Criminal Cases.


A large docket received the attention
Of the city court yesterday, though most
of the cases were dismissed. Five of the
discharged, however, were virtually one
case, as Nellie Stiles appeared as prosecu-
tor in all Of them. Having been deserted
by her husband she believed his affec-
tions had been aliehated by his relations.
and the FIVE defendants appearing had
been brought into court on some warrant
Of hers, charging assault and battery.
r. H. Wilson, a young white man, was
tried and acquitted of the charge Of lar
ceny from the person. The prosecutor
was Pole, who alleged that Wilson had
taken some twenty or thirty cents more
from him than his change justly called
for. The matter was so apparently the re-
suit of a mistake that the jury readily
found him not guilty.
George Dorsey was discharged, he nav
Ing been tried on the charge of whipping
his wife.
Joseph Small was also fortunate in be-
ing given dismissal on the charge Of as
sault and battery.
On the charge of carrying concealed
weapons, Jack Williams was given a fine
