In the Criminal Court yesterday the case Of

ney appeared for the Government and Mr.. A.. b..
Williams for the defendant. Mr.. Williams asked
for a continuance, stating that he was not ready
to go to trial. Colonel Corkhill very strenuously
objected to n postponement claiming that the
monte men had for years carried OH their swind-
ling business unchecked and stolen over 100000.
There was great difficulty in prosecuting
cases of this kind, as witnesses had a relicence
in appearing. and even when they manifest
an intention to prosecute efforts are made to get
them out of the way. He had been Informed on
good authority that $1,000 had been offered TO
Boone to leave the city. Mr.. Williams said that
the District Attorney must have been misiniorned
in regard to the $1,000 story. The affair had been
reported to the police by one of oLeary's conied.
