THAT HIGK-pR1CED BABY.
The Celebrated Case Which is Now the
Star Attraction at the Courthouse.

The Celebrated Case Which is Now the
Star Attraction at the Courthouse.
The case of Lottie Lee VS.. George W.
Sheppard, now on trial for seduction in
Department Two of the Superior Court, in
which damages of $4,000 are sued for, is
creating good deal of excitement among
our colored citizens, and, incidentally,
among the large body of gentlemen who
are regularly employed in the different
offices in the Court house and hordes of
people who take an interest in any case in
Court which is - outside of the usual run"
Mrs. Cooper, the mother of the plaintiff,
was the principal witness on the stand yes
terday. She testified that the plaintiff had
confessed to her that the defendant was the
cause of her Iuin.
Mrs. Coopers testimony closed the case
OF the prosecution.
The first witness called for the defense
was Senator Dray, who was asked as to
the defendants character for honesty, in
tegrity and chastity. Counsel for the pros
ecuton objected, on the ground that hon
esty and integrity had naught to do with
the case in Court. The Court sustained
the objection, and the counsel for the de-
tense changed his question to inquire
merely into the question of the chastity of
the defendant.
Counsel for the prosecution again inter-
posed an objection, and the Court deferred
the ruling on the question until the after
noon session.
AT the afternoon session the objection to
the question asked the last witness was
sustained by the Court
Ernest Small testified as to the action of the
colored Odd Fellows Lodge on the charge
made against defendant of seducing plain
Tiff in this case. An effort was made to
show by this witness that plaintiff made
before the said lodge statements which
were at variance with her testimony in this
case.
General Hart, counsel for the defense.
produced the first ripple of excitement
during the day by declaring that the de-
tense would make the claim that Cyrus
Cooper, step father of the plaintiff, was
himself the father of the plaintiffs child.
The evidence in the case would not make
reading matter such as would naturally be
looked for in paper which is welcomed at
the hearthstones of our most refined homes,
and 1t IS therefore not given in detail in
these columns.
The evidence was concluded at yester-
days session, and the arguments in the
case will be made to-day.
