and tuneful opera. This will be the
opening attraction OF the new Lyceum

well balanced, and conceded to be the
strongest that could be gathered from
the two cities. Miss Edna Ryals, as
Princess Bonnie; Miss Blanche Hecht,
as kitty Glover; Miss Worth, as Aunt
lie Crabbe; Miss Weaver, as Donna
Pomposo; Mr.. Hugh Steele. as Roy

Deputy Sheriff Egan, Capt. Parker
and Detective Nickerson were present
OF the police department, also attorneys
w. II. Angel and A. &. Matteson, the
latter representing the complainants
IN the perjury case, and few other
persons interested. Judge Sweetland
read the warrant. in which II appeared
that Hull. in a divorce case in which
Margaret j. Hull was the respondent,
had made a deposition before Judge
Bliss. master in chancery, IN which he
declared Providence had been his domi-
cile and residence for one year previous
TO the date OF the filing of his petition
for divorce.
The warrant alleges that this was a
false deposition. as, in fact, he had
been during that period a resident of
Jerome Arizona, and that he commit.
ted willful perjury. To this charge
Hull pleaded not guilty. and, through
his attorney, Mr.. Angel. waived exami-
nation. Bail was fixed al $4,000 and was
furnished by Patrick +. Edgar.
Mr. Hull has maintained from the
first that he was not fugitive from
justice, that he had been i'm Rhode ISL
and since the divorce case was before
the court and that II he had not been
arrested i'm New York he would have
been in Providence shortly afterwards.
