 Court House.

The Prosecuting Attorney Hissed-Law

 the Matter with Their Fists-About 76
 Witnesses summo oned and tho Trial Win
 Take Three Days.
 TRENTON, Mo-, Feb 22.-Thirteen fair rioters and three mon who aided and abetted them in the destruction of much dubious whiskey at Spikardsville, were arraigned here for trial. At 9:30 o'clock . special train arrived from Spikards- ville with the crusaders and 300 of their friends on board. They were met at the depot by 1000 Trenton sympathiz- CTS. As they alighted from the train the crusaders sang Hold the Fort, the whole crowd jolning.in the chorus. The sixteen crusaders were stood up in line and two photographers took snap shots at them.
 A procession was formed at the de- pot. with ,, 900 people in line. Rev. J. H. Cox. of the NJ. E. Church, was mar shal. The crusaders, wearing white badges, marched next to the band and carried banners with inscriptions like these: "A mothers hope, 8 sober son" "We protect our homes and children," "The will of tho majority is law" "Hear the voice of tho people" ''Whis- key must go; this is official"
 big temperance crusade lunch" was served in the Court House yard Water was the only liquor in sight. After lunch Q bitter speech was ado by the Rev. Mir. Robbins. The Rev. E. Lockhart and the Rev. J. Davis spoke in the same strain. and the prosecuting attorney came in for Q scorching all around.
 When the crusaders arrived in the court room Justice Shanklin called order, and tho culprits were arraigned before 1000 people and jury of thei r peers. All of the jurymen are residen ts of Trenton and are good citizens. The prosecuting attorney was hissed and applauded minis opening statement, and the court threatened to clear the room if the demonstrations were repeated.
 Tho first witness was Bradley Hamil- ton, owner of the building in which the club room was located. He was on the stand but few minutes, whom his evi- denco was objected to as irrelevant. Then the question whether the build ing was a nuisance was raised, and whether indtvidAls had a right to abat nuisances. There were long arguments, followed by citations from authorities. Then the lawyers became personal and engaged in hand-to-hand fight, which was stopped by the officers. The Judge took the question under advise ment and adjourned court until morn ing.
 About 75 witnesses have been sub- penaed and the trial will take two or three days. In his opening speech MT. Harber of the prosecution charged the mon of Trenton. Lathrop'an Spikards- vile with hiding behind the petticoats of the women and encouraging them to acts which the men were afraid to do,

ENGLISH ELECTIONS.

Az we elect our congress at stated m tervals of two years, we know nothing by experience of the advantages of the British system of accomn odating the time of . general election to the chang ing prospects of the party that is after whatever advantage may be gained by such action. A few weeks ago, when the O'Shea scandal was brought out against Parnsll, the British ministry were rather anxious to bring about a dissolution, for it thought that parlia- mentary election held when Parnell was weakest would result more favorably to the tories than one ct any future time before the expiration of the full parliamentary term. Mir Glad stone had shown in magazine article that tho liberals were slowly gaining strength with the people, and if the rate of growth was kept up an elsc- tion would be bigger tory defeat the more it was postponed. Since that time however, the liberals have announced their programme of "one man, one vots," and other reforms, and seem to have acquired sone new popularity. And now the Parnell commissions report, conceding the innocence of the Irish leaders of every charge except that sort of political agitation which it is begging the whole question to condemn, ha. further strengthened Gladstone's handa and made tories afraid to appeal to the country till the country shall have for. gotten that the party entered upon a prosecution which it had to admit was uncalled for. And now it is the liberals who are hot for dissolution.

 CAMDEN, N. J., Feb. 22-Leconey has rotten over tho extreme nervousness he displayed while on the stand and mas res umed his impassive air. ue occupied seat all day beside his sister, and not between her and his brother James as heretofore. This brought him closer to his counsel
 During the description by Edward Burrough of the condition of the room in the house the day of Annie's murder, the defendant evidently became very much intereste for he listened intent lv and at times leaned toward in his scat. He also stroked his face as h c did when first on the stand.
 The testimony by Mr Burrough was evidently intended to strengthen the defence. and he went into every minute detail regarding the condition of the body and what was found in the rooms. He, however, wanted to explain toe much. Two of his most important points wore regarding the finding oi footprints and spots of blood. and his testimony that Chalkley, before going West. instructed him to leave nothing undone to find tho murderer.
 There was very little outside of this going to prove Chalkley's innocence | The prosecut tion arc still very confident l of securing a conviction.
 This concluded the testimony for tn . defense and the State opened in re l buttAl. When Prosecutor Jenkin | called the first witness in rebuttal counsel for the defense objected and . lively discussion followed. Judge Gar. rison directed the jury to retire while the argument was going on. The trial however, did net proceed much further when the case was adjourned until

LAWYER AID CLIENT.

How Q Legal Man Mad. Thief Plead
 Guilty Efter AcG ;ittaL
 "The only lawyer who made his client plead guilty after bNirc acquitted was C.. M. Hardy" sad to Chica- go Tribune rero' ; happened this way:
 "A man was a"t> ,.'., tor burglary. The principal evidence az. inst him was an overcoat found in tho house, which the burglar had esiIent'y left in his hurry to get away. lA ono of the pockets of the overcoat were some printed business cards bearing this mans name, which we will call Tom Jones, furniture remover. Of course Jones was arrested; the coat was found to fit him exactly, and it looked a dead sure thing that he would be convicted. But nobody had seen tho burglar enter the house or leave 1t, and it was not diffi- cult matter to provo an alibi for tho prisoner. Of course that meant disown- ing the overcoat, which Jones promptly did. When the case came before the jury 1t was treat to hear MT. Hardy argue the absurdity of burglars "going a-burgling" with their business cards in their pockets. He didn't attempt to show how the cards happened to bo in an overcoat which exactly fitted his client, but threw tho whole thing overheard, as it were, and made the prosecution ap- pear in such D ridiculous light that the jury acquitted the prisoner after five minutes deliberation.
 But when the lawyer and his client were leaving the criminal court by the Michigan street steps it began to rain. MT. Hardy buttoned up his overcoat round his neck, and, noticing that his client was minus an overcoat, he said: Jones, you had better go back to court and bring your overcoat,' alludlng to the one which he had SO strenuously disowned few moments before.
 "The man, not wishing to get wet, turned back to get his coat, and had reached the top step before it dawned on him that to apply for the coat would be an equivalent to . confession of guilt At once rctracing his steps he overlook his lawyer at the corner of Clark street.
 "'Why, that's pleading guiltyp Jones exclaimed; when he had recovered breath.
 "'So is turning back for that coat, , rejoined his attorney; but you needn't fear-that jury wouldn't believe you and the judge couldn't
 "Jones guessed he had pleaded guilty enough already and that his coat wasn't worth muDh any way, and that he would get along without it."
