ants. Mrs. MulVaney and Charles Valen-
tine, were dismissed. Mr.. Mulvaney was
released from the penitentiary, and all
three went away apparently feeling hap
py and on the best of terms with each
other.
After number of arraignments had
been made and pleas entered before
Judge Bartch the NulVaney cases were
ushered in by the arTaignment Of Mrs.
NIulvaney and Charles Valentine on the
amended indictments charging them with
adultery. The reading of the indictments
We're waived and both defendants took
until Saturday to plead.
1t was then suggested that the hearing
OF The case against Valentine for grand
larceny be resumed where it was left off
on Wednesday afternoon. Mrs. NIulVa-
ney and Valentine we're both III court,
but Thomas Muivaney, who was COM

Mr. Mulvaney was brought in, and with
an exceedingly disconsolate air walked
TO the witness stand
Attorney Varian Immediately arose and
made the same objections to the witness

! he was not a competent WitneSSj because
Valentine was implicated with Mrs. Null
Vaney. the wife of the witness, and also
! because MulYaney by answering the
question might crfminate himself
Attorney John N. Zane then reminded
the court that the motion to discharge
Valentine. presented by him yesterday
afternoon, was taken under Amusement
by his honor.
That motion will be overruled," an

now waive, because an indictment had
been found upon testimony other than

Judge Judd then proceeded to show

the tongue, referred to Mrs. Sadie NJ.

The Nasty Mess Dismissed.
! Assistant District Attorney NIaginnis

an argument in support of the theory
that MulVaney'S testimony was cOmpet-
