bing Mrs. Norrington of s3S,. came TO

ened a the courts decision.
IN support of the application, Mr.. VIM

rIngton's now famous visit TO that resort;
that they were with her and other men
I'm the private Office near the front of
the saloon; that they saw her leave the
saloon much the worse for the drinks
she had IN company with the men In the
saloon. and walk up Washington street.
II is further alleged that the men will
testify that they saw her enter the alley
between First and Second avenues with
two rough-looking men ana that she aft
erward returned TO the saloon in an in
toxicatcd condition.
Mr.. Winstock read the affidavit and
backed IL with an argument in support
of his motion for continuance. He
stated that he thought the witnesses
could reach Seattle TN time for the trial
IL il were set down for July IS.
Without hearing from Prosecuting At
torney McElroy at any length, the court
denied the application, stating that he
did rot like the appearance OF the case.

the accused men can develop other means
Of getting a continuance. they will have
10 face a jury in Judge Jacobs court.

The Williamson Mystery.

Special Dispatch 10 the Post fntelligencer
GOLDENDALE. Wash, June 2s.-The
hight OF justice seems 20 be breaking in
the Williamson mystery to satisfactory
solution. Recently Poker Willie" called
upon r. z. jackson at his Columbia river
home and procured a written statement
from Mr.. Jackson as TO the length OF their
acquaintance. which has been OF several
years standing. The document is of such
nature as almost any old settler in the
vicinity OF Rock creek would give the In
dams. Poker Willie" for some unknown
reason, has been exhibiting Jackson's let
ter TO some Of Williamson's friends, and
insists that they show the instrument to
Boston tyee' tmeaning Ktiekitat sher-
ifl. Chief CAMPO has recently been cir
culating the report very freely that he is
confident Ia saw a white man quarreling
with Williamson on the day of the muir
der. and when the chief was asked partic-
ularly about the report he declined to talk.
Capt Daniel OConnor. of 'Emeral
Rancho says time will tell who SO cow
