MINNIE's CASE DROPPED.
Minnie Ferreira's suit against Lorrin
Andrews came to its end Monday night.
Mr.. Watson, counsel for plaintiff, asked
for continuance on the grounds of the
change of counsel and the absence of a
material witness. Mr. Andrews object
ed, saying the first ground was imma-
terlal and, as to the second, no
subpoena had ever been issued for the
witness in question. Moreover, every
time the case had been called, the de-
fendant answered ready.
Judge De Bolt refused a continuance,
whereupon Mr.. Watson filed a discon-
unuance. There was considerable
flourish over this suit at it's inception.
which gave it the appearance of a po-
litical assault on Attorney General
Andrews. He was always ready for
the trial and at the last resisted the
continuance of the case as being moth
ing but one of bIackmail.
