GUS efforts have been made to procure
the removal of Chief Justice Wright, of
Arizona, but no one could be found
to put the complaints against him int o
proper shape. Formal charges, however,
duly signed and sworn to, have at last
reached Washington and an investigation
has been ordered. The principal accu-
sation, it is said, is that the Chief Justice
over-rode the laws of the Territory in
several cases, and that he has way Of

ALLEGED BIGAMIST SET FREE.
Interesting Point of Law Decided in the Case
of Former Resident of Indianapolis.

CHICAGO, July 25.-The trial of Emil
Frederick Werner, for bigamy, before
Judge Mcconnell this afternoon. came to
sudden end. After the State had closed
its case. attorney StOrch entered motion
that the court instruct the jury to
return a verdict of not guilty, in
which he was sustained. A num-
Der of interesting points were in
volved in the case, and especially the
question of how far the rule that
ignorance of law is no excuse for crime
may be carried. Werner was married
to his first wife, Karoline Werner, at Phil
adelphia, in 1863 He left her in 1883, came
to Chicago, secured a divorce from her in
ried Annie Bechler in April. 1885. His first
wife began proceedings in the Superior
Court of Cook county to set the di-
vOrce aside on the ground that it
was fraudulently obtained, no notice
having been sent to her, and the charges
of infidelity made against her being false
The Superior Court refused to set aside the
the Appellate Court handed down de-
cision reversing the decision Of the Superior
Court. On the strength of this Werner was
nell stated he did not believe
that the doctrine of ignorance of the
law being no excuse for attractions
of it should be carried so far that a man
should be sent to the penitentiary for act
ing upon the faith of decree which SO
respectable authority as the Superior
Court Of Cook county had declared to be
good. He, therefore, instructed the jury to
bring in a verdict of not guilty, which they
did without leaving their seats.

CIVIL SERVICE EXAMINATIONS.
Large Numbers of Persons Seeking Places
in the Postal Service in Various Cities

Large Numbers of Persons Seeking Places
in the Postal Service in Various Cities.
WASHINGTON, July 25.-The civil service
rules require that examinations for clerks
carriers and other persons employed in the
postoffices throughout the country shall be
held twice in each year. The second ex-
animation for the present year occurs on
the 9th of August next. From present indi-
cation the number of persons who will be
examined is very large, and it will require
a long time TO complete the examination in
several of the cities where the applications
are very numerous. In New York city
alone about 2.4O0 people will be examined
for positions in the postal service. AS the
accommodations of the local examining
board in New York city will admit of the
examination of only about one hundred
persons a. day it will require all the work
ing days in a month to complete the exam
nation. In Philadelphia about eighty per-
sons can be examined each day, and the
applications for examinations run so high
that it will also require about twenty-five
days to complete the examination. A large
number of persons will be examined, also.
in Chicago. Different sets of questions
have TO be provided for each days exami-
nation. and the amount of labor involved
in their preparation is enormous.
The Clvll-service Commission has about
decided to request the President TO modify
the rules relating to the railway mail
service so as TO make printers, who may be
needed in the service, exempt from COM
petitive examinations.
