He continues that he is advised that no
man can be legally tried in coroner's
court without heing present, if he so de-
sires, and to crOess-eXamine witnesses; that
he is in fact now on trial in the coroner's
court, and that if the verdict of the jury
should charge him with responsibility the
coroner has authority to commit him for
trial Under such circumstances the de
NAL Of the right to be present and exam
inc witnesses would deprive him of the
legal rights of an American citizen.
He says he is prepared TO prove all his
sverments and desires to produce wit
nesses and to cross examine those adverse
to him and for this reason prayed that a
writ of mandamus might issue, command
ing the coroner to permit him to be pre-
sent with counsel and examine witnesses
touching any alleged criminal negligence
of his and to adduce testimony in his own
behalf. also commanding the deputy coro-
ner to enforce order in his court and to
adopt such measures as might be required
to protect his life, which had been threat
ened.
The room occupied by Justice Bingham,
chief Justice of the District supreme court,
began to fill up with clerks who served
under Colonel Ainsworth and shortly after
the hour named Mr.. r. Ross Perry, repre-
senting Colonel Ainsworth, and District
Attorney Birney for the coroner, entered
the room District Attorney Birncy filed
a demurrer. claiming that Colonel Aims
worth's petition did not set forth any mat

Colonel Ainsworth had not been accused,
said Mr.. Birney, save by the newspapers.
There had been no charge, 1karrant or ar

consul in this city to replace Colonel Wood,

Decision at Chicago That VIII Please fgna-

CHICAGO, June IA. Judge Mcconnell
has rendered. decision against the Amer
lean Preservcr,s' trust, which may have an
import ant bearing. The decision was made
by the court in case brought by the Pre-
servers association against Andrew D.
Bishop. Of Evanston. When the trust was
organized in 1883 Bishop, who was engaged
III a canning business in this city, trans
fer1.ed his effects to the new corporation
and took stock in the concern In payment.
Later he dropped out and the association
replevined his property, amounting to
about $4,000, claiming that it belonged
to the trust and that Bishop was merely
acting as its agent. Suit was brought and
the case came up for hearing before Judge
Mcconnell.
The attorney for the defendant argued
that the trust was an illegal corporation;
that the new corporation was simply the
agent of the trust. and as the tru0 was il
legal the corporation must be illegal.
Judge Mcconnell took the same view of
the case and said No court of record
should lend its legal operations to further
the interests and carry out the purpose of
a trust. To my mind the corporation
known as the American Trust Preservers'
association is but the agent of the trust,
and as such the same illegality attaches
to it as to the principal concern" The
plaintiff was granted three days in which
to reply to the defendant. The case will
probably be appealed and taken TO a
higher court for adjudication.
