The case of Mrs. Marie Dornbach. wife
OF Mr.. James Dornbach. the architect,
arrested week ago on complaint
of Mrs. Mary Long. neighbor, and
charged with threatening to KILL" came
up in Justice Miller's conrt and occupied
nearly the entire dav. The testimony in
the case was spicy and bordering on the
sensational. and accordingly the court
was literally packed by crowd of
tramrs. loungers and interested
persons. Mrs. Long testified that Mrs.
Dornbach. who is a small, dark-haired and
black-eved woman. had wilfully and with
out provocafion set vicious dog on her;
that the dog attacked her, nearly Knocked
her down, and that the defendant further
got large revolver the biggest she ever
saw. and pointing it at her in the act of FIR
ing. said. "come another step and I will
shoot you" A half dozen witnesses, all ex-
cept one being women, alleged eye-wit-
nesses. testified TO the same state of affairs
with few exceptions, rs claimed by the
plaintiff. The defendant had no witnesses
except her husband. She swore that the
two women were trespassing on her prop
erty in walking across it. and that the plain
tiff called her vile names and HAD made
previous threats. That she set the dog on
her to make her get away. She thought
she heard Mrs. Long saw that if she had q
revolver she would kill something; she
didn't know whether she ment herself or
her dog, but to make sure she went into the
house. got her husbands empty revolver
which had just been cleaned and took it
out on the porch to scare them away, but
did not point the weapon at the plaintiff.
The defendant contradicted good deal of
the evidence given by the prosecution, and
it was evident either some one was COM
hitting perjury or they were '.rattled'
from excitement and saw things in differ
ent way. Owing to thelateness of the hour
at the time of the closing of the testimony,
the justice postponed hearing the argument
until next Tuesday at O'Clock D. m.

Whitechapel beat the night beSSre,
heard the men telling how they hN
''rolled" and robbed a drunken siwash,
and were also planning for further depre-
dations. No damaging testimony has as
yet been secured against them, however,
but the officers are on the alert and think
they have caught clever trio of pro-
fessionel thieves.
In Justice Rivers court, the attorney for
Brown, the faro dealer, arrested in the
Budweiser saloon. on charge of gambling,
moved for a continuance of the case until
Tuesday next. which was granted. The
