LOCAL INTELLIGENCE

HELD TO ANswER.-The room of the
Police Court was crowded on Saturday
morning by people who desired to hear
JudgeHenry' summing up of the testimony
of the Ida Evinger case. After the Court
was opened by Bailiff Kent, by consent of
counsel on both sides, the audience was
allowed to remain. The defendants, Cav |
anaugh and Bulger, occupied seats at the
bar beside their attorneys. Judge Henry |
said: Il have but very few words to say in
this case. We have just concluded long |
and tedious examination, one of serious |
import to the defendants, to the citizens of
Sacramento and the people Of the State. |
l have listened carefully and attentively |
to all the testimony introduced and |
the able arguments made by coun- |
sci. | think there has been an |
earnest endeavor on the part of the counsel |
on both sides to conduct the case honestly |
and faithfully. believe from the evidence
that Ida Evinger was poor supplemented |
and virtuouS girl when she came to Sacra- |
mento, and remained so up to the time
Bulger, it is claimed, outraged her | be-
lieve the defendants offered her employ
ment for the sole purpose of debauching
her. and they are therefore guilty of the
crime of rape. Counsel for defense have
said if the prisoners are held they will be
released on habeaS corpus. That is some
thing that interests the higher Courts.
Neither young men nor old men can be
justified for the commission of such crimes.
| therefore hold the defendants to answer
to the Superior Court for the crime of rape,
and fix the amount of bail in each case at
$1,000" The attorneys for the defendants,
as soon as the latter were taken to the
County Jail, procured Judge McFarland's
signature to a writ of habeas corpus, di-
rected to the Sheriff and made returnable
on the 9th instant. Pending the hearing,
Judge Mcfarland allowed them to give bail
in the sum of $1,000 each, and they were
both released on bonds. The case of
Walter p. Emery will come up for trial one
week from next Tuesday, January 18th.
