MURDER TRIAL.

The murder trial of VIM. Heilwagon for
the brutal killing of his daughter-in-law,
Dora Heilwagon, will commence in the
criminal court next Monday.
The council, p. OMara and J. L. Hass,
yesterday took charge OF the case, and for
prisoner. They naturally desired him to
make an affidavit asking for continuance
on the grounds that sufficient time had not
been given his counsel to prepare the de
Tense. This he refused point blank to do,
and said he wanted his trial at the present
term of court. He expected that his wife
would secure counsel for him, and conse-
quently had made no arrangements for at
torneys until yesterday, when he ascertain
ed that she had refused to advance any
money for such purpose. The counsels,
under the circumstance, could not refuse
to take the case at the present term of
court, although they appreciate the fact
that it is a very serious matter, and were
quite reluctant to defend man indicted
for murder with such a limited time in
which to make preparations for the trial.
The prisoner appears to be indifferent
as to what is done in his behalf, and so
far has not given the name of any witness
es who will prove his innocence, although
he persistently denies that he had
anything to do with the crime for which
he was indicted.

FIRST DRUNK.

Pat Murphy, a bright young Irish boy
was run in by the police last night on &C
count of being in an intoxicated condition.
This morning the prisoner had an inter-
view with Justice Chopper, and confided
the information to that individual that it
was his first offense. The prisoner stated
that he did not particularly fancy the
effects of liquor, but had taken numer-
Gus drinks Just to see how it would effect
him. He said that he was unable to mar
rate the development of the liquor, as his
legs refused to carry him, and he felt as
though he was somebody else. This
morning however he regained conscious
ness and ascertained that some tender
hearted policeman had taken him in from
the streets.
The court fined him 50 and costs, and
permitted the prisoner to depart to his
home in Iowa.

ON SUSPICION.

Two men were arrested last night by the
police on suspicion that they had been en-
gagged in some burglaries. In their poses
sion were found several knives and other
articles of a similar nature, that would in
dictate that the men did not come by them
in an honest manner. The prisoners gave
a good account of themselves, but stated
that they were formerly brakemen on one
of the roads centering in this city. About
three weeks ago they were discharged, and
since that time they have been unable to
secure employment. They were loafing
about waiting for something to turn up.
The police will make inquiries concern
ing them of the Davenport force, and if
no charge can be preferred against them
they will be sent out of the city.

SUICIDE.

Yesterday afternoon man by the name
of n. V. Chamberlain, attempted to kill
himself at his home in Davenport. He
was engaged as marble cutter for the
firm of McCosh & Donahue. He came
from Geneseo, and with his family lived in
Davenport For some time he has had a
mania that caused him to believe that some
one desired to kill or shoot him. He was
perfectly sane on all other subjects. His
wife yesterday brought the matter before
the proper authorities with the intention of
having him sent to the State Asylum for
treatment. Two policemen were sent to
his home to convey him before the proper
court. When the man saw the officers APP
proach his house, he drew n revolver and
shot himself The ball took effect in the
breast. and it is thought produced fatal
wound.

HIS PROFESSION.

f. III. Gilbert was held in the Armory
for vagrancy, and his companion prisoner
in that establishment was A Falt who
was held for non-payment of q fine.
The former agreed to leave the city if
released from the lock up, and yesterday
he made his way to Peoria. Falt, after
the departure of his quandam neighbor,
discovered that he had been robbed Of one
dollar, all the money that he possessed
while in the Armory. It is probable that
Gilbert was afraid he would lose some of
his dexterity in picking pockets if he neg
lected to practice the art, and had therefore
made Falt subject of his profession. The
suspected man having departed, Falt had
to take his loss and make the best of it.

by his company is that the acting never
deteriorates into burlesque, showing q

RUSTIC JUSTICE.

A case whose peculiar termination de-
serves mention, occurred at HillsdaIe on
Monday, and shows that the court itself is
not always free from blame, and in this in
stance confessed its liability by a self lin
position of the costs.
Not long ago a certain constable, in sat
isfying judgment, levied on some goods
that were exempt by the laws of Illinois
and other states.
The owner of these articles brought suit
to recover the exempted goods, and the
trial was set for Hillsdale on Monday
morning at o'clock.
The plaintiffs in the suit have engaged
the services of a promising young attorney
of this city, while the defending constable
had secured an attorney from Port Byron
The counsel, at some inconvenience, jour
neyed to Hillsdale, and arrived there
promptly on time. They visited the
Justice office of that place, but failed to
find the court at his accustomed place
court put In an appearance. He explained
that there had been wedding in his i'm
mediate neighborhood, and that on that
account he had been unable to meet his APP
pointment. He further SAID that his hired
man had joined the last of married people,
and the transformation had necessitated
his doing certain work about the farm.
The lawyer defending the constable had
nothing to say, but refused to enter his
clients appearance in the case. He init
mated that the case was set for 8 o'clock,
and he had been ready to try the case at
any time. The hour having passed, he
felt that he had nothing to do in the case,
as it had passed on account of the courts
absence.
The plaintiffs attorney stated that he
had good case and was able to prove
that the property taken by the constable
was exempt by law, and should be refund
ed. The attorney stated that of course if
the defendants counsel refused to appear
the case would drop, but it would do SO
at the expense of the court, as that in
dividual was alone to blame fer the mis-
understanding.
The court is a very jovial manner con-
fessed judgment and said that for once
the attorneys were. both right and the
court was wrong. He felt that marriages
were good institutions even if they did
