Justice Barnes continued two civil
cases this morning, Allinger vs.. A. Kahn
& Co and l.. CARA VS.. l. Mahncke.
Two OF the negro women, who made
the affidavits against the soldiers before
Justice Barnes. came before him again
this morning to make some affidavits
against some one for theft, but the JUS
tice refused to receive them, telling
them to go before the grand jury.
These women, on going befOrethe grand
jury against the soldiers, refused TO tes-
Iify, as they did before the justice, hence
their word Is OF very little weight with
the Judge.

AN OFFICIAL BLUNDER.
Such Seems to be the Outlook OF the
Samuels- Michael Persecution.


Samuels- Michael Persecution.
There Is considerable comment In the
city AT the action OF the post-office in
spectOrs, for their persecution OF Mr.. Max
oamuels and his partner Michael, be-
cause they innocenIly received postal
note order for $50. The prosecution
does not see Ii to he warranted .inasmuch
As the postal note was taken
In bona hdee, was made pay
ale TO bearer and therefore a negotia-
BILE document, and no attempt was made
al concealment. Indeed, " hen the postal
note WAS lrsc d as paid" it was
Immediately seen by the signature thar
IL had been paid to the Fashion theatre.
All these points rebuff the supposition
that there was anything wrong In the
action OF the accused, and no one will
believe thar such business men would be
foolish enough to take the risk u dam
aging their reputation for the paltry
sum OF Sl.S0. The whole affair has the
appearance OF being an Official blunder.
