His first act was to dispose of the case
of the State against 16-year-old Michael
Driscoll, who a day or two g plead
guilty to a charge Of burglary. Driscoll
was sentenced to three years in the re-
form school,. His mother was in court
and shed tears over the outcome: then
the boy, toe, cried.
In the case of the State against Peter
and James Quello, charged with assault
in the first degree, the shooting of a
young man at a Parrot flat midwinter
festival, Judge Clancy decided today to
begin the trial on une /. The prisoners
will be defended by J.. L. Wines. Wit
nesses We're excused until that date.
The time for commencing the trial of
George w. Nicholson for the killing OF
James Wilson has been extended to the
31st.
DR.. Otis Hull, for whose arrest on a
charge of practicing medicine without a
license a warrant was issued by Justice
Nichols a few days ago, cannot be found
and the belief prevails that he has left
the city. All day yesterday C. G.
| Rhoades searched for the doctor, but the
only trace of him he could get was the
information that about II o'clock the
night before somebody had supplied Huh
with a sufficient amount of money to
defray the expense of a hurried exit. The
bare fact that Hull had not secured a
license from the state board of physicians
before commencing his practice in the
city is only a nominal ~offense, but had
the law succeeded in getting hold OF him
something else might have fallen. He is
! supposed to have attended the two men
who died Of typhoid pneumonia while
'tenting on the old camp ground south
of the city and at the same time were
paying a dollar a month hospital dues.
County Auditor Griffin went up the hill
yesterday afternoon and brought back
with him James Coskoran, who has been
a charge on the county for some time.
Coskoran has been totally blind for six
years as a result Of a blast in the Never
s sEz tf mlf g q Is i tsoXght =? e Insane
in a few days. He has been in the asy-
lun. 1t is said that since the accident
to him several children AVE been added
to his household. The family has been
existing in a cabin near the Nipper mine.
DR.. Sheerin had a talk with him in the
auditors office and learned considerable
of his life. He said that at one time he
was worth a million pounds and had
given 81, 1000, 900 to the poor Of New York
at the time of the panic there. His
father, he said, was a second cousin to
Jim Hill, but he had r%epudiated Hill.
Attorney Leehey has prepared petitions

MCFARLAND, Maggie Benson and George E.
Bidwell he seeks the appointment of H. f.

Frank Murray, about q years old, was
placed on trial in Judge Clancy's court
this morning for the alleged theft Of $S7
from Robert B. Boyd on the morning OF
March 2 0. He was defended by NJ. D.
Kelly. Only a few minutes was consum-
ed in securing a jury, as none of the pam
el seemed to know either the defendant or
the complaining witness. Boyd testified
that he arrived from Dillon about 2
o'clock on the morning of the robbery and
visited the Copper King saloon. He had
a check for $50 exchanged for cash. but
did not know whether Murray was pres
ent when the deal was made. Murray
was there shortly afterwards and had
seen the money. He and the witness had
had become friendly to the extent of
having several drinks together at the lat
ter's expense and had then visited other
saloons, one of which was ''Joe.s, place
which is not far from the Copper King.
The check was cashed there. In his per-
FORMATIONS Murray had stuck to him like
a postage stamp and shared in every
thing. Finally. he and Boyd visited a sa-
loon the location of which could not be de-
termined. Boyd was tolerably we'll IAN
n n ~ ~ -,. -
enough left to feel himself being showed
into a convenient cellar. Once in the cell
lar he became unconscious and knew
nothing more until q patrol wagon called
for him several hours later. This money
was then in the possession of some one
else; who he did not know.
On cross examination he was asked f
he remembered having given Murray a
small purse prior to being put to SLEEP
and saying: Here, kid, keep this for
me-" He answered in the negative and
added that he did not believe he had
done such a thing.
The deposition Of Martin Noonan was
offered in evidence, but an objection was
made to it on the ground hat the prose-
cution had not shown that MORAN was
either dead, insane or absent from the
state. The deposition was allowed to be-
come a part of the evidence and its con-
tents were hard on the prisoner. They
showed that Noonan had caught Murray
IN the very act of rohbing Boyd at the foot
of the stairway leading to the basement
outside OF "Paddy's" saloon in Main
street. Peyd seemed to be unconscious
and Murray had to roll him over in Or
der to get action on his pocket. While
Nocnan was looking on Murray took the
! nurse -. Rovd's clothing and trans.
ierred Il 10 his " kespIrg.
Nocnan further aid he had tailed Of
fcer Sullivan and had Murray arrested
