going to be baked or discouraged by
uch a small thing as half a dozen ac-
quittals of the defendants. No sooner

erville and filed a new complaint against
the two persons and yesterday they
were arrested for the sixth time ana
again placed behind the bars of the
county Jail.
The last complaint was filed without
consulting the county attorney, and
son. entered a loud and emphatic pro-
test against the action. which he dcsig-
mated as nothing less than persecution.
O'Donnell was summoned tn the county
attorneys office for an explanation and
he justified his action by saying that
the dismissal of the defendants by Jus
tice Burns was a clear case of prosti-
tuition Of justice. He said the evidence
was strong and clear enough 10 con-
vict the defendants, at least Bankson,
before any jury I'm the world. MIR. Dy-
CERT was present during Mr.. O'Donnelfs
statement and Some hot words were ex-
changed: finally the lie was passed and
Chancellor O'Donnell picked up a chair
with which to strike the young attor-
ney. but Mr.. Stapleton interfered and
quoted the two men.
The county attorney said he would
look over the testimony against Bank
son and Bell. and if he considered IL
strong enough To justify 1t he would
permit O'Donnell To prosecute the case
again in Justice Marsland's court. 9TH
crwise he would order it dismissed.
