But Judge Ball Could Not Give ii to DR..
Keables Under the Evidence.
The final hearing of the Keables case
was held in the Municipal Court this
morning. The first witness called was
Emil Dwyer, first bartender in Boerss
Hotel. He testified to having gone to
Or. Keables's house about o'clock, and
when his ring was responded to he said;
There is a lady at Boers's hotel very
sick and she wants you Immediately.
The person who responded answered: II
will be down directly" Mr.. Bird asked
if he (the witness) knew that the person
who answered him was DR.. Keables He
replied he could not swear TO 1t, but sup
posed from the conversation chat it was.
He also said that DR.. Keables did not
come to the hotel Hugh Mcconnell.
chief of police under Mayor Wales was
the other witness. He had gone to see
DIR. Keables to find out what the charges
were against him, The doctor did not
know and asked him to find out. He said
he had sat up with DIR. Keables during
his illness. and the doctor on all occasions
| denied the charges. Mr.. Bird, DIR.
Keables' counsel, then made a short
speech to the effect that DR.. Keables pro-
fessional name had been clouded by this
charge made by another man Of the same
profession, and that nothing had been
said or done to connect the doctor with
this case. He requested the Judge to
dismiss the case with a reprimand to the
one bringing those charges against
DR. Keables, City Solicitor Turner
then said: 1.-THE charges made by
DR.. Wales were made in justice to the
community, to the court and to himself
DR.. Wales could have done nothing else
under the circumstances. DR.. Wales did
not make the charges quite soon enough.
Had he made them a half a day sooner
think that the outcome of the case would
be different. ! think that it would be
well for parties having any interest in
this affair to say as little about it as pos
sible. There have been no legal connec-
ton between DR.. Keables and this case,
but it is enough to make any man stop
and consider his standing. DIR. Keables is
welcome to all, but only because / could
not make it unwelcome for him. +"
Judge Ball then said. ''Dr. Keables
stand up. / have been requested by your
counsel, Mr.. Bird, to dismiss this case
with a reprimand to the one who made
these charges against you. The prosecut-
ing gentlemen were perfectly right in
their actions l will not reprimand
| them. The case is dismissed. DIR.
Keables and Mr.. Bird left the court room
Immediately. The large crowd which
had been attracted by this case remained
to listen to the following case Of assault
and battery. Mrs. Bradley, an aged lady.
charged her husband James Bradley, with
assaulting her repeatedly. They had
been married and lived together thirty
one years. OF late her husband had been
drinking, and when under the influence
of liquor he would make cowardly as
saults upon their son, who was confined
in bed with pneumonia, and upon her.
He assaulted her yesterday and she had
him arrested.
John Bradley, when asked what he had
TO say, replied: Judgei if you will let me
off l viii never drink another drop.
Mr. Turner requested the judge to make
the sentence as large as possible as this
was a most brutal assault. Judge Ball
then sentenced him to pay fine OF $40
and costs, and TO be imprisoned for three
months.
Jacob Wolf, charged with assault and
battery on Wesley Massey, was held in
500 bail to appear at Monday mornings
session of court. Court then adjourned.
