LAW HEARING IS
 AGAIN CONTINUED
WILL PROBABLY COME UP WHEN GRAND JURY MEETS AT ENSLEY IN APRIL-NEWs OF THE STEEL CITY.

Ensley, March 29.-(SpeciaL)-1t is prob- able that the preliminary hearing of Dave Law, the saloonkeeper that is set for trial before Judge Charles H. Mandy in the inferior court tomorrow morning, will be continued on account of the ill- ness of Capt. Frank s. White, one of the leading attorneys for the prosecution. MT. Law is charged with killing Neil Mullin a miner of Wylam on the night of March 5.
 The hearing has been set three times. The other times it was continued by the request of the attorneys. As the grand jury meets on April 4, it is not probable that the case will be tried before that date.
 The crime with which Law Is charged with was committed in his saloon on the night of March 5. The trouble is al- legged to have grown out of the payment for four glasses of beer that Law charged to Mullin Owing to the prominence of both the men the outcome of the trial is attracting considerable attention in this city and Wylam.
