Because of Illness of an I'M
p0rtant Witness.
AFFIDAVIT SUBMITTED
Barnhill SWearS Pickerel Did Not
Enter Room From Which
Watch Was Stolen.

The trial of the case Of the state
against John Pickerel, the alleged watch
thief, was not commenced in Judge Clam
cy's court this mornintg and will not be
| called again until the 26th. 1t was to
have been taken up last Monday, but
| the trial of a civil suit crowded it over
until this morning. Up to date it has
| been the cause of two lively tits be-
tween the Judge and Attorney Charles
O'Donnell, one last week and III other
yesterday.
When the case was called to-day Mr..
! O'Donnell spared cautiously for an
opening. With a smile or his face and
continuance in his hands he stepped
close to the legal throne. May it please
the court" said he, William Barnhill.
one of our important witnesses. is too
i'll to be in court and 1 wish to offer a
motion for a continuance for a few days
1 have an affidavit made by the defend
ant. 1t is based upon a certificate from
a physician"
The judge said nothing in reply, but
! the expression Of his face bore evidence
of disappointment.
| MI. ODonnell read the affidavit to
him. The contents of tue document were
to the effect that Barnhill would testify
that on November "a, the day previous
to the commission of the crime with
which Pickerel is charged, he and Pick
erel were at the Cash lodging house;
that they were engaged in transporting
a stove from an upstairs room to a shed
and that Pickerel did not enter the room
of Kathleen Naughten; from which the
watch was stolen; nat on the following
day he called at the house n asked
Mrs. Pickerel, who was at work there, if
Z. John was in and she said no.; he had
been away since Z o'clock that morning.
I The affidavit further said that Barn.
hill was i'll of pleurisy at the Cash lodg.
ing house and the defendant could not
safely go to trial without his testimony.
7 The prisoners counsel wanted the pros
ecution to admit the evidence which 1t
was alleged Barnhill would give, but the
county attorney woul not consent to It.
While the attorneys were talking the
matter over among themselves the Judge
was doing a little thinking. On arriv-
ing at a conclusion he said:
TIL Just continue this case until the
28th of March. That will give the wit
ness a chance to die or get we'll"
The blow almost upset the whole works
as the defendant and his attorneys had
figured on a postponement of not more
than three days. AS soon as they re-
covered from the shock one of them
said:
Your honor, Mr.. Kelly has expressed
a willingness to al the deposition Of
the witness at noon."
II said March 26,' replied the Judge.
! The principals then retired to theil
corner, discussed the situation among
themselves and reached the unanimou!
conclusion that something had dropped

JOHN BRAY GETS
MOST OF THE MONEY.

Barring an appeal to a higher tribunal,
THE First National bank can now get
rid of the $3.50 it has been holding SO
many years for John, Edwin and Lucy
Bray, but the bulk of the amount will
go to the former. The trial Of the suit
to determine h sum to which each of
the three is entitled was commenced in
Judge ClAncy's court Monday morning
and was placed in the hands of the jury
about 2:30 O'clock yesterday afternoon,
but under a mistaken apprehension that
all the members had to concur in the
conclusion a verdict was mot announced
until $3.50 last might. The verdict was to
the effect that John e. Bray is entitled
to three-fourths Of all the money and a
third of the remainder. This is what he
claimed, and he is therefore a winner.
The three-fourths comes i'm by reason OF
his having been a partner. of his father
and helped to earn the money and the
third OF the balance is accorded him as
n of the three heirs to the estate left
by his father and mother.
