came up in police court this morning
counsel prosecuting did not appear. and

Mr. Chase, as prosecuting attorney,
asked that instead Of dismissing the
case it be put over until the week after

his decision in accordance with Mr..
Chase's wish
When Mr. Meegan heard Of this
change he hurried back to court and
made objection. The police justice then
sent for Mr.. Chase and there was
quite a spirited argument Mr.
Meegan argued that the case was
already before the upper court, the

ments Of a similar nature could not be
found. The district attorney had said
the case should be dismissed
Mr.. Chase said that il was not known
what the indictment Of the grand jury
contained. Mr.. Aeegan said that il it
was so he would subpoena the district

panys works, against the Pullman Pal
ace Car company, was begun by Judge
Wales at ll.36 this morning, in the

Bird. Esq, represented the plaintiff.
He said in part: when death occurs
by neglect Of employer the employe is
entitled 10 damages Harl1ins was
common laborer and had been in the EN-
ploy of the company but a few days.
Prior to his employment with this com
pany he had worked in morocco shop.
On the day he was killed he had
been transferred TO work in the room
In which the machinery that
caused his death was According to
testimony Harkins did not fully realize
the danger Of the sport. He was pre-
sumably as innocent as child Of the
dangers connected with Il. II the shaft
had been boxed the accident would not
have happened The employer is bound
TO furnish the servant with reasonable
cautions for his pr0teotio.l. II Is con
ceded that unprotected shaftlng Is
dangerous, and as customarily 20 box or
fence of such. II you consider that II
was negligence on part Of the company,
then she is entitled to damages II, on
the contrary, you consider that the
accident was caused by the negligence OF
Harkins, then no verdict can be given.
IL was the duty Of the defendant,
being the master, to provide q reasonably
safe place in which to work, and that
this being a duty devolving upon the de-
fendant could not be delegated by IL 10
any co-employe so as TO relieve IL from

MORE STAINS FOUND.
There are Few Developments I'm the
Mysterious Dugan Murder Case.

Mysterious Dugan Murder Case.
There are few developments today in
the Dugan murder mystery. The police
and city and state detectives are using
their united efforts in following upa clue
which is expected to throw considerable
light on the crime
About o'clock last evening a confer.
ence between Mayor Wiley, Chief of
Police Frances, Deputy Attorney General
Giles. City Detectives Hawkins and
Hatton and State Detectives McVey and
Witsil was held in the Office Of the city
detectives After the meeting a warrant
was made out in blank form
Crowds numbering nearly 3, ono visited
the held in which the girl was found yes
terday. The persimmon tree under which
she lay was literally cut TO pieces by the
visitors. Everyone secured twig or
piece Of bark as a reminder of visit to
the scene Of the murder.
The land on which the body lay pitches
toward the woods to the south and is so
hemmed in that it is hardly possible that
cries of the girl could be heard very far
away, not even at the nearest house or
on the nearest road In going TO the
scene from any direction the murderer
and his victim would have to cross two
fields aud chamber over two or three
fences. IL is hardly possible that tho
young woman would visit such a place
except by compulsion. With this thought
in mind an examination of the ground
over which she must have been carried
or dragged there while unconscious by
some one who had deliberately planned
to cut her throat
Katie kept in utmost secrecy the meet
ings with the man who ruined and after.
ward killed her. Her sister Lizzie,
shared all her other secrets, but this one
was not confded TO her. On Saturday
evening she expressed desire to be
alone with her older sister, Alice. and
would have undoubtedly confessed her
sin if the opportunity presented. She
did inform her sister that she would
write her when she reached Philadel-
phia and tell her great secret That
postponement proved fatal, as she was
struck down and murdered before
another opportunity had been offered,
permitting her to tell the name Of her
betrayer
She carefully destroyed all letters re-
ceived on the sly or by subterfuge OF
feminine address, except the one signed
Jack" This disguised scrawl may yet
prove powerful ally in bringing the
writer 20 justice It's discovery foiled
at once the evident intention OF the
murderer, as seen in the arrangement
Of the body and spot where placed, t.
give rise to a suspicion OF assault and
attempted outrage. The evidence Of heI
sin then made clear the object.
Detective Hatton has dug trench
about ten inches deep where tho body
lay when found. Directly under wher'
the large pool Of blood was, the ground
was saturated to a depth Of eight inches
In other places within a distance Of two
feet blood could be noticed from five e
six inches in depth.
This morning there were blood mark
found on the rails Of the fence, tina
would have undoubtedly been climbed b,
the murderer in carrying his victim I
! where she was fOuud
