Richmond, Tex, Jan. 17.-(Spooinl)-
The preliminary hearing of Colonel l..

charged with swindlng the state Of
Texas out OF S75. began with an I'M
usual proceeding by n bench of two
judges sitting and It ended with an
occurrence as unusual and very sem

mony of s. h. Cunningham. Cunning

had been subDoenaed to be present but
was conspicuous the first day of the
hearing by his absence. This morning

brought him. 1t brought forth the
sensation OF the day. The sensation
began to brew when the witness said
he wns induced to make the complaint
by w. o. Ellis and II reached It's height
when County Attorney Styled dis
missed the case, with Mr. Ellis ear
gerly asking the court TO allow him u
hearing and not allow this to go into
the record. The case was closed, how
ever, and Cunningham was called upon
to sign his sworn statement without
the facts desired by Mr. Ellis being In
the record. He signed and his testl-
Inony Is now n part OF the court rec
ords. This was not the only sensation.
The FIRST was sprung by w. o. Ellis,
himself, during the morning session,
when he arose In open court, aud in a
speech to the Justice presiding objected
to the searching examination through
which Mr.. Ball was leading him. Dur
Ing the testimony this morning Mr.
