The case of Charles Candaletta the
colored man who shot French Pete' in
the arm, came to an abrupt end in Judge
McClernan's court this morning. At
torney Booth, the counsel for the pris-
oner, entered plea of guilty to assault
in the third degree. The prisoner was
charged with assault in the first degree.
County Attorney Breen consented to the
introduction of the plea, and the court
accept it.
There was likelihood that he could not
be convicted Of the degree of assault
with which he was charged, and the les
81 charge was substituted for that rea-
son. Attorney Booth said that the pris-
0ner would waive his right to a delay in
receiving his sentence, and Judge Nc
Clernan sentenced him to 30 days in Jail.

Felker case who is charged with perjury
on account of an affidavit which he made
relating to the case, was brought into

a demurrer to the information, and the
hearing of this pleading was set for next

morning to the charge of burglary on two
informations was still unrepresented by
legal counsel SO he was given further
time to secure an attorney. The pris-
oner asked the court for lawyer, and
the latter inquired if he We're not able
to employ lawyer himself. Blom re-
piled that he might get one by Satur-
day. and the time for him to plead was
continued to Monday. Blom is accused of

berries.
Wanted Gases Set.
Attorney Wines addressed the court
with request that two old criminal
cases. in which the defendants, John
Boyd and David Willard. are out of Jail
on bonds. be set for trial. Mr.. Wines
said that Boyd has three bonds up-one
of $780, one of $500 and one of $1,000,
and that he was anxious for trial. AS
to Willard, he said that the latter wants
to leave town but cannot do SO till he
has been trid.
Boyd is charged with grand larceny,
and Willard is charged with assault in
the first degree in a shooting case. Will
lard's case had been continued at his own
request on account of one of his own
witnesses being shot and being unable to
attend a trial. The other case had been
continued upon the application of the
county attorney.
County Attorney Breen replied to Mr..
Wines statement that he was willing
that the Willard case be set for trial,
but that he would not be ready to try
Boyd till cold weather should drive a
material witness in ,the matter back to
civilization. p said that if Boyd had
made himself bed of thorns it was HIS
business to be content with it.
Mr.. Wines insisted that the defendant
was ready for trial, and that he did not
think he should be required to wait for
cold weather to set in. But Judge Nc
Clernan stated that strong allegations
had been made in the prosecutors appli
cation to have the day set for the trial
Of Boyd vacated, and that till the de-
PENDANT made some showing that he was
not concealing the witness in question
he should not set the case.
Ahe case of Willard was set for trial
on the 10th of September.
