THE Lockhart-E Emery case, or series
Of cases, came partially to a close, yes
terday, Emery being discharged on
two complaints and the others schedul.
ed for Saturday. Leading from these
complaints came the arrest Of Mrs
Lockhart on the charge of stealing
paints from Sofre Alexander's paint
shop before and after the February fire
at the Armij, ). Emery was the prir-
cipal witness, to-day, ct the trial
which showed that quantities OF paints
had been taken from the Armlj1 house
before the fire and part Of the stock
placed underground. The testimony
so tar shows that the paint was old
stock taken from the Columbus to the
Armijo when Mrs. l.. moved to the lat
ter house. As yet no testimony has
been introduced to show that she &C
tually took the stock out OF Alexand-
er's, though the latter has testified that
they were his goods. He could not
say If any had been taken to his place
while he was in Chicago. Subsequent
testimony may show this, as the case Is
likely TO occupy three days in court.
Mrs. Lockhart has had SO many cases
in court that the public are naturally
prejudiced against her In this. She
said. to-day, that che would have
Emery in stripes yet on certain charges,
