UNDER ARREST.
Several Men Charged With Frauds
Landed in Jail.

Judge Wallace Is going to have some
warm work over the election fraud eases.
III things go on at the present rate he will
have his hands full for many months to
come. AS it is now, there is matter on
hand before him at present that must oc-
cupy his attention well on into the new
year.
The Louis Cohn case, adjourned from
Monday last, was on the calendar yester-
day. but as a decision has not yet been
handed down from the Supreme Court in
the Steinberger contempt case, it was
agreed by Attorneys Clunie and NOugues
that postponement should be taken until
Monday next. 1t was also agreed to con-
iinue The main action, that of c. j. Still
well against the suffers, until that time.
His Honor then inquired whether any
return had been made upon the warrants
issued OIL Tuesday morning for the arrest
of Martinez, Buckley, Butler and Conroy,
the election officers of the Tenth Precinc
of the ThIrty-ffth District. who are
charged with falsltying the returns from
that quarter. 1t was represented TO Judge
Wallace that Butler and Conroy had been
arrested on the previous evening and that
Buckley had surrendered himself that
morning.
Very we'll, gentlemen" said the Judge.
''let US proceed at once with the prellmin-
airy examination Of these men,"
j. j. GuilfOyle, however. the attorney
retained for the defense said he was not
ready to proceed. He demanded a con-
iinusnce until to- morrow, Friday. Clunie
and NOngues made no objection and the
continuance was granted.
Inquiries were then made regarding
Martinez, The inspector of the precinct,
and the only one of the four who had not
answered TO the warrant.
Colonel j. OByrne was present in
court and answered the inquiries with a
statement TO the effect that he had made
an engagement 30 meet Martinez that very
morning for the purpose of securing
bondsmen. He himself was ready to be-
come one Of the sureties. No continuance
was sought, said 0Byrne, ana as soon as
Martinez made his appearance be would
be ready for examination. In fact. an
immediate hearing was what he most
anxiously sought.
Andy Clunie smiled when he heard this
last assertion. "All right, sir" he cheer
fully remarked. IF you are ready to pro-
coed so are we. As soon as Martinez
comeslet us proceed without delay"
Judge Wallace agreed to this with alac
rily. but O'Byrne thought better of it and
said he thought after all it would be as
well to let this case 90 over until Friday
with the others. So a continuance was
taken until Tomorrow morning.
Last night a Deputy Sheriff was ont
looking for Inspector Martinez, while his
three companions of the booth were lying
In the County Jail awaiting the result of
the efforts of their friends to find bonds
men. at 9 o'clock one of these friends ar.
rived at the Jail and told Buckley that
bondsmen had been secured, but that it
was difficult 10 get any Judge to accept the
bonds, as the officials were fearful of
seeming to interfere in a case In which
Judge Wallace's wishes should be re-
spected. The bearer Of these tidings did
not explain why Judge Wallace himself
had rot accepted the sureties. and the
jailers thought he was only trying TO
bolster up the drooping spirits OF his
friends. At all events the men stayed in
Jail and the Deputy Sheriff continued to
