Grand-Modjesisa in "CamiI


Between weeping with Modjeska's Cam

almost great a task did the actors in

THE Celebrated Case given before
Lent, was far better received. The younger
Thespians have grown more accustomed
to their surroundings before the footlights,
and entered into their parts last night very
much like old stagers They showed a re-
markable eagerness to improve in elocu-
tionary attainments, and several promising
readers can be readily picked out in the
cast. While this is. OF course, greatly due
to the experienced instruction of Lloyd and
Lorraine, 1T shows the young candidates
have the necessary gift and the good Judg-
ment to rely on the superior knowledge of
their teachers.
Mr.. Lorraine took the leading juvenile
part of Arthur, which was surprise TO
those who expected to see him in a deep,
dark, villain role, and showed clearly his
versatility by so doing. With his perfect
coStumng and artistic mannerlSTnS, he gave
the disguised hero original and popular
coloring that stamps his work as that OF
true artist and ,i an actor OF really eS f
career has been alluded to before, was
strong in the part of Lonstlot, shining
rather too pronouncedly at times in the
presence of his less gifted pupils, and. with
the enthusiasm of a much younger man,
gave his scenes a zest that provoked the
heartiest applause. Herman Frey assumed
a heavy role in that of the Commander, but
was admirably equal to the occasion, while
Bert Hunter and 7. III. Sullivan were well
suited to the parts Of Father Lesurges and
Jaquot.
Miss Ada Metzger as lively Couchin, a
hoydenish country lass, was cast just to
her liking, and exemplified it by her taking
soubrette work. 1t was a struggle between
her and Willis Scudder as Pierrot who
should win the greatest number of encores.
Scudder shows a readiness to fall into
comedy parts that is, however, no surprise
to those acquainted with his ability. Miss
Kate Ward sustained the leading female
roll. with much commentator, really sur
prising herself and coming out decidedly
strong at times. Miss Peaze Ward gave a
chaste dignity to Margaret, and Gertie Nor
gan carefully and acceptably portrayed the
Marchioness. During the evening Miss Ma
bel Glenn and ]. Fremont Frey gave vocal
solos that were well appreciated by the
large audience.

several vicious lunges at him with a
knife. His testimony was discredited
by three witnesses who swore that
when Holt made his appearance the
knife was in the hands of "Jack :"
Lucas, and therefore it was impossible
for Bennett to have made the alleged
assault.
Another native officer named Kapoi
told a story that conceded with
Hollis. The Court afterwards proved
that it placed as much reliance in his
statement as it did in his brother
officers. Several witnesses testified
that Bennett did not make an attempt
to assault anyone in the crowd,
although he was pursued with sticks
and clubs. They also stated that the
two police officers mentioned remain
ed in the rear and encouraged the
natives to assault Bennett.
Jack Lucas then took the stand
and related what he knew of the
trouble. He explained how he ap-
preached Bennett and how willingly
he surrended the knife.
In his statement he said that the
policemen lied when they said Ben
nett attempted to assault them with
the knife.
The Judge in deciding the case said
that he would accept Mr.. Lucas ver-
sion of the trouble and Bennett was
declared not guilty on the charge of
assault.

He claims that he picked the
revolver from the ground and
when asked for it by McTaigue
he gave it up without hesitation. He
also states that he only stood by and
took no part whatever in the assault
committed on the guard. His effront-
cry receives a set back by the testi-
mOny of both of his pals. According
to Naone's story, Ryan approached
him on last Monday and unfOlded the
plan of escape. 1t was to be carried
out on the following day during the
noon hour, when everybody would be
eating. There was a hitch in the
proceedings because 10y refused to
act. In explaining the plan, Ryan
told Naone that they must sit near the
guard and at favorable moment all
three would jump him, aud in the
scutfie they would get possession of
the pistol. Ryan told them not to
have any fear, as he was crack shot
and he would do the shooting. The

an easy matter to remove their chains,
and illustrated his remarks by placing
a rock wedge in one of the links of
the chain attached to NaOne, and by
striking a couple of blows with a
hammer spread the link. Later on,
when an explosion was about to take
place and the men were in a cave for
shelter, Ryan tried to remove their
shackles, but had not succeeded in
doing so when the order came for the
men to return to work. Shortly
after the lunch hour was at hand and
Ryan gave the word to jump the
guard. They did so, and while the
struggle was going on Ryan fired the
shot. This scared Naone and he quit
fighting. Then the guard got on his
feet and approached Ryan, who had
the revolver leveled at him. The
guard made demand for his pistol
and Ryan weakened and handed it
over.

mains in port. During working hours
he makes many trips up town, aud the
supositiOn is that lie does not take
these short walks for his health. 1t
seems that he is not bothered when
ever he passes out the gate, and ac-
cOrding to story told by a laborer on
the dock, he wheeled a barrow out the
main entrance to the wharf on last
Saturday. 1t was supposed to contain
refuse, and the chances are that all the
eyes could see was refuse, but beneath
the covering something more valuable
than garbage was hidden.
On last Tuesday morning Ben
walked down the gang plank of the
Australia with empty hands. He
started for the head of the wharf, but
noticed policeman who was standing
at the gate. He then wheeled around
and walked out gate which leads to
the Inter. Island wharf. In the mean
time the pOliceman's suspicious were
aroused, and he followed Bennett, who
took a roundabout way and finally
reached the bOileT-rOOm of Lucas
mill. While all this was going on the
officer was blowing his whistle and
did not desist until a very large crowd
of people was attracted. The pur-
sued man left his hiding place which
was entered by the policeman who
found twelve tins of opium that were
supposed to have been dropped by Ben
nett.
The alleged smugglers trouble was
not over at this juncture, and, as he
walked down Fort street toward the
wharf a bowling mob was at his
heels. Some men in the mob were
armed with truck stakes and other
dangerous weapons, and it looked for
awhile as though Bennett would be
dubbed to death. He had a knife in
one hand and paint scraper in the
other. The police officers were afraid
to approach him for fear of being cut
into mincemeat, and finally "Jackn
Lucas forced his way to where Bennett
was and asked him for the knife. 1t
was Immediately given up, and then
a policeman walked bravely up and
placed Bennett under arrest. He was
charged with having opium in his
possession, and later an additional
charge, that of an assault with a
deadly weapon on Officer Holi, was
entered against his name.
Bennett was in Court yesterday for
his preliminary examination. The
charge of smuggling went over until
next Tuesday, but the CHARGES are
