Hastings and Moore doubtless would
have been accepted as sureties. Since
MIR. Hegenian was brought into court
on a capias, bail could not be accepted,
and he will have to remain in Sheriff
Wharton's custody until next Wednes-
day. After .conversing for few minutes
with friends. the prisoner walked over
to the sheriff and, smiling, remarked
Il am your property" The sheriff
replied jocularly, and soon thereafter
sheriff and prisoner left the Court
House together. Pending his trial,
MIR. Elegeman will stay at the sheriff S
residence.
While he was reading the indict-
ment, former Clerk OF the Peace Dick
son. who has been a friend of Mr..
| lIegeman's for many years, was visibly
affected. After court had adjourned,
he said: During the reading, every
word seemed to burn my lips. i"
Throughout tho ordeal, Mr. IIegeman
stood calmly, with his right hand up
lifted; and his pleading to the grave
accusations was uttered in tone that
could be heard and understood in
every part Of tho court room.
Mr.. Magee says Senator Kenney is
not associated with him as counsel for
Mr.. Iegeman.
