely of the
progress of the political campaign for the
overthrow of Washburn and the swindling
brass kettles. A visit to the various banks
OF this city yesterday and other places where
such news would be most likely to be re-
ceiyed, resulted in nothing further as to the
whereabouts of the defaulter, or in adding
much to the details of the career of the leyant-
ing swindler. Not having solid facts to feed
upon, gossip is weaving story of its own,
in which the inevitable woman, before hint
ed at, takes a prominent part. When the
matter was first brought to public notice,
and the round figures of the defalcation
were first spread out IN plain black type, and
the cold and unattractive disposition of the
defaulter, were considered, the woman ques-
ton sank into the background. But she will
not down. Gossip insists in bringing her to
the front, and in making her the
middleman between the tempter and
the tempted, as in the scene in
the garden of Eden Gossip says, and says
wisely, that when there has been SO much
effect, there must necessarily be CORE
spending degree of cause, and that when an
economical, methodical, on-drinking, nom
gambling business man falls, there must of
necessity be a fallen angel in the case. Thus
reasoning, the female is found, she is
clothed in the usual habiliments of female
divinity, and, of course, started on the inev-
liable trip to Europe some three months in
advance of the crash. Such is the gossip.
OF course, those most intimate with Ether
edge scout the idea. So they did the report
of his being defaulter. Stubborn facts have
proven the defalcation. Future develop
ments may prove the woman in the case as
stubborn fact as the defalcation.
In addition, gossip says that while Ether
idge was going about, just before his flight,
laying up little bill of indebtedness here
and there, ne was at the same time playing
his substantial standing to its utmost, BY
borrowing of every friend supposed to have
any money by him, amounts ranging from
$50 to $1,000, and that by this course he
succeeded in gathering in goodly number
of ducats. This is mere gossip. So is the
woman in the case.
In the meantime. the established, incon-
strovertible facts remain as already given in
the GLOBE. Charles Etheridge has gone, a
heavy defaulter-in simple English, thief.
His present Whereabouts are unknown, but
ne is undoubtedly beyond the reach of Judi
cial punishment.
