hart" asked Attorney Ballentine.
About ten years." was answered.
"Were you on intimate terms with
him?" asked the counsel for the de-
fense.
why yes, we were intimate"
Had you seen him frequently of
late?"
LEWIS HEsITATED.
The witness hesitated here, and on
being pushed to the point said that
previous to Saturday nights meeting
he had not seen Everhart for quite a
long period.
How long?" was asked, and Lewis
finally admitted that 1t was possibly
| five months.
William Horn, Of North Scranton,
son of the proprietor of Horns hotel,
in which Everhart and Lewis had had
| frequent consultations, was then called
| to the stand, and testified to carrying
note to Lewis yesterday morning
from Everhart, and carrying back one
in return. Two pieces of crumpled pa
per were put into evidence, which pur-
ported to be the two communications.

viously in the week DR.. Everhart was
not In the city.
THE commonwealth rests here" said
Attorney O'Brien. after the counsel for
the defense had finished the cross-ex-
animation of the witness. 1--WE ask,
he continued, that bail be fixed In
this case, commensurate with the en-
ormity of the crime"
1T is just for it to be commensu-
rate" said Attorney Ballentine, but
we protest on its being exorbitant."
Attorney O'Brien suggested that the
bail be fixed at a sum not less than
$1,000, and Alderman Kasson ther
placed 1t at that figure.
NOTHING TO SAY.
Mr.. Everhart, when seen by Trib-
une man, was very reticent He main
tanned a sullen silence, and when
asked what he had to say regarding
the charge said
AT present / have nothing to say;
nothing whatever.
Investigation by Tribune reporter
corroborated Lewis in one of his state
ments, namely, that Everhart went tC
the Turkish bath Monday night, will

stated it, to establish an alibi.

HEARING In THE
RINSLAND CASE

While Everhart was being detained
in Detective Earrings office, awaiting
hearing before the alderman, a NOR
bid crowd thronged the arbitration
room to hear the cross-examination of
the witnesses in the $4,000 damage suit
which Phil Rinsland is prosecuting
against Everhart for alternating his
former wifes affections.
Miss NJ E. Rinsland, sister of the
plaintiff. was the only important wit
ness.
Miss Rinsland stated that her friend
Healey waited on Phil Rinsland last
March and asked him to consent to his
wife and sister accompanying him to
New York, where he was going on a
business trip, and where, incidentally,
he expected to meet a party of New
England relatives, among whom would
be number of ladies. Phil said that
as long as his wife was to go along,
he saw nothing wrong in it, and gave
the consent.
She then went on to relate at length
what took place in the three different
hotels at which they stopped. Ever
hart met them in New York the first
day and stayed with them during
hotel Everhart and Mrs. Rinsland oc-
cupied the same room and together,
en- dishabille, came in for chat to
the adjoining room occupied by the
witness.
Proprietor Horn, of the Green Ridge
hotel, where Everhart seems to have
established headquarters, was called
to tell Of carousals there in which
| Everharr, Mrs. Rinsiand and Miss
! Rinsland figured, but he could not re-
call any such incidents.
| The hearing was to have been con-
tinued in the afternoon at o'clock,
but the news of Everhart's arrest
caused Mr.. Burns to question the ex-
pediency of proceeding further with
the defense and on his motion the
case went over till next Tuesday.
