ment Of City Auditor Philip Hinkle for
alleged completely in the city hall defalca-
tiOns was concluded before the board of
| aldermen at late hour tonight, by the
articles failing to be sustained. The vote
was six against Hinkle to five in his favor,
one alderman being absent through ill
ness. The law requires two-third vote of
all the members of the board to sustain
| the articles. Hinkle was yesterday put on
trial in the circuit court On an Indictment
charging him with forging a
writing for the purpose of deprlving
another of money. Hej thus occupied a
strange position, being on trial before two
tribunals for the same offense, but the YER
dict of the board of aldermen, it is thought,
will add to his chances for favorable YER
| dict before the court.

Ferguson was postponed one week, owing
to the absence of the principal counsel.
The case against Capt. Geo. W. Levi, ex
chief of the fire department, also an al
legged city hall conspirator, has not been
called. The fourth party, Copesnapp,
Ferguson's clerk, applied for a change of
venue, but the court withheld its decision
until the next calling of the case. Great
interest is manifested in these trials, owing
to the former prominence of the accused
