PECULIAR APPEARANCE OF THE DIss DEBARs IN
CoURT-DAIL NOT FIXED.
For an instance that of necessarily short dura
tion the appearance OF the Diss Debais yesterday
before the Grand Jury In the Court OF General Ses-
sons, Part III, attracted large crowd Before IL
o'clock there little standing room left In tho
court Judge MARITIME presided Several cases Of
minor Importance disposed of and then the
clerk said. Call Ann O'Dela Solomon and Joseph II.
Diss Dollar to the bar" The Princess swept into
the courtroom with much majesty that II nearly
toppled the "GeneralD over who was following
meelhy behind. He Is always behind her; perhaps
It IS becaus no is afraid that II he should step in front
of the Princess she might fail on him. As the pair
with tho Princess In the lead stepped to the BAR every
body stood up to get good look at the fat, old me
dunn and her shadow In spite Of the naughty air
OF the Princess everybody was on broad grin Judge
MARITIME too probably did not regard 1t state occs

see He did not say what was to DO seen, but no
probably meant the circus" at least his smile ind'

look OF dignity, but he promptly said. "You are In
dIced the charge Of conspiracy and grand larceny

however, only smiled

the privilege OF withdrawing that plea in ten days
