Why was it that the reporter of the Herald
who attended the ratification meeting at the
courtroom last evening stood in the dark
hallway to take his notes, instead of taking
a seat at one of the tables? Was he ashamed
to show his face in that assemblage, or did
he feel retioent about fostering the hash he
expected to dish up? OF course, getting
notes through the crack of the door was
more in keeping with the knot-hole policy
of the sheet he represents, but his manhood
alone should have asserted itself to an
extent that would have at least brought him
inside the room. Any little inaccuracies that
may have occurred in his report must be
excused, as all his notes were taken in the
dark.
Thomas Butler, who was before Judge
Mckay yesterday on the charge of unlawful
cohabitation, was startled by the announce
ment that he would be held to answer to the
additional charge of polygamy. The rela-
tives of the alleged second wife gave damag-
ing testimony against the defendant. They
all agreed that according to common repute
the girl was married to Butler. 1t seems
that she had been a servant girl in his family
some time prior to the marriage and there
fore the new relation between them was not
80 noticeable. The second wife is still
missing and her testimony of course could
not be taken. The defendant had nothing
to say, employed no counsel and produced
no witnesses. At the conclusion of the
examination he was bound over to await
the action of the Grand Jury in the sum OF
$1,000
