IT,. Ev;nper Case.

| Office and could not attend the Court. lie
further stated that he had done consider
| able work for the county in the Police
! Court during several months past and the
Board of Supervisors had ignored his bills.
He had a family TO support, and considered
| it his duty to labor where he received rec
ompense for his services. He received
stenOgraphers wages at the Land Office,
and he could not throw up cash job for
one in which there was doubt of his ever
receiving paw for his work. Rather than
be compelled to throw up his employment
at the Land Office he would resign as OF
| fetal reporter of the Police Court. After
hearing his statement the Court and attor-
neys agreed that he acted as they should,
under similar circumstances, and he was
excused. Court then adjourned to l P. n,
when j. H. Coffey a stenographer, was en-
ployed to take his place for the afternoon.
The first witness called was Z. w. CAT
ferty. a special officer. His testimony re-
garding his going to the girls room the
night Bulger was found there was corrobo-
rative in every particular of that given by
the Chief of Police and the prosecuting
witness, Ida Evinger. He said, when he
found the girl, as had been stated by her
she seemed to him to be bewildered and
simple-minded After Bulger had left the
room. ana she related what had occurred
he made up his mind that an outrage had
been committed, and it was in accordance
with his advice that she had gone TO the
CITY Attorney and sworn to the complaints
that instituted the suit. The girl was d
mystery to him at first, and he could come
to but one conclusion after questioning her
for some time, and that was that she was
simple. On his way to her room with Cav
anaugh who pointed it out, Cavanaugh
told him she was girl Is or Is years of
age. and had about $3.50 in money Cav
anaugh also told him that Bulger had
measured her The girl told him all the
circumstances from her first acquaintance
with Emery to the alleged outrage, and
said she had been subjected to the grossest
indecencies by both Bulger and Cavanaugh.
Bulger left the room at the time they en-
tered She claimed that she had been thus
mistreated without her consent and in the
face OF protests From her story he could
not help forming the opinion that an out
rage had been committed, and as soon as
he met the Chief he informed him of his
conviction in the premises. He said he
went back the second time in order to
ascertain who the party was who claimed
to be Harry Love. Her description of
Cavanaugh on that evening was very
imperfect, but it was clear and minute in
detail when she described his personal
appearance afterwards in the presence Of
the City Attorney There was no improper
language used or rude conduct noticed in
either of the interviews he had, which
were in the presence of witnesses. and the
girl behaved herself with becoming mod
eSty.
Frank Rider, the policeman who accom-
panied Catferty, testified to about the same
facts lie said the light went out in her
room rs they approached the door, and
when questioned regarding it she said she
had turned ii down low, and presumed that
it had gone out. This contradicts the tes-
timony the girl gave on this point Both
witnesses testified that Bulger came out in
full dress the moment that they insisted
upon admission. There was considerable
testimony regarding the action OF Bu!ger
that evening subsequent to the officers
visit to the girls room, that is unimpOrtant
and not material.
Officer J. NJ Woods was placed upon the
stand and related the incidents connected
with his arrest of Bulger and Cayanaugh.
All of the officers testified that they were
not acquainted with Isaac Trainor. The
warrant for his arrest was made out against
Charles Coo, and Woods stated that the
CITY Attorney had told him that it was for
a man by the name of Gage, and not for
Trainor
William Brown, night clerk at the Pa
cific Hotel said man came there between
) and 6 o'clock in the morning. and asked
for q room He gave his name as Isaac
Trainor, and said he and his wife had Just
arrived on the boat, and wanted a room.
The girl was admitted at the hall door, and
she and Trainor went up to room No. /.
Further than that he knew nothing re-
garding them.
Mr. johnson then said he wished TO in
troduce a paper he had received from Lin
coin, which was signed by large number
of ladies and gentlemen, and read as fol-
lows:
LINCOLN. December IS, 1881.
We, the citizens of the vicinity of Lincoln,
feel much grieyed at the abuse of one of our
friends, Miss Ida Evinger We have been ac-
quainted with her the last four years and dur
ing that time have known her to be a modest,
quiet, yirtuOuS little girl, and hope the fiends
that have committed such an outrage may be
brought to speedy Justice.
Counsel for defense objected, and it was
ruled out.
Counsel for prosecution then announced
that they closed their case.
c. 7. Jones, of the counsel for defense,
then moved that the defendants be dis
charged, on the ground that neither of the
charges alleged i'll the complaint nor any
other cause known to the law, had been
committed. He said he wished to argue
this motion.
1t being quite late. and as the argument
would consume several hours, with the con-
sent of all parties the farther hearing Of
the case was postponed until \. NJ Satur
day, December 9th.
