KATE is RELEASED.
The Court Impressed With the
Spring Girls Story.
SHE TELLS ABOUT THAT COLLAR.

Claims She Laid IL Away After Mrs. Brad
ley Had Instructed Her to Destroy It
Among Other Discarded Goods-Other
Police News.
Kate Spring made a favorable i'm
preston on Magistrate Schroeder in
the police court this morning as she
explained how that lace collar, the
disappearance of which resulted in
her being arrested on a charge Of
larceny. happened to get mixed up
with her other personal effects. In
fact the court considered the evi.
dence against the girl too weak to 20
down with the grand jurors-so he
dismissed the proceedings and Kate
tripped out of the court room with q
light heart and q spotless record.
And thus collapses the detective Job
of Deputy Sheriff S. S. Hull. who
claimed the very fact of Kate's ad-
mission to stealing the lace collar
was sufficient to convict her; and he
also stated that the girl confessed to
taking the other goods missing from
the Bradley home and promised to
tell their whereabouts to a certain
patrolman who refused to appear in
court at Hates hearing. Anyway
there was no corroborative evidence
against the girl.
Kate explained the collar story
this way: Mrs. Bradley told me to
throw a whole lot of goods in the
furnace. Among them was the lace
collar. told her it was too good to
burn, and kept it. l wore the collar
once and then threw it in nv
trunk.
The failure of Mrs. Bradley to con-
tradict the girls statement in court
helped Kate out considerably. Mr..
and Mrs. Bradley were reluctant
from the first about prosecuting the
girl, their only desire being to re-
cover the missing goods.
vogel Not Guilty.
1t consumed the greater part Of
yesterday afternoon to settle the
breach of the peace case of Charles
Erickson VS. Charles Vogel in the
police court, and Squire Schroeder
heaved sigh of relief when the
chewing terminated about 6 O'Clock
and the jury retired to settle the fate
OF either of the ligitants. 1t was 3
holly contested case, although of
little consequence, and seemed to be
OF much interest in the lower end, as
nearly the whole OF the disengaged
population of that section crowded in
the little court room until it was i'm
possible to move therein; and it was
a laughable audience and the maris-
trate had to declare himself several
times to restore quiet. Charles Erick-
son told his Story in n Swedish
American tongue. II dropped iato
Vogei's saloon Tuesday evening to
pass away few hours. Vogel and
a few friends were playing billiards
and made some harmless remarks
about Vogel's shooting. He took
offense at them and threatened to
lay me out with the cue. So said
n" more" Erickson then said that
Nogel called him name that would
rutfle satan's hair. The saloonkeep.
ers's side was in effect that Erickson
was stool pigeon and that the ap
probious remark he made was not
necessarily directed at him. So the
jury-Vogel demanded a jury trial.
believed the saloonkeeper and de.
clared him not guilty. The Jurors
were: j. f. Brown, Joseph Winkler,
George PAIL. Joseph Walters, Aura
Booth. M. Kavanaugh J. P. Looney
represented Vogel and u. f. Cramer

Cotton Letter.


 New York, March 25-(Special. )-Another break of about 3-64d in Liverpool, doleful accounts of an absence of demand for cotton in New Orleans, staggering figures telling of the enormous shipments of ferti- lizers from Charleston and cheerful &C., counts of the improvement in weather con ditions all over the cotton belt formed a combination of depressing influences today too strong for the bulls to withstand. and prices gradually yielded. May opened at 7.56 and declined to 751, closing at the low est, with the tone quiet. May, which has lately been quoted on a parity with Au- gust. was the weakest month of the two today, the difference in the prices ranging from l to 3 points. ssThe talk is that the long interest in May is a pretty big one, and the liquidation of many contracts is likely to be at the expense of values. What ever support the market had today came from the covering of the shorts.
