Judge Blair was here to try a habeas
corpus case. II appears that some two
years ago James Toughey adopted a
little Italian girl by the name of Amelia
Chiafari. The child was one of a num-
Der brought by an agent of the New
York juvenile asylum. to which the
father had relinquished all his rights as
a parent. A few days ago. the father,
accompanied by the stepmother pre-
scented themselves at the Toughey home
and demanded possession of the child,
enforcing his demand by the display of
weapons and threats Of murder Tough
ey swore ont a warrant charging him
with enticing child from her lawful
guardians. On that charge he was ar
rested and passed the night il. Jail. The
next morning Toughey applied for Il
writ of habeas corpus which was
granted by Judge Blair. who came here
and spent Tuesday hearing the case. He
held that the father was not a proper
person to have charge of the girl and
also that the influences thrown about
her in the Toughey home were not Of
the most elevating character therefore
ordered her turned over to j. w.
Shields, agent for the organization that

This testimony, given by Deputy

the bombshell which the state prepared
for the second trial of Mrs. Gallaugheg.
The conversation was alleged to have
taken place in Attorney Holberts' of

The interrogatories of States Attor-
ney Hart, in leading up to this tesu-
mony. were bitterly contested for i'm
materially, on the ground that the
conversation was not connected with

court had long talks about the rulings
and the attorneys and the court with

consultation. Judge Dyington finally

of Mr.. Chairman.

The court here interposed and re-
fused to allow testimony as to what the
attorney for the defendant said III his
excitement.
Mr.. Clearman's testimony is relied
upon as showing silence under accusa-
ton an admission of guilt. Mr. Clear
mans testimony was rendered less val
liable by his own testimony that he re
ceived s25 from the defendant and $3.50
from the state for his detective work in
with the case, and that both
sides supposed he was korking In their
interests.
In his cross-examination of Mr..
Chairman, Mr.. Holbert asked him as to
many statements made to various per-
sons as to Mrs. Gallaugher's being in
nocent, highly virtuous, and that no
Indictment would lie returned against
her. Mr. Chairman remembered none

circulate Monday afternoon. There
We're all kinds of runners in the air,

THE CHARGE NOT SUSTAINED
Special to Times-Republican.

Special to Times Republican.
Nevada March 4.-There was rather
a peculiar case tried in Judge Lar
sons court in this city yesterday. in
which Mayor l.. Schlaubusch, Of
Roland, was tried on a charge of not
turning over money collected for fines
to the proper fund. The case APP
pears to be one where personal spite
and malice was considerable factor.
C. Ullstadt, proprietor of pool hall
in that city was the complaining wit
ness.
From the evidence it appears that
the complaining witness was arrested
some time last summer on a charge of
allowing minors in his place of bust
ness. He was brought before the may
or and assessed fifteen dollars and
trimmings which he paid. Since that
time he has had more or less trouble
with the municipal authorities. Last
week Town Marshal Stole went into
the pool hall to arrest some disorderly
DRINKS when a fight ensued, after
which the proprietor had the Marshal
arrested for disturbing the peace, on
which charge he was acquitted before
a Story City justice. After learning
that there was waiting in the Roland
city ordinances to Justify the fine inn
posed upon him for permitting min
ors in his pool hall, Ullstadt caused the
arrest of the mayor, contending that
the fine must have been made under
the statutes which provide that such
fines shall be paid into the county
school fund. The defense took the po-
sition that SO long as there was nothing
in the ordinances to cover the point
and the fine was imposed by the mayor,
in his capacity as such, it was improp
erly imposed and the mayor was in no
way criminally liable for not turning it
into the school fund where 1t did not
belong. Mayor Schlaubusch was ac-
quilted of the charge.
