IS OUT OF JOINT
BILL CAMPBELL MACHINE SLIPS
S6VFRAL GOES.

Explain but Judge Reed Eu:es Him Oct
Witness Who Did Not Know Beer in
this Couniry but Did In the Old
Country.
The Kunkie liquor case occupied the
attention Of Judge Reeds cour. all day
yesterday. Campbell told the court be-
lore the case was commenced trat il
would only take about half day TO try
All the cases but it has already listed
two days.
Tie chief interest yesterday centered
IN the testimony of Judge Hatton IL.
Campbell had previously nade his
erags that hey would beat Charles Hat
ton for the district judgeship by a ma
'ciity OF one thousand votes. aad it was
very naturally supposed that there was
politics in the. Subpoena ISSUED for
Judge Hatton. Just who Mr Campbell
meant by We ths gentlemen who heard
the remark could not tell, but he was
supposed to mean the law and order
league when he used the pronoun we.
Some of the OLD soldiers were indig-
na.at when they heard 81 this threat Of
Tiger Bill and they some tines ex-
to:-cibie than elegant. ana some of them
declared that ar. Campbell Was not on
~ lighting brave Charley Hatton. but
TIE nine MOUTHS that he was compelled
tofurhish bread for.
there was a broad sInne Of satisfac-
ton on the faces IF the jurors and the
spectacle. when Judge Hattnn was
seated IN the big Witness chair and pro-
ceedea ilodeStlF to explain his docket.
ID ~
man explaining his official action.
SIige Hattcn explained that ne could
not tell whether Albert Kunkle was the
Jonn Fisher charged with a nuisance or
not The officers sometimes brought In
twenty or thirty such cases and ne en-
tered thefi on his docket and when the
pond was forfeited and the parties were
brought into court that he had no
nen2s Of knowing who they wsre.
He also stated that the printed blanks
at the Bottom of the page we-e intended
to he iiled out when the cases were
triSd and determined, bat as the cases
mad never been tried they could not of
course be filled ont.
These were the blanks read by Mr..
campbell III such way as to make it
appear that Judge Hatton had assess
% a fine Of blank dollars against ali
THESE offenders and had then ordered
dollars was pad.
1T was an extra ge6us attempt TO cloud
the official record Of an honest man and
when Tiger Bill fell down he sneaked in
20 his jungle without; ever trying to
cfoss-question Judge Uatt0n IN regard
te these cases in the police court
ihere was Il good deal OF eXciten ent
whea Henry Schnitzier was put on the
stand Campbell had him subpoenaei
p cr
sold liquors al wholesale To Albert Kun
kle. but SchnttZler said he had had
ota!lngs number Of times with Kunkle
Ia the past two years and that he had
corrected money from him, but that the
clerk had made out the bills and he
coNfd not now remember the items.
The assistant attorney general then
had another subpoena issued for Henry
Schnitzler to produce his books in
court TO show what he had sold to Kun
kle. Eckstein made a vigorous objec-
ton and claimed that man could not
De made TO bring his private books into
court.
TIE subpoena was issued and when
Schnitzler went TO his office on Market
street 10 get TIE books they had been re-
moved and he was unable to find them
When Schnitzler, so reported Tigac
Bill raised howl that made the jungle
ring He was certain that the defense
had put up a game and he had ed
kirkpatrick yanked up on the witness
stand 10 show up the conspiracy
When Mr.. Fitzpatrick had taken the
chair the assistant attorney general ask
ed with great delibera ton: Did You
after the subpoena had been issued FOR
Mr. Schnitzler 10 produce MS books hsre
go into the district clerks Office and tele
phone Henry Billncsn TO hide The books
i,oe
Otto Eckstein objected TO the question
on the ground that it was inmaterial
and did not belong to the case now on
trial. The court sustained the objec-
!ion and Mr.. Campbell subsidized for the
present. bat ii was suggested that an
other case might grow out of the disap-
pear2nce CT the t0oks.
TfaIe were q runbc- of witnesses in
rcluced by Mr.. Campbell to prove that
Albert Kunklc was in the liquor bust
ness. but outside Of one colored man
they did not seem to have much idea
about il. and even the colC-ed man did
not seem 70 know VINO was keeping the
place where he visited.
The evidence of one witness Will give
4 fair sample of a good many Of the 9th
ers. The witness answered 10 the very
common name of SchiTanQwskiey, and
his evidence was very pointed and to
the point.
