WITNESSES ARE MISSING,
Little Prospect of Prosecuting
Rinehart and Hanley at
Present.
One More PoStponement of the Trial
of the Railroad Men Indicted at
Chicago.

"a CHICAGO, ILL.,, May 21.-The cases Of
John w. Rinehart, ex-president and John
A. Hanley, ex-traffic manager of the Santa
Fe. Railroad Company. charged with vic.
lating the in terstate commerce law, were
continued to-day by Judge Grosscup until
the October term of court to give the Gov
ernment an opportunity to produce its
witnesses. The ex-officials were indicted
by the Federal Grand jury on the testi-
mony of John G. Taylor, livestock agent
of the Santa Fe road in 1892, for granting
rebates to certain favored patrons of the
road in 1892. Taylor was in the court
room last Monday ready to give evidence,
but the cases were continued until to-day.
When the cases were called to-day Taylor
was missing and could not be found.
District Attorney Black and Senator
Shields of Iowa, representing the Govern
ment, presented an affidavit setting forth
the reasons for asking a continuance. 1t
stated that Nelson Morris, wanted as a
witness, is in Europe and that w. P. Jen-
kins, president of the Hammond Packing
Company, also wanted, could not be found
and was believed TO be evading service
The defendants were charged with being
in collusion with him. The affidavit as
serted that the defense probably knew
something about the sudden disappear
ance of the most material witness, Taylor.
Judge Grosscup refused to issue a bench
warrant for Taylor's arrest, but intimated
that if it was found at the October term
witnesses were being kept in hiding
by the efforts of the defense. there would
be trouble.
Both defendants were present and repre-
sented by counsel. Senator Duncan, for
Mr.. Rinehart, declared that there was no
evidence showing the ex-president's S knowl-
edge of the rebate transactions; but SEN
ator Shields said the Government would
show a connection between the ex-presi-
dent ana Hanley.
