John Tracy, Jr., burglary. The term OF the
Criminal Court has been extended to Feb
ruary 18th. r- b.
The excitement in this burg this morning
was intense; in fact it ran all the way up
to fever heat, when it became known that
Thomas Bodkins, prominent citizen, a
noted local politician, late Democratic
nominee for Sheriff of, Campbell County,an
Ex-Overseer of the Poor, and at present
holding the office of Squire had got him
self into peck of trouble, so much so that
he was arrested last night on q very serious
charge. The facts in the case are as fol-
lows: The Squire purchased box of ian
cy soap from peddler named Oliver lliff.
whose place of abode is 215 Fifth street,
Cincinnati. Shortly after this transaction
Tiff was arrested on charge OF peddiIng
without a license. He was taken be ore
/ Squire Fuller, and after short ceremony
was acquitted. County Attorney Edgar,
thinking that all was not right in the latter
transaction, had the soap vender re-arrest-
ed, much to the latter's astonish-
ment. This time the case
was taken before Squire Maphet, and
| Tiff engaged City Attorney Root to defend
him. Mr. Root pleaded in bar to the pros
ecution a certified copy of Squire FuIlers
ordering the prisoners discharge, and just
here is where the trouble commences with
Mr.. Bodkins Tiff swears that the latter
forced him to pay over $40 to him Bod
| lins) to pay constable's fees, ETC., and that
| if the amount named was not forthcoming
he might be fined 800 and COSTS
which would be $12 co. else go
to Jail for one hundred DAYS
Tiff being entirely ignorant of Kentucky
laws, and being nearly scared out OF his
wits, said he would leave the matter with
his attorney. The latter advised him to
pay it, adding that the amount was
small, considering the serious crime
lie was charged with. The soap
vender, whose horse and wagon
were in soak, went TO Cincinnati and
raked up the amount, and returning paid
his attorney his fee, $12, but he wanted SO
more, and also paid Bodkins his $40 and
Squire Fuller SIS for his trouble Tiff being
informed that something was wrong in
Denmark came to Newport about 8 o'clock
last night and swore out the warrant, clarg'
ing Bodllins with receiving money to with,
hold evidence in criminal offenSe.
Mr.. Bodkins gave bail in the sum of 5000
Wm Air going on his bond, for his appear
ance this morning. The case was called
before Squire Buchanan, but the Grand
Jury being in session, Bodkins was remand
ed for hearing before that body. The Grand
Jury notified witnesses to be present at 2
o'clock this afternoon, when the case will
come up. Mr.. Root declares he will not
testify before the Grand Jury, claiming his
privileges as an attorney. Mr. Bodkln'
says he will have Tiff arrested for offering
a bribe.
