Preliminary Examination of Prof Strunk.
louisville Courier-Journal.
Mr.. Jewett opposed continuance and said
it would be great injustice to his client to
fine him in Jail for month in his present phys
ical condition. His side was ready. and was in
favor of proceeding. If, however. continuance
was ordered, he would beg that the case be set
for Sept 3, as some of the counsel would
be absent from the city until that time.
The court, accordingly, ordered continuance
until Sept 3 at o'clock A. NJ, and remand
ed the prisoner to Jail without bail. He recog-
nized the witnesses in the sum of 800 each, and
court adjourned.
On his return to Jail through the throng Prof.
Strunk was gazed at curiously. but not word
was spoken to offend his feelings. He has the
full range of the JAIL where only one two
others confined, and is receiving constant at
tenton from his friends.
There is little hope that Dr.. Hoover can
cover. His age, the insufferable weather. and,
above all, the serious nature of the wound,
almost preclude the possibility of his recovery.
The ball has not been found. and in all probable
ity it has lodged in the spinal column or in some
vital organ. Nothing can be done but await de-
velopments. The whole city is deeply interested
in his recovery.
