December 9TH the date for the return of
the grand jury.
Attorney-General Ward said "May
is please the court the State is ready and
we desire, of course, to try these cases
at the earliest possible day. Other Grim
inal business will, however, occupy the
balance of this week, and unless those
eases are displaced, these others will
hardly be tried this week. These cases
will probably take some time, as they
are to be ably defended, and it may be
well to wait until after the civil busi-
ness.
In consideration of this late day set
for the trial of these cases, | would sug-
grst that the learned counsel's offer be
made condition: that in consideration
of the postponement, they will make
their motion before the return of the
grand jury, December 9th, so that we
will know what we are about"
Mr.. Hayes replied: I'VE do now, with
single exception agree. That exception
is that if we find that an important wit
ness cannot be secured, we may apply for
a continuance. We don't know that we
will have any such difficulty"
Mr.. Ward would not agree to this, on
tho ground that when the time is fixed
for trial, the ease ought to go to trial.
Suppose that the main witness be
entreated to go out of the Statet" eX-
claimed Mr.. Bird.
I'VE are not going to induce him." re-
turned the attorney-general.
"You are not the only one interested"
said Mr.. Bird who added to the court.
that If they found that material wit
ness were missing. they could not and
would not try the case.
After looking over the Superior Court
trial list, the court decided that the date
for Mr.. Lynn's trial on the merits
should be Wednesday, December 18th,
and that all notions not going to the
merits, must he submitted by December
9th: with reference to contingencies that
may arise as to witnesses the court will
consider them when presented.
But you must summon your witnesses
now" said Judge Lore.
| Mr.. Lynn was under $1,000 bail in
each of the two OF the cases, his bonds
men being George w. Phillips and Mich
ael Donoho. On the remaining nine, the
State issued capiases for the Levy
Courtman, and on each of them, bail of

John Craig and Charles NJ. Smith were
accepted aS security on each, and Mr..

charged with obtaining money under

Archie Kennedy.
Trouble Over Woman at Rockland
Almost Ended In
Murder.

Trouble over Il woman almost cuimln-
ated in murder at Rockland on Satur-
day last night. 1t appears that some
time during last week Archie Kennedy
committed an assault on woman who
reported the matter to Albert Gardner,
who has been keeping company with
her. Gardner was so enraged that he
armed himself with a revolver and as
soon as he espied Kennedy Immediately
fired two shots in quick succession, one
taking effect in the back of the head
and the other in the shoulder.
Although the shots were fired at short
range, singularly enough, neither bullet
entered deep enough to do any serious
damage and DIR. Day was able to ex-
tract them soon after the occurance with
out much effort Kennedy was able to
70 home not much the worse from the
assault. Yesterday morning Kennedy
went before Magistrate Bradley and
swore ont a warrant for Gardeners ar-
rest.
While signing his name to the warrant
he espied Gardner walking leisurly up
Shipley street. He pointed him out TO
Constable Charles Green who immediate
liz arrested him. Magistrate Bradley
held him in $500 bail for court and Ken
nedy was required to give peace bond.

When the men on the hand car heard
the work train blow for the curve they
immediately got off and made an effort
to get the car from the tracks. They
had succeeded in getting two wheels
off when the work train rounded the
curve. Seeing that collision could not

and the fire laddies invited to enter.
They did not stop, however, as they wish

tions, if at all, by December 9th, the

Mr.. Bird brought the subject to the
attention of the court by saying:
IF your honors please, there are GER
tain indictments found against John
Lynn ut this term of court. There are
eleven indictments, one charging n
felony and the other misdemeanors. Mr..
