for trial. Solomon Nuelson related that
when he temporarily left his store, Larson
and till of money remained behind.
Upon his return both Larson and the
money was missing. The formers subse-
quent acts were such as to confirm the
suspicion that he knew something about
the disappearance complained of and he
was accordingly arrested. Larson testi-
fed that he had been paid money about
the time the alleged theft was committed
and that he was innocent of the appear
anoe of crime. His honor had no doubt
but that the accused was guilty; his repu-

tall young man in knee breeches, with a
long face, pair of lengthy slim legs, the
neck Of swan and the voice of crane.
He was Oscar Wilde in name, but no more
like the simon pure Oscar than a monkey
with tin tail would be, Kit is saffron
haired damsel who appeared upon the
stand with a bunch of lilacs held in her
hands with an air of cunning cussedness.
Her story told in mournful numbers re-
vealed the assault to consist of slapping
her face because she refused to furnish
Oscar money with which to purchase

demand stated which he thought was JUS
tilted by brief though intimate acquaint-
ance; He denied the assault alleged.
however, and averred that it consisted sim
Ply in squeezing the lilly white hand Of
the proescutrix. None of the witnesses
who testified observed the battery com
planned of and the accused was discharg-
ed with a warning.
