THE Bull HART CASE.

The case of Bill Hart who was alleged to
have threatened to do bodily injury to wo-
man named Mabel Lindsay, came up before
Judge Cary yesterday The only witness for
the prosecution was the threatened woman.
Other female witnesses for the prosecution
did not dare to come into Court to testify, as,
it is said, they are in mortal dread of Hart.
The State failed to make out case suffi-
GENTLY strong to convict the accused, and he
was accordingly discharged. When the Court
told the prisoner that he was at liberty, fell
low by the name of Canon, who has also fig
ured conspcuously in the Police Court here
tofore, stepped up to Hart, and warmly tax
ing him by the hand, congratulated him upon
his release. Just at that time the two GRO
MES were somewhat surprised by Deputy Sher
if Powers and Constable Stern, who claimed
Hart for an une1pired term of imprisonment,
and he taken back to Jail. In a prior is
sue of theMoRNING APPEAL it has been stated
that Hart had been condltionally pardoned
from Jail recently; bat it was understood that
if he in any manner misbehaved himself, he
would have to serve out the remainder of his
unexpired term, which is now a little over
six weeks. The authorities are satisfied that |
he has violated his parole, and he will inger
at the city s expense during the next month

THE SUMMING Up.
+. H. Holt, associate counsel for the State, COM
menced the summing up, reviewing the testimony
and appealing to the jury for q conviction against
Bassett. He followed by Mr.. NJ. d. Wilbur for
the defence. who urged that the testimony of Mrs.
Alexander, convict serving out sentence in State
Prison for this murder, should not be believed
by the jury against his client He also claimed that
the had failed the proof that Bassett
administered the chloroform to ''Stuttering Jack"
charged in the Indictment and asked for verdict
of acquittal. James H. Olmstead, counsel for the
State, reviewed the testimony. He called attention
to the fact that Bassett bought the chloroform
and the BARREL that he was seen drinking with
weinbecker; that he is clearly proved to have gone
with the body in the barrel to New Haven. and
being unable to sell it then hid IL in the gully and
burned the clothes. Counsel urged that the admitted
facts proved Bassett at least equally guilty with Mrs.
Alexander of the murder. Mr.. ID. B. Lockwood
closed for the defence. At the conclusion of his
argument the Court adjourned till to omorrow morn
ing. when Judge Loomis will deliver his charge to
the Jury.
