That's what seems to he Needed in the
Cudihy Case

Again the celebrated Cudihy case has
been continued. Chestnuts become
stale after 4 time, but this one gathers
fresh interest and becomes more succu-
lent rs Il grows old.
Cudihy is charged with felonious as
sault ou a little girl in the North Iona
street school on the 18th of July, and
since that time his case has been post
DOucd about thirty times. There have
been complaints 10y the friends OF the
little girl without number, but thus far
without avail. II lsa singular case, and
why il can not bc heard and determined
as cases of such a character ordinarily
are, Is a question that Is agltatIng more
than one breast
1t is claimed by some that the fire.
quCnt poStpOnemcnts are due TO social
influence, and by others thlt political
and official influence Is bae> Of IL.
1t looks, however, little singular
that there should be such a number of
apparently unnecessary cOntnuances.
1t is SAID that the main reason for the
pOstpOncmcnts, Is that the bond OF
CUdlhy only binds him to the police
court, and that if he IS held over 10y that
court, the bOndsman VIII decline to be-
come surety for hls appearance IN the
upper court, and that his attorney is
holding the matter off until CudIhy can
either secure another bOndsman or the
case be forgotten.
