NEARLY ESCAPED
No Complaints Filed Against Moshier
by Mistake

j. H. Moshier, the pugnacious saloon
keeper, who succeeded in cracking the
skull of Jack Kohler on Monday night in
a saloon at First and Los Angeles streets
was arraigned on a charge of assault
with deadly weapon yesterday after
noon before Justice Morrison. Owing
to some misunderstanding between Of
ficer Rich and Kohler, whereby each
thought the other would swear to the
complaint, there was no complaint in
the court when Moshier was arraigned.
This fact was Immediately taken advan-
tage of by the defendants attorney,
who promptly moved for dismissal of
the case. Deputy District Attorney
Chambers slid out, however, and got the
necessary papers. Justice Morrison
placed the bonds at $500 and set the date
of examination for January 18th.

Az Il o'clock last night the Jury In the

cons said thai he would return a. s, in
order To receive the verdict. IL ore ha 4
been agreed upon IRE jury AZ that hour
reported 70 agreement The judge wait
&c for three hours. He then questioned
the foreman. who stated that the jury

that no verdict was probable last night.
and Judge Jacobs said that he would call
on the Jury for report this morning 1t
$50 o'clock.
IL was sad that the Jury stccd IL to
for conviction.
The chief interest IN the testimony yes
.ercay centered around Mr.. and Mrs
Newman. who were both on the stand
during the forenoon. Newman testified
that he had received one OF the 500 bills
in question from w. II. Moore, OF the
Washington National bank, and that the
other was one which he had given his
wife. and that she had given i, back to
him about the time OF the robbery 10
meet an obligation. He stated that on
the night Of the robbery of Mrs Norring
ton he was intoxicated and knew nothing
whatever OF the circumstances Of the rob-
berry Grl,l! he had learned OF them after
wards. his testimony was corroborased
by that of his wife. her mother. Mrs.
PerceI and /. Isaacs. Mr. Moore remem-
bered paying some one slc9 bill, but was
no. sure that IL was Newman. Other
testimony for the defense was taken up
mainly with testimonials to Newman's
previous good character and reputation.
The afternoon was taken up mainly
with the argument OF the case, Deputy
Prosecuting Attorney Hart representing
the state and Messrs. Tremper and VIM
stock appearing for Newman. Il was
nearly O'Clock before Judge Jacobs m
Ishsd his charge and turned the case over
