CRIMINAL CASES.
The following disposition was made
of number of the criminal cases which
were continued over from last term:
Andrew DemkO, indicted for murder in
the first degree, trial set for Oct. /. 1t
will be remembered that Demko was
charged with the murder of man on
the Bohemian flats at the lower end of

spring. EX-Adjutant of Police John E.
Ward, indicted for misrepresentation of
public funds, trial set for Sept. 81.
Ward was indicted nearly year ago,
and his case has been continued from
time to time for the purpose. it has been
claimed, of using the case as political
capital in the coming campaign against
Mayor Ames. August Warren, charged
with throwing brick through win
dow and hitting little girl on the head:
trial set for Sept. 90. The trial of w.
+. Meader, the grain commission man,
charged with selling wheat left with
him for storage, was set for Oct l.
Thomas j. Kelly, the eX-licenSe in
SpectOr, who was indicted by the same
grand jury which indicted Ward and
whose case has been dragging along for
the same length of time, and probably
for the same reasons, had his trial set
for Sept. 81.
The county attorney entered nolles
in the following cases: r. Detreville,
A. P. Dean and Z. II. Weinhold,
charged with selling liquor without a
license; j. M. Hughes and j. NJ. Oliver,
charged with selling liquor on Sunday,

Offense, trial set for Sept. II. j. X.

nature to deed under false pretenseS,
and Otto Sharf, charged with assault in
second degree, had their cases set for
Sept. 81. The case of John COlwell, a
private detective, indicted for perjury,
cannot be tried until the supreme court
decides on the case of Quinlan d King,
his former employers, who were CON
victed last term of compromising
crime; his case was therefore continued.
The grand jury shows no signs of adj
1ourning as yet, and yesterday examined
a large number of witnesses who were
in charge of License Inspector Ray, and
who are probably witnesses against the
keeDerS of blind pigs.
