Mr.. Heffernan was taken Ill first
with appendicitis and went to De-
troit, where he underwent an opera

get along all right and went OF his
home at Rives. Junction soon after.
Here he remained until three weeks
ago, when he again went to Detroit,
this time for an operation for tumor
of the bowels. tuberculosis of the
blood set in with fatal results, al
though up to a. week ago, conditions
indicated that he was getting better

around.

Case Against Chas. e. Ward An
journed.

When the case of Rep. Charles E
Ward, charged with completely in the
death of Edith Presley, the senate
proofreader, and DR.. George A. Fritch,
charged with granddaughter in connec-
ton with the same tragedy, came up
for examination before Police Justice
Jeffries Friday morning, both were ad.
journed for one month.
The case of Ward was adjourned to
Oct. 4. at the request of his counsel, be-
cause Senator Tuttle, his chief attor-
ney, is in Manchester, England.
When the prosecutor suggested put
ting the Fritch case over, Attorney
Frank 7. Lodge protested. He wanted
his client examined Immediately.
II prefer to try Ward first" said the
prosecuting attorney. Ward is the
chief conspirator in this case, and if
his case fails 1 will myself move to nolle
PROSE- DR.. Fritch's case"
81 do not know what are Mr.. Robi-
sons reasons for desiring to try
Ward first" said Justice Jeffries, but
if it is going to aid public justice I will
follow his suggestion and let the Fritch
case go over"
Prosecutor Robson was of the opin-
ion that a speedy disposition should
then be made and no further delays
granted.
The case against DR.. Fritch was
then called and it was now the prose-
cutor who asked for further time,
II want the examination of Mr.
Ward to come before that of the doc
tor" the prosecutor gave as reason.
Attorney Lodge objected strenuously
''The doctor is suffering from the
onus of this criminal charge and wants
it determined. We have been ready
for months All delays have come
from the prosecutor" he said.
Mr.. Robson pointed out to the court
that both charges grew out of the same
alleged offense.
"Ill say this" he announced, "that l
want Mr. Wards examination first, and
If his case falls through shall drop the
charge against the DOCTOR"
Mr.. Lodge again pleaded against the
adjournment. He told the court that
there was no case against his client as
was plainly shown at the inquest.
The court, however, followed the
request of the prosecutor and granted
the desired postponement.
