favor the poor wretch III .r.,l a,A l.i!.
very different story on the STAND iroIn
that she had previously told and there
was nothing left for Attorneys Campbell
and Gregory to do but to move for a dis
missal of the case. The Judge ordered
Poole held. On Wednesday 81 this week
he was given a hearing on a charge Of
enticing young girls to his room. The
girl who was called blythe state last week
took the stand and gave information to
the effect that she had been influenced
at first by outside parties to make it as
easy as possible Tor Poole. Her tes,i-
mony now corresponds with that given
to Messrs. Campbell and Gregory at tho
time the complaint was made out.
The hearing in Justice Folsom's court
was completed Thursday afternoon and
Poole was held to district court.
The state against c. F. Merry was the
same old story, a continuance asked Tor
by defendant who, through his attorney,
W. G.. Crawford, filed an affidavit that
on his way home to attend court he was
taken sick and had to stopoff at Livings-
ton, Mont, and that it would probably be a
week or two before he could travel again:
No one here appeared to be alarmed
about Merry's claimed illness, and the
Judge appeared to be a little vexed at
defendants continued application and
showing for ~continuances of trial and or.
dered that his bond of 5000 be forfeited
and that he be put under a S~l5oo-bond
for his appearance at the next term Of
court. 'rhls will be rather binding on
Merry and his sickness will probably
not seize him at so great a distance iron
home next time. M. l.. Mcbride and {
E. Gregory appeared for the state.
