BURCHARD AGAIN.
THE MucH-MIxED CASE STILL IN
THE COUNTY COURT.
Continued on Account of the Illness of
Mrs. Burchard-A Pathetic
- Scene at Parting.


The Burchard case, that some weeks
fs8nce occaSioned any amount of trouble and
perplexfty TO the legal fraternity, was yes
terday brought into the presence of Judge
Harris, it being the day set for hearing.
Z. p. Burchard and his little daughter,
Minnie, arrived in the city from Gaines
vile, where they are now living. They
were met at the depot by W. II. Wilson,
the man who figured in the case some time
ago. He accompanied the father and Min
EBie up town, and when the three had
reached the hotel, Wilson attempted to
hand Minnie a note and some money, but
the girl let it fall to the floor Wilson sue
ceeded in getting possession of the note
and money before anyone realized what was
going on The contents of the note were
mot learned.
MIR. Burchard Immediately went before
Judge Harris and made complaint against
Wilson and the Judge issued an Injunction
restraining Wilson from interfering or
communicating with the child. The Judge
@edmonished Wilson to keep away from the
girl. that if he failed to obey the injunction
he would impose upon him the heayiess
penalty allowable by the law.
iS,a4pn account of the illness of Mrs. Bur-
achard her attorneys, Booth g. Grain, had
the case continued to the May term of
court, when the question will probably be
settled of her guardianship. The girl was
allowed to see her mother, and wept bit
kerly when taken away from her to be car
ried to Gainesville by her father.

The affair is probably an outgrowth of

which was referred to the committee on
ordinances OF the City Council. The COM

countant of Boston, assisted by the town
auditor, has been at work on the books
and accounts of j. M. Batchclder, treas
urer of this town from 1879 to 1889 The
result has just been made public, viz;
That Mr. Batchelder had taken during his
administration u sum, which, with interest
due will be somewhere near $500. IL Is
stated that the town will not lose much,a as
Mr. Batchelder has refunded to the select
men large part of the shortage.
Since 1889, when suspicious of Irregular
ity were first aroused, the authorities
have been active in probing tho matter.
In that year the treasurer was found to
hold in his hands double the amount Of
taxes which he had reported ag holding in
the previous town report. This no re-
funded, and but for his own action the
matter would have been dropped there.
He, however, put in claim for por-
tion of the money refunded and received
1t. Later, at a town meeting u commit
tee was appointed to investigate. and, as n
result, the selectmen in 1892 were given
power to put an accountant on the books.

Suspected SomeryiIle Murderer.
soMERvILLE, Mass, Sept. 30.-Richard
Powell, sullen and defiant, charged with
murder, made his second appearance yes

The first W, less examined was DIR. r.
NJ. DuiCll, the medical examiner of the
county. The doctors testimony was
mostly tee. 7ical and to the effect that the
body found was that Of negro. whose
death resulted from violence. The next
witness. Dennis Haggerty, gave an ac-
count of finding the body In his cellar
while digging to enlarge the same.
Edna Wallace, the aflianced Of the muir
dercd man, testified that on Sunday, Dec.
%, $780, she saw Powell with his sleeves
stained with blood, and that he said to her
81 murdered that d scoundrel, and
don't you dare give me away, or l will
murder you too"
