an acceptable bond, but without sue
cess. Mr.. Haney, therefore, had to re-
main at the Nicollet house in the Gus

1t was sad sight that was presented
| In Judge Beldens court room during
the half hour when Charles F. Haney
was seated in the court room, waiting
for his case to be called
The accused man sat collapsed in a
chair, his whole aspect the embodiment
OF physical suffering. His head was
turned SO that he could not face the
court room full of morbidIy curious
people who had gathered to see the ar
ralgnment Of the once debonnaire CITY
clerk. After a light breakfast Mr.
Haney had been taken directly to the
court house upon his own request.
IF L ever get to bed he had said to
James H. Eye, his captor. II will not
be able to rise again for some time. for
L am so tired. Therefore, take me at
| once to the court house and have it
| over WITH
Mr.. Eye took him at his word, and
his prisoner nerved himself for the
emergency. Albert H. Hall. Haney's
| attorney was not aware that the ar
! ra1gnment was to take place, and the
sheriff was obliged to send for him be-
fore the official act could be performed
County Attorney. Peterson was present
in person to attend to the matter, There
was a dearth of friends Of the prisoner
Aid. Phillips and aIgf6Wx Newspaper
friends being the only ones to speak
words of kindness to ethe sufferer.
"If the court please, -. said Mr.. Peterson
finally, stepping to the bar, Charles F.
Haney Is here in court, DESTROYS of being
| arralgned upon his Indictment
is Mr.. Haney PRESENT." asked Judge
| Belden.
Assisted by Mr.. Eye the prisoner arose
and essayed to approach the court Just as
his attorney entered the court room.
You need not stand, SAID the court, kind
ly. Remain seated
1--WE will waive the reading of the indict-
ment, said the prisoner to his counsel The
voice was an index Of the pain under which
the man suffering.
Ia he
as the charge was more than miSdemeanor
and Clerk r. c. Royce read the long indict-
ment, which charged the accused with hav-
ing onered bride in the amount of $780, to
Francis c. Drew, June g. 1885, in CON
sideration of his voting for the contract for
the paving of certain streets, to be given
to the WarrenScharff Asphalt company The
witnesses to the Indictment were s. E.
Adams, F. c. Harvey Aid. Snyder Register
MOODY, Engineer Cappalen and f. G. Drew.
asked Royce -
IF the court please said Mr.. Hall. 1--WE
would like to have time in this matter 1t
is possible that | will want to enter a de-
murrer to this Indictment, and in case |
do, 1t will be ready by Tuesday next With
the understanding that we may withdraw the
plea we will plead not guilty"
rs rs that your plea?" asked the. clerk
1t is, said the prisoner, who had fol-
lowed closely the reading of the indictment,
the slight twinge- brought to the features
by the pain of his illness.
Ii the court please, said the county at
torney / ask that bail be fixed in the case -
The plea of not guilty is entered, said the
court with the understanding that de-
murrer may be entered. and that Tuesday will
be the day for the next appearance"
II do not understand" said Mr. Hall chat
his presence is necessary in court if demlr .
I think it will be- said the county attor-
ney. However, will fix the bail
What have you to say Mr. Attorney. -
asked the court, relative to the bail?''
Why, only this. your honor. The prisoner
is a fugitive from justice. and this county
has been put to great deal of expense In
getting him back. About a week before this
Indictment was found we were informed that
Mr.. Haney in hiding in this CITY and
we secured warrant for his arrest. It trans
plred that he had fed the city before we could
serve it. He left the city very quietly I
might say clandestinely When we went after
him he fought every inch Of the way to pre-
vent his extradition, and has put the county
to quite. an expense in the matter. This is
very serious offense. one in which the pun
ishment may be ten years in states prison
or fine not exceeding S.. 900. or both and
in my opinion the bail should be fixed at a
reasonably high amount"
A. H. Hall stepped forward and asked for
three or four minutes in favor of his client
but more AGAINST his old enemy, the county
attorney; he cited the departure from the
city of Mr.. Haney, and asserted that it had
been most public departure. Before going.
Mr.. Haney had told his friends that he eX-
pected to leave the city, and stated about the
time he would go. -
Not long before he left said Mr. Hall.
''he gave a public dinner at the West hotel
at which appeared Of the men whose
names appear on the Indictment as witnesses
in this case. in which he took public leave
of his friends Of his official life extending
over period of eight years There was no
secret about his departure and it was GER
tatnly not clandest:ne, for he told everybody
that he was to leave the city and go to the
republic of Mexico that he might recover his
heaith.'
Mr.. Hall then reverted to the acts at Nor
NAL in which he stated that the first Mr.
Haney knew of his trouble upon read
ing Chicago paper. He then. at once com
municated with the governor of this state
promising to come back as soon he was
able.
''HE ADVERTISED HIS HOME
