SHE HANKERS TO SMOKE CIGARETTES

Perhaps the most amusing feature, if moi
the only one in connection with the Scott
dale case, was the arrest of Walter Herring
ton Yesterday by Detective Phil Demmel
The detective had been chasing his man tc
and fro for three days without catching up.
but leaving q good description with the
Youngstown police and instructions how to
act, he started for New Castle on Friday
afternoon. Herringtou's friends kept him
posted, and of course he headed at once fol-
Youngstown, where he was arrested upon
his arrival by the Ohio officers. He entered
several protests, but was locked up.
Demmel changed his train and starting
back to Youngstown arrived soon after his
quarry. Harrington showed fight and said
he would not leave the State of Ohio unless
the proper papers were procured. Demmel
tried to persuade him to forego the formality
so as to save time, but in vain, although
shown that it was only question of day
or two when he would be compelled to re-
turn. Phil Demmei was at his wits end
when with clang and rush of gamins
laughing and shouting, the Youngstown
patrol wagon turned the corner. In it was
a Hungarian prisoner bowling drunk and
most belligerently inclined.
PILLS BRIGHT IDEA WORKED.
A bright thought struck Phil. He turned
to the Chief of Police and said: fPut that
fellow in the cell with Harrington" 1t was
done, and, although the baseballist protest
ed, the demonstrative Hungarian was given
him for a room mate. The Hungarian rather
took fancy to mis- companion, and, instead
of fighting, began to caress him, which was
even more repugnant to his feelings than
hostilities would have proved.
After ten minutes Demmel sent an officer
in TO say that he was starting back TO Penn
sylvania for the necessary extraditlon papers,
when Harrington begged as a favor to go
also rather than stand another hour of the
Hungarian's society. Demmel took his
man, and had him in Pittsburg in time for
the hearing yesterday afternoon.
AT 2 o'clock yesterday afternoon Magis-
trate McKenna assembled the judgment seat
to hear che case of Frank Hill, Florence
Donaldson, Laura Bailey, Walter Harring
ton, Jacob A. BabbS and Minnie Fleming
multifariously charged with the misusing Of
May Sullivan, of Scottdale. The crowd was
a composite one, being made up of all
classes OF people, from grave to gay, among
which were three lawyers
THE LAWYERS CONSULTED.
1t was soon evident that there wouldn't
be any hearing, as the lawyers were pow
wowing, and some of the people in interest
wanted to catch the first train to McKees-
port to be in time to see the boat race, and it
was finally announced that the case would
be continued until next Wednesday after
noon at O'Clock, when some witnesses said
&c be important and non est yesterday, are
expected to be OH hand.
Laura Bailey and Florence Donaldson
furnished bail in 81, 900 each. Daniel Wei
gold becoming their bondsman. Minnie
Fleming was bailed by her father, George
Shupe, of Scottdale, for 81 900. Babbs not
being allowed to give bail before the alder
man was taken into court, and there en-
tered bail in s., 900, W. n. Porter bonds
man. Hill and Harrington were unable to
furnish bail and were committed.
HE MADE BABBs soUIRM.
The manner in which District Attorney
Porter drew out Babbs, the jeweler. yester-
day, was somewhat entertaining to all but
the witness. He acknowledged being on
the bonds of the postmaster, Collector and
four or five other bonded officials of Scott
dale, in all to the amount of $50, 900 or S40,-
600, while he had not over so per cent of
that amount in real property.
Mr.. and Mrs. Sullivan visited their daugh-
ter in the Central station yesterday, and
most affecting scene followed. The mother
was almost heartbroken, most of all to say
that she was afraid the child's fall was due
to one to whom she ought to have been most
sacred.
As further evidence of how seemingly
hopeless the case of May Sullivan is, Matron
Bremen stated last night that she has COM
menced to smoke cigarettes. After the trial
she will most probably be sent to Morganza
