given over to criminal business, and work in
that line was begun yesterday in the way OF
arralgnments new indictments being pre-

On the opening of court, the Diamond
family, lustrous only in sin, were brought up
keeping house of ill-fame.
William Diamond had no money, SO he
said, and secured the appointment of E. r.
Hollinshead as his counsel. Then he was
granted until to-day to enter his plea.

same lot, appeared with G. D. O'Brien as

answer to the same charge. Both were per-

on bail, which amount was fixed at $500 on
each Indictment. But they failed to show
the glitter of coin or wealth and failed to So
cure release.

stealing, harness stealing, etc., appeared in
court, and by his attorney, Mr.. 9. D.
O'Brien, asked leave to withdraw his former
plea of not guilty, and enter the plea OF
