tried to-day.
Mr.. Thomas said that upon examination of

investigated, and he believed that there would
be a number OF charges for falsi1ying the pay
rolls.
''When was he arrested?" inquired the Judge
"Over a week ago." answered Mr.. Cahill.
Mr.. Thomas said that Sergeant LOmbardy
had been investigating the case and ex-
perienced considerable troube,as the witnesses

ance The prosecution, he said, had a week 10
inquire into the charge and had failed to pre-
sent any charge against Prince except magis-
trate's warrant, which charged nothing what
ever, and bis client, he thought, was entitled to
q dismissal.
The Judge declined to dismiss the case and
