places. Mr.. Edgar occupied the posi-
tion as judge. while Mr.. Pitcher acted
in the capacity of associate judge.

by Mr.. Mears, while Mr.. Schuler, the
prosecutor, was represented by Mr..
Rabatachinck. The charge against
the defendant was for Confin.ng the

showed considerable tact in the cross
examination of the witnesses and IN
some cases succeeded in tanglng them
up in fine shape. The addresses to the
Jury We're delivered in fine style, and
since both sides of the case proved
very strong the jury had not time IL
give their verdict. This will be given
some time during the coming week
