tediousness Of the trials combined TO
produce an exceedingly somniferous ei-

contagious. Every one in the room
dozed with an earnestness that would
reflect credit upon the most preten-
tious church deacon. Yesterday, how
ever. the air was just cool enough
to be inyigorsting, the Judge was

Chris Churkettle, a conductor in the
employ OF the street railway company,
stepped briskly up to the bar OF the

been put to a great deal OF trouble and
expense. 1t is now probable that the
case will be nolle pressed. Assistant
Prosecutor LaGrue asked for little
further time i'm which to investigate
the natter. with the object in view
of ascertaining whether he would nolle
pross or continue the case.
