COURT OPENS.
At 10 o'clock Judge Wenger arrived,
his way through the multitude
that took UP all the available space
in the lobby, and took his seat on the
bench. Prosecutor James had already
sent for City Attorney Mckay, so that
when the judge arrived the prosecu-
ton was fully represented. But there
we're nearly 100 men and women. To
go through the Formally of fixing bail
would take all DAY. What was to be
done? Attorney Mckay finally sug-
gested that the women be allowed to
go on their own recognizance, and it
was ordered, although both the judge
and Chief Pratt demurred.
It was different with the men. The
decreed that they must put
up bail or go to Jail. 1t took till near
ly l. O'Clock however, to get the
names of the women, and Judge Wen
ger, noting the fleeing of the hours,
that none OF the crowd, he
presumed, had partaken of their
repaSt.
1T makes no difference" replied the
city attorney; 1--WE must finish up if
it takes till 4 O'clock
