Undaunted by former failures, she ha:
again essayed to gain possession OF the
scalu of Attorney D. NJ. Delmas. But
once more has she failed, and it is ru-
mored that tie suave Colonel Kowalsky
was the benefactor who prevented the
wreaking of the dire deed.
After the adjournment Of the Fair case
yesterday afternoon Attorney Delmas, ac-
panied by Colonel Kowalskv and At.
torney Ruef, walked along McAllistel
street to Market.
At this point an addition was made to
the gathering by the formers Nemesis
JEANNE Young, or. speaking more detin-
itely, Baroness Won Turkhei:n. Attorney
Delmas maintained studied silence, but
the colonel allowed his thoughts to be ut
tered in the words, "Whatnext?"
The Baroness accosted Delmas aud said,
Il wish to speak to YOU" but received nc
answer.
The party then proceeded to cross Mar

she was not so easily to be shaken off.
Kowalsky, who seemed TO be standing
guard. pushed the tall brunette aside and
told her there were other and more agree
able places TO speak to Delmas, if speak
she must.
Then trouble commenced for the
Baroness allowed her wrath TO be spent
upon the colonel, and he concluded to join
Delmas in a tonic" in a convenient
liquor store or Sixth street. Attorney
Ruei had already joined the pursued.
BY this time a crowd had gathered, and
the Baroness won their sympathy by tell
ing then how she had heen sighted and

Detective CrocKett, seeing the crowd
went along to see what 1t was all about.
He saw the Baroness surrounded by her
sympathisers and, walking up 10 her,
asked her what was the matter.
Who are you, sir?" colGly asked the
Baroness.

Crockett, showing his star.
Then she cohdescended TO explain that
she wanted to talk to Mr.. Delmas, but lie

to end in pyrotechnic dislay OF oratory.
The wind-spilling commenced yesterday
morning at 1880 o'clock and Garret Nc
Enerney put in the entire day telling why
there was 10 virtue in the claims of the
defendant Craven, and how much there
was OF righteousness in all that had been
coGtended for by the plaintiff Fair.
There was large crowd present. Judge
Carroll Cooks courtroom had been bor-
rowed for the occasion, and it was we'll
filled. Among the spectators during the
forenoon were Mrs. Herman Oerichs and
Miss Virginia Fair.
Al the afternoon session Mrs. Craven
and Mr.. and Mrs. Henry Koehler, the las
named formerly Miss Margaret Craven.
were present. The bride and groom ROBBED
the speaker of much OF his legitima ate
attention.
Before the signal was sounded for Nc
Enerney to enter the lists Judge Slack
made few preliminary remarks concern

to be conducted. Each side was 10 be
allowed eight hours for argument-the
usual working time of two court days.
The questions which the Jury would be
asked to hnd upon were three, briefly:
l. Did James G. Fair ever sign the docu-
ments in question? 2. Were they properly
ackn owledged before J. ]. Cooney, notary?
5. Was there a conspiracy entered into Dy

out of portion of the estate OF James G.
Fair? Judge Slack stated that he had de-
clded TO al nit evidence concerning the
value OF James G. Fairs estate and to
exclude testimony concerning the circum-
stances OF the heirs. Delmas objected to
the latter ruling, and resultant upon the
icl nleI ueCislon II was stipulated that the
estate was worth $15 000 00O
