JUMPED THE COUNTRY VIM. Pellet,
the principal witness for the prosecu-
ton in the case of the four men arrest
ed for robbing BODIES tailoring estab-
lisbment a month or more since, has
evanesced, and it is highly probable
that the case will be dismissed from
Justice Jones' court tomorrow, when
it was set for trial, for want of pros
ecution. Pellet had been arrested and
held in Jail as the prosecuting witness,
but his release was permitted by Dis
trict Attorney Ronald. Pellet I'M
proved his opportunity TO skip. New
evidence was then discovered that Pei
let was as deeply implicated in the
crime as the four principals, and Chief
Mitchell set about TO effect his capture.
He got trace Of Pellet at Anacortes.
on Fidalgo island, and he dispatched
officer Terry after him there. The Off
Ger followed the fugitive from Anacor-
ties 10 Whatcom, and there lost track
OF him, and was forced to return to
Seattle. The prosecution may stick
without Pellet, but it looks a little
doubtful.
