In writing to q friend Senator Bur

viction that lie is mot Il criminal" but
added that "if it all could be told. just
us Il is. the absolute truth. it would ap-
pail the world" If the implication il
this somewhat remarkable utterance
has any foundation in fact, all good
citizens cannot but hope that Burton's
prediction. made elsewhere in the same
letter, that some time it will be

But what are these fearful disclosures
that are to set the world by the ears? ?
If Senator Burton knows of such deep,
dark things. why does he not speak
out? Why simply be content with
rather ominously limiting that some

not turn it on now? If there are 9th

Recent discoveries reveal that many
of the ancient myths the world had re-
garded as of the exploded variety have
a basis of fact. For example, there Is
the story Of the Roman youth who
jumped on horseback into chasm.
The augurs had announced that only
by some such self immolation could
the chasm be closed. Immediately
after the heroic act, according to tradi-
ton, the orifice disappeared. The mod
ern world smiled at the tale, or did un.
til a few days ago, when excavations
discovered the mouth Of the chasm,
containing roughly sculptured stones
recounting the exploit of the young
man, together with the remains Of sac
rifices afterward made to his memory.

NISHWITZS IN PUBLIC EYE
Serious Charges Against Judge Pratt
of Arapahoe. Judge Stevens Stands
Up for William NiShWitZ in the Affair

ing in the Denver papers that. Mrs.
Nishwitz claims residence in Arapahoe
for the past year. Shs sned for di-
vorce and Mr.. Nishwitz could not find
any trace of her since she left here in
order to get service upon her.
When at last Ben G. Hilliard, Mr.
Nishwitz's attorney found where size
was and in what court she was en-
deavoring to get the divorce and
learned also about the collision APP
parentlv between her alleged attorney
Taylor and Judge Pratt. he made des-
perate effort to get change of venue
but Pratt was obdurate and would lis
ten to nothing.
Finally Judge Stevens interviewed
and made Judge Pratt look like thirty
cents and William Nishwitz. whom
every body here pities because of his
martial troubles, will doubtless at
last get chance to save some of his
hard earned property.
The following account is taken
The daily sentinel. [volume] (Grand Junction, Colo.) 1893-current, 1904-09-14

The Nishwitzs are again in the
public eye. this time in Arapahoe
county, with Littleton as the place of
the legal proceedings. On account OF
the charges of collision between Judge
Pratt of tho county court and enc F.
B. Taylor. an attorney who was de-
barred from practice by the supreme
court for having railroaded divorce
cases through the courts, Judge Their
on Stevens appears on the scene as an
avenging angel against the attempt of
Mrs. Nishwitz to get all of William
Nishwitz's property and makes serious
charges against Taylor and questions
the attitude of Judge Stephen. R.
Pratt. before whom the case was to
have come for trial.
Judge Stevens has successfully
blocked the case from coming to trial
before Judge Pratt. in an endeavor to
save for Mr.. Nishwitz some of his
property.
1t appears from the articles appear

from the Times of yesterday. showing
how Judge Stevens interfered.
HE overruled the protests in the
face of various atfidavits and ordered
the payment of alimony, court costs
and 500 attorney fees. NAn effort was
also made to take the case from Judge
Pratt, because the amount involved
S20000-was largely in excess of the
limit imposed by law for county court
cases. viz, $4,000. This was also
turned down. On July 10 Nishwitz
appeared by Mr.. Hilliard and Frank
@. Geudy while the wife was reprs-
sented by j. H. Deweese and @. W.
Kuy kendall. but the arguments for a
rehearing of the motions were contin-
ned. Finally Judge Pratt overruled
all the motions and set the case for to
day before him in Littieton.
Judge Stevens was then sought and
granted writ of prohibition com
manding Judge Pratt to stop all pro-
ceedings in the case and to certify
the ma tier to him. This writ was
granted upon affidavits that Judge
Pratt has greatly exceeded and abuse
his powers as judge and usurped al
jurisdiction not vested by law. Judge
Pratt is commanded to appear on Oc
tober 4 and state why the prohibition
writ should not be made permanent. "
The facts in the case are we'll
known to every body in this city and
it is to be hoped that the Denver dis
barred attorney and his fellow accom-
plice in what appears to be an en-
deavor to railroad something through
the latter's CONT. will be defeated in
their object and the remnant of the
properly of Nishwitz saved to him.
