ing conveyed by Deputy Britt, of Jus
tice Coleman's Office. Mrs. AlbritteI
accompanied her husband, and tn,
party took q carriage to make the pas
sage from the Justices Office on Mad
ison street by way of Front street t
the county jail. The case against the
man is fixed for 2 o'clock Monday
afternoon next.
When the time for the resumption
Of the examination of Albritten ar
rived on yesterday afternoon the de,
tendant failed to appear. The MANNED
boy and his mother were present, and
with them were also Mrs, Albritten's
two smaller childreB. They formed q
very pleasant looking group, the
MANNED boy being the frsilest and
most delicate looking one Of the quar-,
tette, owing, doubtless, TO the extended
confinement from the effects Of the
barbarous injuries inflicted upon him
by his steptather and mother. The
latter said. while in the court room
that she had begged her husband moi
to appear for trial and had plead on
her knees for him TO leave the city,
therefore,it was all her fault if he
had fed. After waiting until about 4
o'clock Squire Coleman adjourned the
case over until to-day. At a
later hour the bondsman,
Il. w. Bauman, received an order
for $500 on DR.. Henning. This the
lady gave to reimburse him for the
amount he would lose should the man
escape and the bond be declared tor
feited. The bond was for $1,000, Ais
britten being responsible Tor halt
and Bauman for the remainder.
The Association for the Prevention
of Cruelty at once took steps to cap
ture Albritten, and offered reward
of $50 to the Chief Of Police for his
arrest. Inquiry elected the
fact that Albritten with the
boy he had treated so cruelty
had been seen on upper Main street as
late as eleven o'clock Thursday night.
BE was in the Office of Attorney Moss
during the morning and had been seen
about the streets during the forenoon.
He, however, crossed the river to
at eleven o'clock and re-
manned until dark, when he returned
to attend a meeting of Banner Lodge,
|. 0. 0. f., of which he is a member.
Several of his lodge brethren appeared
at Esq. Coleman's Office during the
forenoon, desiring to gather facts con-
nected with the | serious charges
against him with view
of having him brought to
account before the lodge. What
action, if any, was taken in the lodge
room has not been disclosed, but when
the lodge adjourned about IL last
night Albritten walked up Main street
with Officer Kunholz, and the latter
lodged the man in the calaboose, where
be remained until this morning, wher
he was taken before Esquire Coleman,
As above related.
A large number of people gathered
about Esquire Coleman's Office yester-
day afternoon, and the outrage was the
general theme throughout the city. A
deep feeling of indignation has been
aroused in all circles. and the borrify-
ing atrocity meets universal condemna
lion. This morning a large number
about the Office Of Esquire
Coleman and various expressions of
.oathing disgust for the british per-
son we're heard. When Officer Britt
escorted him out toward the carriage
IN waiting, some one was heard to re-
mark, "Now's your timel" and the
black hearted villain crouched like
he cowardly craven he has shown
himself to be.
