the Clerk, while the Judges attention was
directed toward the jury. Miss Kane qrasped
| glass Of water and held it poised in her
| hand until the Judge looked arouad, when

jail first" An application was made for her
release under writ of hsbeas corpus, but the
Sheriff chose to exercise his privilege of with
holding service until Tomorrow, 70 she will
occupy cot in the Jail tonight. The trouble
grew out of the fact that the judge ap-
pointed masculine attorney to defend bur.
glar after the States attorney Informed the
Court that Kate had consulted with the pris-
oner about the case.
