terday. White retained Campbell Car.
rington as counsel, and the latter
sought a jury trial for his client. The
court acceded to the request, aud fixed
bond at 81, 900 for the appearance Of
the accused. White was unable to
furnish bond, and was committed to
Jail. Several local friends OF White raj.
lied around him in court yesterday
One OF them was Rev. Alexander w
Pitzer, pastor OF the Central Presby.
terrain Church, OF Washington, who
called at police headquarters to testify
that White had always borne good
reputation. Although there was nc
hearing of testimony, references were
made by some OF those interested in
White to certain eccentricities OF the
man. Sister Louise, OF Providence Hos
pital, was asked to visit headquarters
yesterday, and take look at White,
who, the detectives believe, endeavored
to fraudulently obtain s. from her q

to attempt to identify White when she
learned he was clergyman.

Joubert III command Of the re

ing general upon the d,ath OF
Joubert, and was also mentioned
as possible candidate for the
presidency of the Hransvaal Re
public.
Botha is only SO, little more

not a professional soldier, but a
raiser Of sheep and cattle, or, as
he says, "a plain farmer" IN the
