THE HEARING ADJOURNED.
The Chicago Bedding Co. Affairs Not
Aired Today
(From Thursdays Daily }

under arrest charged Win cOnSplIlHS
to burn the plant of the Chicago Bed
ding company and with arson. The
hearing was to be before Justice Slater,
but there was no hearing. At about
10 O'Clock the center of interest of the
city seemed to be the little justice shop
next the postoffice. 1t seemed likewise
to be the shrine toward which all til e
legal talent Of the city was attracted.
By that hour there were very few law
ers in Kenosha, in fact only one was
noted, who were not present. The at
torneys who appeared for the defense
were F. F. Reed, of Chicago, Cava-
nagh & Fisher and D. Conway Lloyd.
The state was represented by District
Attorney Buckmaster and j. v.
Quarles, of Milwaukee.
1t took a long time to get down to
business. The case had been called
for o'clock. Promptly at that hour
Barney I. Bloch, George S. Perren and
Louis jacobson appeared on the scene
unaccompanied. In moment Frank
Schaefer appeared and at 10 o'clock
Chief Stemm brought Abraham Levine
in. Isaac Robinson who came up We'd
nesday evening and was placed under
bonds, was allowed to return to Chica-
90 by stipulation of the attorneys, and
Bernard Rosenow is being taken care
of by the detective in Chicago. He is
not being seen by any one and is out
of the reach Of every one to remain
until such time as it is absolutely nee
cessary that he be produced in court.
Detective Cowie appeared on the
today AMI for time was very
close to the scene Of action, but as yet
he has not been seen by the defense.
That set of gentlemen has expressed
it's desire to see him, but Mr.. Cowie is
not hunting them up to exhibit him
self
For several minutes the attorneys sat
as around a camp fire while Mr.. CaVa-
nagh sprung some of his legal funny
isms. Along about 1870 o'clock Mr..
Quarles came in and then all got their
heads together for few moments and
held a consultation. Mr.. Lloyd did not
participate. Finally Mr.. Quarles, on
the part of the state, stated that it
seemed to be agreed all around that it
would be proper to adjourn until Aug.
5. This brought Mr.. Lloyd up. He
objected. He was ready for the hear
ing and he wanted it. His client was
in jail and could not furnish bonds. It
was an outrage to keep him there.
Mr.. Lloyd agreed to the adjournment
later on provided Justice Slater would
place the bonds Of Levine at $500. -And
this was agreed to. Then the adjourn
ment was taken to August 5 by the slip
ulation Of all the attorneys.
Been Some Close Watching.
There has been some very close
watching and good detective work done
on this big case on both sides, especial
ly with reference to the movements of
Under Sheriff Harkins, who went to
Springfield, ILL.,, after the necessary eX-
tradition papers. From the time Mr..
Harkins left here he was closely shad-
owed by some one in the interests of
Robinson and Jacobson, the Chicago
men. 1t will be remembered that these
two men announced that they would
fight extradition. Singularly enough
there was not the slightest hesitancy on
the part of Gov. Altgeld in granting
the necessary papers as soon as Mr..
presented his requisition for
them. This fact the fellow found out
who was shadowing Mr.. Harkins and

cago.
all the men in Chicago, including
Messrs. Cavanagh and Perren, we're
being watched and Swallowed by Mr..
Cowie He learned that habeas corpus
papers were out signed by Judge Bren-
tano for these two men, jacobson and
provided they were arrested.
They did rot propose to come up here
under arrest, if they could help it, and
u0lUuOI OOWlO uOl dCtlhIuS WOI0 duA-
ious they should, so long as they got
here. AS soon as Cowie learned OF
these habeas copus papers, he FASTENED
to find Rarkins, and together they
planned to outwit the court in case the
men failed to board the train for Keno
5ha. Cowie Swallowed the men to the
train and found Harkins there, kept
him from serving his papers and
Swallowed the man with the habeas
corpus papers.
Mr.. Harkins got into Chicago on
the 5 p. N. train and all the men
boarded the sos p. N. train for Keno
sha. Then all seemed to be working
well, SO to make matters doubly sure
Cowie and Harkins FASTENED to the
telephone Office ano notified Sheriff
Cropley to be sure to be at the train to
meet them and place them under ar
rest. This Mr.. Cropley did. Then
Messrs. CoWie and Harkins came up
