HEARD IN COURT.
The Suit Against the Union Railroad
Proves a Stubborn Contest.

The s250 900 suit against the Union Rail-
road Compa ny, which was commenced yes
terday before Judge Rogers is being
stubbornly contested by ali parties in
interest and will probably continue for
several days. Arguments between OPP
posing counsel are frequent. This morn
ing Mr.. Baker, during dis
pnte over certain testimony in
the Gaze, stated that though
the plaintiffs lawyers had promised to
produce drawings used in former trial
they seemed unwilling to do so. Colonel
Ballou replied to the assertion and for a
few minutes tho disputants waxed hot.
The fact that the contest will be a three
cornered one makes it ali the more bitter,
as he plaintiff is trying TO fasten the re-
sponsibility on both OF the co-defendants
while the defendants are at war with each
other and the plaintiff.

The case Of j. r. Angel for conducting
a gambling place on Dorrsnce street, that
was recently raided, caused considerable
excitement as Judge Cooke was not
familiar with the games or terms used in
q place OF this sort. The principal witnesses
for the State was Laurence Ryan and
Henry j. Brady, wh9were sent here by the
superintendent of the eastern branch of
Pinkerton's detective agency OF Boston,
whose attorney Brennan called "blsck-
mailers." The witnesses for the defendant
were he proprietor and the many assist
ants Of the place raided, who all testified
that Angel was not in any
way connected with the place.
Mr.. Brennan made an able plea for
MIR. Angel and wanted him discharged,
81 the only testimany was that of TWO
persons from outside OF the State, while
four we'll known residents OF this city
testified that his client was in no way
connected with the place. Judge Cooke
took different view of the matter and
held Angel IN the sum OF 5000 for the
action of the grand jury.
