iinuatlou from yesterday and was dis
missed for want OF sufficient evidence 70

Opera Hotel, was put upon the stand but
nothing was elected from him In the
way OF evidence except thai he was sent

said he did not think there was sufficient
In the testimony to warrant sending the

spoke Of the great annoyance the charge
has been 10 his client, aud OF the Injury
II has he 10 him In his business rela-
tons. He appealed to the Court not
only to dismiss the case but TO dismiss 1t
with a reprImand TO those who brought
the charge.

that be had no objection TO dismissiug
the case, but only because the evidence
could not to produced 10 con-
Wet but, he was unwilling for It
10 be dism ssed with reprimand.
Had he been able to have produced the
woman the case might have had differ

sued the proper course, only II he had
waited . half hour longer there would
have been no lack Of evidence TO put q
different face TO the case. The deiendeut
was welcome 10 q dismissal; yes, he 10
wei, ONE TO all he has got, repeated Mr..
Turner.
Judge Ball in dismlssing the case said
he could not do It with reprimand. lie

John Bradley was arraigned ct the
Municipal Court this morning charged
by his wife, CathArlne Bradley, with as
sault and battery. Her relation OF her
sufierings were given In such q manner
that everybody believed her. She stated
that they had been married So years, had
children, the oldest Q son, being 20
years OF age and was married. Her hus-
band, she said, wac all right when he
was sober, but for long time past he
got 10 drinking, spending his money and
bringing but little of It home for the
support Of the family. For the last two
weeks he had been almost continuously
in brutal state Of intoxication. Yes er-
day he got offended at sick son, who
was not able to be out of bed, because
the boy requested him not to abuse bis
mother.
He picked up chair and insi.ted upon
striking the boy, ard was only prevented
from doing so by Mrs. Bradley throwing
herself In front OF him aud receiving the
blow intended for the boy. He then got
hold of the stove poker and struck her
several blows with It. She ran out in the
alley screaming, and he followed her
still, striking her with the poker. This
was only one OF the numerous times he
aDubtu ucF huu Utub Htfs QUO bhiu uuc

could get al uug much better without
him, as be did not contribute enough TO
the family to keep himself.
