Delng a common ScOld IN the neigh
borhoUd of Carmel.
Henry Brown was called on the
stand. He stated the accused lady
had never sc0lded him but frequently
his children had suffered from the
words of Mrs. Holzenhauer.
Ella Brown, daughter of the above
witness, testified to the effect that
the first time she went past, the ac-
cused cursed her, Shot at her with a
revolver, and the second time threw
stones at her.
Henry Camm was the next witness.
Passed the house and the lady came
out and called him vulgar and pro-
fame language and also shook her fist
at him. Riley Allen was called and
stated that he had been past the
house and had never been Scolded but
had heard her scolding others.
Andrew Wood was next but knew
nothing of any scolding.
Jacob Ester was then called. He
said he had been scolded many times
by the accused.
Miss Ester was next; said she had
called her bad names; had had her
arrested once before.
Harry Dare said he in company
with his wife and children passed
the house and received a cursing.
Harry Scovel and Lawyer Boyle ap-
peared for the defendant.
Lawyer Boyle moved the Court dis
charge the defendant and made
srong plea to the Court.
Prosecutor Fithian rebutted Mr..
Boyle's statement and the Court re-
fused the motion. The case was
then referred to the jury.
Prosecutor Fithian ably presented
the facts of the witnesses to the jury
as did also Lawyer Scovel, the defen-
dantS counsel.
The jury then retired for the ver-
dict.
Tuesday Afternoon.
The verdicts of guilty are coming
in and the defendants are having
troubles of their own. All eSterday
afternoon the criminal business con-
tinueG, and to-day the indictments
are still being tried.
Just after the noon recess yesterday
the jury returned verdict of guilty
in the Caroline Holzenhauer case, and
the woman stands before the world
as common scOld.
The recent Grand Jury had pre-
sented to the Court an Indictment
against John Clevenger, the allega-
tion being the larceny of a boat.
That the Grand Jury got hold of the
proper notion of the case was evident
from the fact that after the trial yes
terday afternoon, he was convicted.
1t was shown that Clevenger found
yawl boat adrift, and that he had
made inquiries as to who the boat
belonged to. He was informed but
did not return the boat to the own
erS. On the other hand he claimed
to several Witness that he had pur-
chased the boat, paying for it nine
| dollars. Several witnesses were pre-
sented by Prosecutor Fthian to show
that Clevenger had told them the
boat had been bought.
John G. Mitchell, counsel for the
defendant, attempted to show that
Clevenger found the boat adrift and
! tnnly of ott
| ting to steal it.
The argument in the case made by
Mr.. Mitchell was very plausible, but
Prosecutor Fithian skillfully COM
batted him, and the jury, after de-
| liberation decided that Clevenger was
guilty, but entitled to recommends
tion to the Court for mercy.
The most interesting case of the
day, was the trial of the Indictment
against Iasac Greenblot, of Rosen-
hayn, charging him with assault and
battery upon Casper Saunders.
The evidence was quite contradic-
tory in character, the State not hav-
ing very clear version of the trou-
BILE. Greenblot is a foreman of a
coat factory in Rosenhayn, and Saun-
ders claims that the Hebrew foreman
was anxious to get clear of him be-
cause he was a Christian. A little
quarrel resulted in Saunders being
struck by Greenblot, at least that
was what Saunders says. The sup
porting witnesses for the State were
not clear regarding the matter.
The defense was entirely contrary
to the testimony of the State. 1t
showed that Saunders was mistaken,
and if anything was the aggresSor
in the trouble.
Samuel Iredell represented the de-
fendant and he made the most of the
case in his argument
