oners Sentenced Yesterday.
 The case against David c. Marsh, who was arrested yesterday on a bench warrant charging him with perjury in his own, case last spring, will be heard at the present term of the superior court and as soon as possible. probably in a week or two. Yesterday afternoon. while the Dem ocrat was running off the press, the matter came to Judge Wheeler's at tention in motion to fix bail, by At torney Kennedy, Marsh's counsel. As sistant States Attorney Kellogg, in stating the case, said the accused was one of others who were on strike in this city last spring. A most seri- ous state of affairs existed. he said, resulting in the arrest of Marsh and others for one of the most serious cases that was ever heard~ in the court. Riot> misrule, disorder pre- walled, particularly among one DOT ton of the community. The rights of the people were seriously disre- garGied. The local authorities haG finally to appeal to the state govern ment for protection and two regi- ments of troops were sent here. After the withdrawal of the troops people were injured and property was de- gtroyed, and at length the climax was reached dn the assault of the crew of a car on the Waterville line. The accused was arrested for that crime. MT Kellogg then went over the testimony given by the state in that trial regarding the injuries of the car crew. srrtYf
 He said a large amount of evidence was given which connected. the ac- cused and others with the case. This was followed by evidence of an en- tirely different character and the re- suit was the acqrittal of all the ac- cused. Nevertheless, the state is now satisfied, said MT Kellogg, that Marsh and the others who were oh trial with him committed perjury in that trial In order to save themselves from the very serious punishment that would have been given them had they been found guilty. He asked that bond be imposed that would hold Marsh beyond any possibility of doubt and he hoped he would be able to give him a speedy trial. Concluding, he said the testimony of Marsh and the others resulted in a gross miscarriage Of justice. He asked that bond of $4,000 or $5,O0O be imposed 't''.+
 Replying ito the above, Attorney Kennedy said Marsh was tried with others and acquitted by a jury of his countrymen. He saw no reason why any other cause should be mentioned now in connection with the case against Marsh except to aggravatenit. MarSh's testimony was not a whit different from that given by others who were not on trial. Those wit nesses testified he was not at the scene of the assault on the night 1t was committed, but that he was in another place. 'at .~# ..l t
 we start dn this matter with the assumption of Marsh's innocence," said Mir Kennedy. t"His occupation now is driving a coal cart For, some time he had been working for a rail- road company./ He has,no property, no strong financial friends to give large bail for him and he cannot fur nish a bond of $4.0OO or -$5, GOO. At the trial in question Marsh came to court one day and he was arrested. He was discharged by the jury and he has been working or living around here since. This," said Mir Kennedy, ought to be taken into considera- ton. His trial took place at a time when there was a strike on, every body was excited and people took sides In the matter | A certain cor porati0n figured very prominently in the trial ofeMarsh and that more than anything else brought about his dis- charge" MT Kennedy thought q bond of $500 would be sufficient. Marsh's last bond was $2,OOO. and the fact that he faced trial for. assault with intent to murder should count for him now, concluded Mir Kennedy. Bail was fixed at $1,5OO.
 Before adjourning superior court last evening Judge Ra1pf ! Wheeler disposed of the cases in which the ac- cused changed their plea to guilty. Patrick and Frank Walsh and John O-Hara, charged with attempting. to break into Dennis Delaneys saloon on Baldwin street, were sentenced to four months each in Sail. It being their first appearance in court helped them. Joseph Shields, for breaking Into Joseph B. Pollak's house on Round Hill street, was sentenced to eight months in jail. John Sweeney was sentenced to from one year to if teen months in the state prison. He was charged with theft and with pre- vdous convictions of theft. He stole 2 set of harness from Patrick F.

 Harry T. Moore and George Col lins, young men of 19 and IT years respectively, were out of work when they thought that by breaking into Edward H. Plumb's safe in his mar ket on South Main street they could get to St Louis for the worlds fair. Mir Plumb said they took $7 from the safe, all there was in it Only a very short time elapsed between the burg lary and the burglars arrest, scarcely an haasr , Roth se eT led to be clean
