IN THE CIRCUIT COURT.
4 Prosecuting Witness Fails 10 Appear.
An Interesting Civil suit.

An Interesting Civil suit.
Both parts of the Circuit Court we're in
session yesterday and the proceedings
had in each were quite interesting. In
Part |, before Judge PAUL, the case Of
the State VS.. John McDonough, was put
on trial. McDouough was indicted two
or threeterms ago for grand larceny. 1t
appears that one John McCardle Of, Glen
Easton, came to this city got drunk and
was robbed ui quite a SUN of money; he
charged McDonOugh with the oAense
and the indictment was found. Me-
CaFlle came in on the earl y train yes
terday to serve as the prosecuting wit
ness, He reported 10 Prosecutor How.
ard and at that time was in good
condition. At9:30 o'clock, a Jury hay
ing been chosen audeyerything being in
readiness, MCCardle was called;
there was no response aud
thinking he might have mistaken the
court room his name was called in Part
II. A wait OF about an hour ensueG, at
the end of which time it was learned
that MCCardle was doing the saloons,
Mr.. Howard at once asked that the pris'
oner bo discharged, which was done,
About noon MCCardle again reported to
Mr.. Howard aud had the riotaCt read to
him.
Judge PAUL sustained the motion
made by Julia Chlsnell's attorneys on
Saturday, to quash the indictment for a
misdumeanOr against her.
In Part II, before Judge Campbell,
the case OF Wilbur G. Jacobs vs.. KleYis
Kraft & Co.'s, in assumpsit, was put on
trial before u jury composed Of tue fol-
lowing named citizens; William Ray,
Henry Rine, Q, NJ, Rodgers, William +,
Caldwell, John Smith, ir,, Wesley Bow
man, j. L. Nichols, John 4, Ehberts,
Il, X, GiIIen, +, r, WingertUr, Charles
Beuter and K. I. Ford.
The case is one in which about s., 800
is Involved. Measrs, W. L. Hubbard
and II. NJ. Russell are attorneys for the
firm, while Messls Jacob, Sunmerville
and Pendlcton represent Mr., Jacobs.
The case will probably be on for three
or four days.
