EPPINGERS AND DEMING
APPEAR FOR ARRANGEMENT
owing to Absence of Special Counsel
for the Prosecution Con-
tinuance Is Granted.


Herman Eppinger, Jacob Eppinger,
Josua Eppinger and James Deming
appeared in Judge LawIor's court yes
terday for arraignment on an indict-
ment charging them with obtaining
money by false pretenses. Herman
and Jacob were represented by Attor-
neys D. j. Murphy and James H.
Budd; Josua by Attorney Edgar D.
Feixotto, and Deming by Attorney
John A. Hosmer.
AS there are two indictments. the
arraignment on the second being set
for tomorrow, it was suggested that
continuance be made so that the de-
PENDANTS could be arraigned on both
a the same time. The District Attor-
ney said it would take over an hour
to read each Of the indictments.
L have no objections, said Budd,
but don't like to be called out Of bed
almost every morning to look after
bonds because a new indictment has
been found by the Grand Jury. Two
OF the defendants are out on $4,000
bonds and one on $50, 900, and I would
suggest that if there are to be any
more indictments the bonds should be
made as low as possible"
AS Attorney j. c. Campbell, special
counsel for the prosecution, Is out of
the city, 1t was decided to continue
the cases for arraignment of the de-
PENDANTS till February 4, in the ex-
pectation that Campbell might then be
present.
