THE OLD STORY.

A Chicago Lawyer, With $4,000
in Money Belonging to Other peo-
pie, Supposed to be RustlcatlnR
In Canada.
CHICAGO. May 31.--A morning pa
per says, regarding the missing attor-
ney Geo. II. Leonard: "Hyde park has
in all probability seen the last of Geo.
H. Leonard, for all time to come.
More does it seems probable that he is
wandering over the country in dazed.
Indefinite sort of way, as has been
given out. His relatives believe he is
doub less in Canada, and If he is not
there by this time, he ought to be.
A rough estimate Of his speculation
places the sum total of his thefts and
liabilities at $4,000 and it is believed
when all his victims have been
heard from the amount will be
more rather than below tlat sum. 1t
is c9rtain that he has been carrying a
very heavy load for some time, and
it is asserted that he has repeatedly
been obliged to have his father.in- law,
Capt. T. G. Butler, put up his cash in
order to make good sums which he had
diverted from their proper channels.
Three Hyde Park policemen bought
some residence lots. paying enough
cash to secure them the warranty
deeds and lifting a mortgage. Leonard
arranged the deal, and since the men
paid hin $1,000 to be app'i4d upon
the mortgage, not a cent Of
it has been so applied, and
the poor policemen loose their
hard-earned savings. One of
their number sold out a portion of his
purchase to the other, and when the
buyer offered to pay him the purchase
money, the seller refused to take it,
and told him to turn it over to Leon.
ard, to be applied on his account. or
course this is also gone. What
Leonard did with all this money is a
mystery. 1t was supposed he had lost
it in wheat, but careful examination
of his accounts reveals no checks or
other records Of a sum paid out to
commission men.

The Movements Of the HostIIes.

TOMBSTONE, A. T., May 31.-The
hostiles, headed off from the reserva-
tion, seem to be doubling back to So
nora. The worst feature of the later
movement to the country southwest
of Nogales is that a number of miners
and prospectors, who came in for safe
ty, left again for their prospects and
many of them may be waylaid and as-
sassinated on the trails or at the mines
or cabins. Efforts continue to be made
to entice scouts to take the place of
Apaches, No success attended the at
tempts to get the Papagoes to 60 out
after the hostiles. Lieut.. Stanton,
of Gen. Miles staff, is now in
New Mexico, enlisting Navsjoes to act
as scouts, trailers, etc. Capt. Frost
was authorized by Gen. Miles to enlist
a company of Gague or Pima Indians,
they to receive pay as regular soldiersy
but to furnish their own horses. Capt.
Frost managed to gather forty men,
but was unable to procure horses for
them at the rate al owed. Work has
been suspended at the Copper Queen
mines, near Nogalas, on account of
Indian raids.

The Maxwell Trial.

ST.. LOUIS, May 3l.-The veterans of
justice observed the holiday by con-
tinuing the Maxwell trial, ana the
counsel for Stat by introducing evi-
dence in rebuttal to the prisoners test
imony, which they think will prepare
the alleged murderer for grave which
they hope may be decorated year
from the present time. The first wit
ness called by prosecution was Morgue
Superintendent Ryan. He testi-
fled that he, in company with Drs
Prewitt and Nideltt, and Mr.. Clover, of
counsel for the State, visited last
Friday the cemetery in which Mr..
Prtll7r's body had been inferred and
exhumed the remains, post mortem
examination was made, and certain or
gans referred to by Maxwell in his tes-
timony as diseased were removed and
taken to Doctor Brokaw's Office. The
body at the time was in good condi-
tion, better if anything than at the
time when it was buried. The defense
objected to testimony on this point, on
the ground that the defense were kept
in ignorance of the occurrence, and
they had no representative to see that
the body from which the organs were
removed was really Preller's. The
court overruled the obj csion, and an
exception was taken. An opportunity,
however, was afterward given counsel
to argue the question, and Mr.. Fount-
leroy, of defense, spoke against ad-
mitLing the testimony.

? JACKSON, May 3l.-The case of Doc
Bishop VS.. the State of Mississippi,
was today affirmed in the supreme
court and July the third fixed as the
date of execution. -...
Bishop was convicted by the last
term of the Calhoun circuit court for
the murder of W. T. Wise, a Texas de-
tective, in October, 1884. Wise was
led into ambush by Jim Bishop, broth
er of the accused, who induced Wise to
believe he desired his brother arrested.
The killing of Wise was as cruel and
heartless a murder as ever stained the
criminal records of this State. Be
sides the murder of Wise, Bishop had
killed others. one being Bob Lamar, at
Dallas, Miss. He and brother were
to that portion of the State in which
they lived, what the James brothers
were to the West-perfect terror-and
the large reward offered for their
arrest induced Wise to undertake to

paid any balance found due after de-
Quoting for machinery and improve
