Especial Telegram to the Globe.l
RUSH CRY, Mimi, May 22.-Pursuant
to an adjournment on April %, the JUS
tees preliminary examination in the case
of Gustaf Nord for the murder of his wife,
Amanda, last November, at Rush City, was
resumed to-day at IL o'clock a. M, before
H. P. ROBBIE, village justice, assisted by
Geo. F. finland, Archibald Peers, MARGIN
L. Spooner and E. G. ingalls,. The prose-
cution was ably conducted by Judge E. E.
Ingalls,, county attorney, assisted by J. D.
Markham, Esq, while the prisoners inter
ests were no less zealously guarded by his
attorney, Lewis D. Dent, ESQ. The exam
lnation was continued until late hour in
the afternoon, when a recess of two hours
was taken, af ter which the case was re-
sumed and continued until 10 p. NJ, when
another adjournment was ordered until
$50 o'clock a. m. Wednesday.
The case has aroused an unusual interest
in this section, nearly all of the people
resident in the town of Nessel, where the
crime was alleged to have taken place, be-
ing in attendance and drinking in every
word of the testimony, while Rush City
and Rushseba town, as well as the sur
rounding country, for radius of some
ten or fifteen miles, contributed their full
share to swelling the crowd to one of NAM
moth proportions. The testimony, as far
as it has been given, is all circumstantial,
though, 1t must be confessed, of an exceed
ingly eliminating nature. The ordinarily
dull routine of legal examination was
somewhat relieved by occasional lively
spats between counsel as the defending
attorney took exceptions to the testimony,
or to the rulings of the court, which he did
quite frequently. There were some NUT
terings of lynching uttered by
a number of people residing in the vicin-
ity of the scene of the alleged fcrime, but
better counsel prevailed, .or perhaps the
very thorough precautions taken by the
authorities to guard against such an out
rage was more than the individuals who
threatened to take the law into their own
hands had bargained for.
