THE BURcHARD EMBKoeLIo.
Complications Galore Attend This Re
r1arkahle Case

Complications Galore Attend This Re-
markable Case.
The celebrated habeas corpus Burchard
case, which has eugendered a conflict be-
tween the county and district courts, de-
veloped a new phase yesterday. The case
lsean now be stated to be upside down, with
or without care. A complaint was made in
Judge Beckham's court by Byron G. John
son, attorney for the child, ayerring that,
contrary to the order of the court, E. p.
Burchard and his counsel, Judge Q. j. Boy
kin, were endeavoring to modest the little
girl, Minnie Burchard. Writs of attach
fHent for the bodies of Judge BoylKin and
4 =. p. Burchard to show cause why they
Should not be punished for contempt, were
issued and made returnable instanter.
Sheriff Richardson testified that late Mon
day afternoon County Judge Harris issued
an order, in effect I duplicate of his proceed
ing one, directing him to deliver the child to
the father in accordance with the agreed
Judgment. This he was trying to do yesterday
morning, and had sought out the father for
that purpose, but they were unable to find
her, as she and her mother had flown,
whittier heecould not say; that no injunc
ton had been issued up to that time.
Burchard, who is foreigner and man of
very genteel appearance, was then placed
fDftne stand and testified in answer to
questions propounded by Judge Beckham
sistant counsel, that he had not been APP
prised of the tendency of the injunction
and acted wholly in line with advice of
counsel. Judge Beckham remarked that
trifling with his orders was no incense
nueHtial matter and that be proposed to il
fier punishment on any man VINO was
paity to the proceeding. Judge Boykin
then came into the courtroom and at first
desired until to-day to make a sworn an
swer, but afterwards, on consulting with
Judge Stewart, waived this and asked to
be sworn. He protested that he had no
desire to disebey the orders of the court,
for which he entertained profound re-
spect, that he did not know an injunction
had issued. Judge Beckham interrupted
him by asking if he the judge, had not in
formed hin when he appeared in the habeas
'Oerpus Nearing that what he set up was no
answer TO that proceeding, and that he
would hear him on q motion to dissolve the
injunction, petition for which had then
been filed. To this Judge Boykin re-
joined that he supposed from the
time that had elapsed that Judge Beck
ham had abandoned the idea of issuing the
writ of injunction. That in behalf of his
client, Burchard. he would say that he had
no iptimation of the fact that such pro-
ifetfi4hg as an injunction was contemplated.
Judge Beckham decided that under the cir
cumstances he would discharge Burchard,
but that he desired further testimony with
regard to Judge BoyllIn's connection with
the attempt to regain possession of the
child. and would postpone the hearing of
the matter until this morning at 9 O'Clock.
And thus the matter stands. The case bids
fair to be the most anomalous on record.

An elopement occurred Monday evening

Pennington, an employe of the electrical de-
partment Of the city waterworks, and Miss
Tanner, the fifteen-year-old daughter of Fl.
Tanner, proprietor of Main street fish
market. On account of the young ladys age
the parents objected to Herrington's suit,
but the young people decided to take mat
tiers IN their own hands and accordinglf
planned an elopement. a hack was hired
and they started for Handley, Intending
to take the east-bound Texas Pacific.
Mr.. Tanner, the father OF the voting
lady had in the meantime learned of the
elopement. He boarded the train which
they were TO take at Handley, but when he
arrived al the station the young people saw
him first and ordered the hacn driver to lay
the whip 70 his team This he did, and the
irate father was left at the station. A
brother Of the young lady was
following on horseback, however, and
arriving at this iuneture, Immediately set
out after the fugitives and overhauled them

offered to lend 50 on the watch. They in
formed him they didn't wish loan on

A Woman Attempts to Shuttle on This
Mortal Coil.
An attempted case Of suicide occurred
late Monday night at the Avenue hotel.
The person who made the attempt was
Mrs. F. NJ. Crowley, the wife Of farmer
and stookman at Denton. They had been
married about four years, and two weeks
ago she left her husband and came to Fort
Worth, obtaining employment at the or
phans' home. She afterwards left there
and wen TO the Avenue hotel. Her hus-
7pHhd came to this city searching for her
and found her at the above mentioned no.
tel He had talk with her, and she finally
asked him for % cents with which to pro
cure headache medicine. She left the no.
tel, returned il short time, and was after
wards found insensible in her room. Medi-
cal assistance was called. and she was
finally pronounced out of danger. The rea-
son she assigns for her conduct is that her
husband treats her unkindly. The unkind-
ness lies in the fact that Mr.. Crowley de-
sires u son by former marriage to live
with him. while Mrs Crowley seriously OBJ
iects to this, on the ground that she does
not like the young man.
