HOT TIME IN COURT
The Kearns. Hobbs. Wray Scandal has
NV Sensation.
HOBBS ARREST CALLED A "JoD."
Wordy Contest BE wen Attorney John
II. Zane and Detective sheeis
"A rgumtnis Heard.

Tho curtain went up on the official
extortio, seduction scandal before
Justice OF the Peace Wenger at IL
O'Clock today. A distinguished az.
gregatlon OF counsel and q motley
crowd Of morbiiIy curious persons
confronted the court when no au-
nounced his readiness to hear the
case. Mr.. Kearns was represented by
Judge Dickson and Q. 8. Varisn;
Hobbs, who plead not guilty t. tho
charge OF extortlon,by Jno. M.Zane and
w. II. Hutchison; Miss Eulsh Wray,
the young woman in the case,by Nor
ris Sommer sni the State by
County Attorney Van Colt. The
case proceeded rather tamely for
while, but the monotony was
broken by Mr.. Zane, who by his
courae OF questioning held out the
idea that Hobbs arrest was the reeult
OF job, in which Kearns, Detective
Sheets and Patrolmsn Raleigh were
tho participants and that the two
officers were In the employ OF the
wealthy mine.owner. Detective Sheets
repeatedly and vehemently denied the
soft Impeachment AMI declared that he
was paid q salary by the city and that
he was not"a cheap man." to all OF
which Mr.. Ziue only smiled and said
he was "glau to hear It," Mr.. Kesrns's
testimony was simple repitition Of
the charges OF blacknail as published.
That OF the mother OF Miss Wray was
sensational and to the effect that
Ksarns wanted to get her out OF tho
way; that as to himself "God knew he
neeued to be pitied, and that the girl,
poor devil, needed pity too" and that
Hobbs should be sent TO prison for
ten years.
