George Aueock Goes Free While His
 Accuser Is Fined For Contempt of
 Court
 George Aucock, who was said to have swindled Peter Bertuccio out of go 50, came to the city yesterday and was cap tured by Officer Cahey. Attorney Holohan was engaged to defend him. Peter and his wife testified about send ing the money It was put in a small envelope and given to young Aucock. He went with Peter to the depot. Peter saw him substitute another envelope, or thought he did. His testimony was not connected and was scarcely convincing. Attorney Holohan argued that the money could have been changed by an employe of the Railroad company. Judge Bradstreet took this view of it and the accused was discharged. When Peter and his wife went to get their witness fees the former made the remark that It was not right to let Aucock go free. Judge Rrsdstreet warned him that such remarks were liable to a fine. Peter replied, Well, he ought to have got year or two, any way, as a man who has robbed before" Judge Bradstreet fined Peter g for con- tempt.

She became infatuated with | him and correspondence opened be- | tween the two. The letters of the girl | were produced in court and were some of the most wonderful epistles ever penned by woman. Her infatuation | carried her to such excess that in her letters she abused her father and mother and promised to do anything that Krom | might desire. She offered to marry him or not just as he wished. She promised to visit him July ?. but ar rived here June 30. She went to the | Fremont house. where Krom at that | time boarded, and waited until he came | home. He was surprised to meet her. They took walk until she said she was tired. He offered to hire a room for her, but she said he must remain with her as she was homesick. As a consequence they remained in the Franklin house as man and wife for four days. When he left to go to Ansouia he hired & room for her at 233 South Main street. There she attracted the attention of people by
 her peculiar actions. The lady from
 whom she rented the room ordered her out, because she suspected that she was | not of good character. A friend who | heard her story then hired a room for
