urban residences about here, underwent
a further examination before Justice In
gram to-day.

GRATED his testimony. Rudolph Hoffman,
who lives in the same house witt Frank
Masset. sworc that Masset went to bed
at ; o'clock on the night of the robbery
n slept until 5.i5 next morning.

knew this to be a fact.
The examination resulted in the ac-
quittal of both prisoners.

decision the two brothers fell upon each
others necks and burst into tears. while
the spectators gave vent TO the widest
applause.

the burglaries alleged to have been COM

Saloon-keeper Drier and his wife,.
Three men entered their sleeping apart

forced Mrs. Drier to get up and open the
safe for them and then stole $500. Dur
Ing the robbery one of the burglars,
whom Mrs. Drier spoke of as u
tall man. pulled Mrs. Drler out of bed.

large hands.
This morning Mrs. Drier examined
Yammin's hands. She declared that
Yammin's hands were not the hands of
the big burglar who pulled her out of
bed. She said she was sure of this.
There appears to be no evidence on
which to hold Yammin, and 1t is likely
he will be discharged at the conclusion
