AN UNC0N FIRMED
REPORT.
That the State Has Thrown Up It's
Hands in the Colts Barrity Case.
Mr fendleton, of Counsel for State,
Denies 1t.

Last evening report gained
credence around the City Building that
the State had paid ali the costs in the
Colts barratry proceedings, which vir-
tually signifed that the prosecution
had abandoned the case. Mr.. Colts
himself made a statement to that effect
to Register reporter, and Col. Arnett,
attorney for Colts, is credited with the
same statement.
An effort was made to see the
Prosecuting Attorney, but he could not
be found, nor could his assistant, Mr..
Nesbitt. Hon. John o. Pendleton,
however, who is assisting the State,
was seen. Mr.. Pendleton said the
rumor was not warranted and that it
was the first he had heard of it. In
every criminal cage, he said, it was the
custom for the State to pay its own fees
all the way through. Any State Wit
ness has been getting his fees right
along from the start. 1t was more
than likely, Mr.. Pendleton said, that
some of the witnesses had been paid
off, and from this base the rumor had
received its origin.
Mr.. Pendleton also said that no one
had abandoned anything. The case
was resting, pending the judges de-
cision on the defense's argument for a
new trial None of the defense's wit
nesses have been paid, unless Mr.. Cots
paid them out of his own pocket. In
conclusion, Mr.. Pendleton said that If
Mr.. Colts gets new trial he will be
prosecuted as vigorously as he was on
the first trial.
The costs and fees paid by the State,
according to the statement of the de-
tense, amounted to over $780,
The records in the Circuit Clerks Of
fee, at five o'clock>yesterday evening,
disclosed none of the facts alleged
above by the defense.
If the State has paid all the costs
in the case and thrown up its hands.
it is a great victory for Mr.. Colts.
The information elected above is
given for what it is worth, and the
public can draw its own conclusions.
