A breach of poliieness. AID o'.e
which is most annoying TO a ref:.e.t

late an incident, and before DO has
finished two sentences some parrot

Of discourse and com polling the MARI

This is the grossest impoliteHess

THE LEINS OUTRAGE.
Proceedings Taken 60 Prevent the Victim
from Leaving Town.


Shortly after tho Criminal court convened
yesterday morning Mr. Pcrry stated that ho
had received information from tho Off
GERS that Miss Lena Leins the victim OF
tho late outrage, Of which Thomas Snothers
is accused of committing, had almost
fully recovered from the injuries re-
ceived; that she was not a resident Of the
city; only here on visit, when this outrage
ous assault was mado and that now she was
about to depart for her home In order to avoid
tho publicity and uupleasantness of trial.
While ho could understand how disagreeablo
II might bo for her to testify in the case, still
he did not think IL would be either right or
proper to permit such n crime rs this to go by
default. lie thought that such ofTunses de-
manded the closest investigation and the
guilty parties punishment to the fullest ex-
tont Of tho law. He must, therefore, nsk, re-
luctant as he was to do so, that subpoena be
issued for the appearance OF Miss Leins
before tho Grand Jury aud that she be
placed under bond for her appearance at tho
trial. He understood that she was rot yet
able to leave the house, so he would ask that
tho clerk Of the court, accompanied by the
marshal visit her, and after the service Of tho
subpoena take security for her appearance.
His Honor replied that lie appreciated the
situation of tho young lady--it was = dolicate
one, and she should not be blamed for wishing
not to give the mattor any further publcityi
still II was one of those cases that most ur-
gently demanded attention, aud in justice to
the law aud the community II could not he
permitted to terminate as il would il this
young lady were allowed to depart the city.
lie ordered that the course DO taken as sug.
gestcd by the Assistant District Attorney. To
carry out the instructions Of the Court uoccs'
STATED the absence of Mr.. Sparrow, the clOrk,
from the chamber and a recess was taken for
one hour. The clerk subsequently, returned
aud stated that Miss Leins had decided to
obey the subpmua of tic court, consequently
no bond was required.
The public generally will properly under
stand the reluctance of Miss Lens to appear
in this case; but, at tho same time, the ncccs-
sity for the punishment of such brutes, ns the
one who assaulted hor, is so important that
sno should not entertain any scruples about
appearing in court and giving her testlmOny.
