The Preliminary Examination in the First Case is Stopped
 Midway.

The preliminary examination of $. Goodman, the commission merchant, charged with embezzlement, was begun before Justice Johnstone yesterday afternoon. The defendant was repre- scented by Messrs. Fitch & Campbell. He apparently failed to realize if it were so that his situation was 8 grave one and his handsome wife, who sat by him, was frequently as jolly as Mark Tapley often wished he could have been with proper credit for dscouraglng sur roundings.
 MT. Goodman was accused by Attor ney A. J, Daggs with having collected on an order from R. E. Daggs to whom power of attorney had been given by the complaining witness, rents amount ing to $321 for which he failed to &C., count.
 District Attorney Millay for the territory put A. J. Daggs on the stand. The investigation met an objection when the matter of the power of at. torney YVES reached.
 1.-The record is the best evidence" said Judge Campbell.
 The county recorder was sent for and while the court was waiting, District Attorney Millay, economical of time, said, Well colonel, to expedite mat ters, you won't object to so and so." "We're not here" said Col Fitch, Ito admit anything" and it transpired that the defense was preparing to question the title to the property the rent of which was alleged to have been re- tained by Goodman. A deed, however, to the complaining witness having been offered in evidence, was admitted as presumptive evidence that the property upon the defense later to show that 1t didn't.
 Several tenants from whom Goodman had collected rent were examined and testified or presented receipts from him showing that $269 had been collected. Other tenants necessary to make up the rest of the $371 charged in the con- plaint were not procurable at this hearing.
 County Recorder Sears had in the meantime appeared with Book Powers of Attorney and read a copy of the document upon whose genuineness the defense had insisted. There was then clear sailing to proper opening of the case.
 The rest of the testimony for the day consisted of statements by the Daggs brothers, in whose cross-eXamlnation 1t WAS developed that the defense would rely upon the theory that the defendant had been authorized to retain the rents as payment for debt owed him by P. P. Dsggs.
 At o'clock, though the case had nor fairly opened, the time for adjourn ment came. District Attorney Millay
 Said Col. Fitch, five already de- layed my European journey one day On account of it and do not want to wait any longer"
 ''Well, colonel" said Mr. Millay, 'I think we can dispense with your ser. vices; you have able assistance; Judge Campbell will manage the case prop erly."
 ''But," sad tue colonel, Eve col lected the fee and want to see it through; Joe might not take as much interest in 1t as if he had pocketed the fee himself"
 The case was continued until this morning.
 The defendant found himself deeper in the slough than ever on Sunday when he was confronted by an officer with a warrant sworn to by R. E. Daggs, charging him with the embezzle- ment oi $1 071, the proceeds of certain consipnments of wool
 Yesterday an attachment suit was also begun against him and his wife to recover $2619 alleged to be due on trans actions through the commission house. Two lots in Capitol addition were levied upon.
