not sworn to before the Magistrate instead
Of the Clerk of the Police Court and cited
authorities, but Judge Henshaw said later
authorities than the one cited did not COIN
eide with the attorneys view, and held that
the point was not valid. He also denied a
continuance on the ground that the defense
should have had its witnesses present, if it
had any, as the case had been set ten days
ago. and ample time given. A demurrer
was made to the complaint on the ground
that it did not describe with sufficient detail
the property alleged to have been stolen.
This was also denied. The witnesses were
excluded at the request of the defense. and
Mrs. Friedman identified the defendant as
one of the men who was near her shortly
before the money was stolen from her
pocket. The attorney for the defense con-
fused her somewhat by his cross-examina-
ton, but there were five other witnesses
who gave corroborating testimony. A re-
quest was made for reduction Of the bail
to $780, but it was denied. Then another
request that the SIT taken from the prisoner
at the time of his arrest was denied, Judge
HeDshaw remarking that if 1t be restored to
any one it should be restored to Mrs. Fried
man. 1t is believed to be the money taken
from Mrs. Friedman. as it is the amount
she had in the purse which was found in the
car near where Ulrieh was captured.
