President.

NEW YORK, March 27.-Jud Wallace,
in the United States Circuit court this
morning, handed down decision in the
case of John G. Emo, the defaulting
president of the Second National Bank,

ishment for misappropriating the funds
of the bank, and who returned to this
country few months ago.
Eno's counsel took steps to have the
case removed from the jurisdiction of
the state court claiming that the indict-
ment charged offences against the Unit
ed States law which made him amen
able only to the United States circuit
court.
The opinion of Judge Wallace upholds
the contention of Eno's counsel and the
Indictment against Emo in the court Of
the general sessions is dismissed.

Criminal Court has now under considera-
tion motion to dismiss the indictments

Mrs. Blaine and Her Boy.

NEW York, March 27.-Mrs. James G..
Blaine, Jr., and her sick son, will likely
remain in the New York hotel until the
Board of Health orders otherwise. The
application of the receiver of the hotel
property to have Mrs. Blaine show cause
why she should not vacate the apart
ments she occupies in the establishment
and why she should not be punished for
contempt of court, was argued before
Judge Lawrence in the Supreme court
this morning. The attorney for the
receiver of the hotel property recited at
length that his client was anxious to get
Mrs. Blaine out of the premises in order
that he might sell the personal property
in the four apartments she occupied.
The attorney for Mrs. Blaine, read
affidavits from three physicians to the
effect that the child is not in condition
to be removed. The attorney for the
Board of Health said the board would
probably issue permit for the removal
of the child in six days. Judge Lawrence
reserved his decision.
