A Part of the Testimony Is Taken in the
Lovers" Cases.
Yesterday, before Judge Buckley, Mrs
Mollie Jones, charged with grand larceny,
was held to answer before the Superior
Court with bail fixed at $500. The de-
PENDANT was not in the least moved by the
judgment, but when down stairs she shed
few tears and cussed" nearly all con
nected with the police station. After Court
was over Judge Buckley, having considered
in the meantime that the defendant had
children, went to her with the intention of
reducing her bail. The enraged female was,
however, so impairment that the Judge did
not change his judgment.
Albert Anderson and Mrs. Scullion had
both become intoxicated but were dis
charged.
The cases of vagrancy against William
Wilson, Louis Phillip and Mons. Nichols
were next called. Major Anderson asked
for a continuance of the cases on the
grounds that two important witnesses for
the defense were absent and that he (coun-
sell was not feeling well.
The Court thought that a week ought to
have been sufficient time for the subpoena
ing of the witnesses, and as for the i'll
point. The Court ordered the trial to pro-
coed.
The first witness was officer Ash. He
testified that while on beat No. he had
seen Wilson, Phillips and Nichols enter
houses of i'll fame and prostitution regu-
larly at certain hours of the night he
had never seen any of them do a days
work. He had seen Wilson, who was
known as Taylor" eating breakfast in a
house at POS l. street, which Bell Taylor
Inhabited. He had also seen Phillips and
Nichols in that locality number of times
late at night.
Officers Franks, Able, Mccormick and
Deputy Sheriff Coffee testified to having
known the defendants by sight, and to hay
ing seen them in the vicinity of Second
and L streets a number of times. Officers
Franks and Able testified that Phillips had
told them when they arrested him that he
had lived with woman in house OF pros
titution because he was not able to work.
During the examination of the witnesses
Major Anderson made numerous objections
to questions which were being asked by the
City Attorney. He would seldom give a
reason for his objections, but said the rea-
sons why the questions were not proper
would transpire in the latter part of the
testimony. The Court almost invariably
oyerruleG his objections.
At the afternoon session Louise Monier
testified to having seen Wilson in or about
the domicile of Miss Taylor, and also to
have seen Nichols and Phillips in the To-
cality very often. Upon being questioned
by the Judge, she said that Manuel Dubois
has offered her $50 to leave town. Judge
Buckley, upon obtaining this information,
ordered process of Court to issue against
Dubois, made returnable next Saturday.
when the hearing of the testimony in the
cases will be resumed.
