CARTER IS IN
MORE TROUBLE
Is ACCUSED OF STEALING ARTI-
Giles FROM THE ROYAL
CAFE.
PRELIMINARY HEARING IS CONTINUED
Prosecution Claims They Have Wit
ness Who Knows Carter Sold
the Diamonds.

Not only has George Carter to an
swer to a charge of grand larceny.
but he must also plead to a charge
of petty larceny. The prisoner is
said to have stolen articles much less
in value than Mrs. Crump's dia-
monds. Nicholas Schmittroth, pro-
prietor of the Royal cafe, has sworn
to a complaint charging him with
having stolen several aprons, some
hams and canned goods. 1t seems
that Carter worked as cook and
only recently was it learned that he
knew something about the disap-
pearance of the articles mentioned.
District Attorney Eddy drew up
the complaint yesterday and Schmitt-
roth swOre to it, Mr.. Eddy states
that the aprons were found in Car
ter's quarters at the Richmar and
that there are witnesses who will
swear that he stole the hams and
canned goods, which he is accused of
having sold.
Carter is still in Jail on the charge
of grand larceny. He and Rose Hall
appeared before Justice Bush yes
terday, who is holding court in the
absence of Justice Cartwright, and
after considerable argument on both
sides the court continued the preli-
minary hearing until next Wednes-
day afternoon at 2 o clock.
District Attorney Eddy read the
complaint, which alleged that the de-
PENDANTS stole one diamond ring.
valued at $3.50 and five other set
rings valued at $400, all of which
was the property of Mrs. S. ID.
Crump. Attorneys Zurich, McFad-
den and Devecmon were present to
represent the two defendants. Upon
their request all the witnesses were
put under the rule.
"If it will please the court said
Mr.. Eddy, 1--WE have a very important
witness who is in Ogden and for that
reason we ask that the preliminary
examination be continued until next
Wednesday afternoon at o'clock.
I'VE demand an immediate hear
ing said Attorney Zurich. THE
defendants have been in Jail for SO
hours and it would be an injustice to
refuse them hearing now"

said Attorney McFadden. Il realize
that brother attorney is the prose-
cutting witness and he is probably
somewhat vexed. The defendants.
however want a speedy trial and 1t is
evident that Mr.. Crump wants the
delay and not Mr.. Eddy. We were
here at 10 o'clock this morning and
the district attorney could not be
found, so the case was continued I'M
til this afternoon, and they want to
adjourn it even longer. | do not

the two prisoners.
"The first | knew of the affair"
said Mr.. Eddy, was when I read it
in this mornings News"
The court finally stated that III the
district attorney would produce an
affidavit concerning the missing wit
ness he might grant the continuance.
The affidavit was sworn to by Mr..
Crump and read that the missing wit
ness had left for Ogden in the morn
ing, that he would testify the de-
fendant left the Richmar house short
ly after II O'Clock the night the
rings were stolen and that Carter sold
them.
Attorney Jurich attacked the affi-
davit and stated nat it would he
wrong to make the defendants re-
main in jail any longer.
Don't get excited" said Attorney
Crump. 1T isn't the first time"
Il think that under the circum-
stances the state ought to be pro-
tected as well as the defendants"
said Justice Bush, land for that rea-
son ! will grant continuance until
next Wednesday afternoon at
o'clock"
The attorneys for the defense
wanted the court to reduce Carter's
bail and to permit the woman to go
on her own recognizance. District
Attorney Eddy stated that the law
fixed the minimum amount at $500.
The court fixed the wOman's bail at
that sum and the mans at 81, 900.
No action has been taken in the
petty larceny case further than .he
issuance of the complaint. Carter
may be brought out today to answer
to that charge.
