CONCLUDED TODAY.

Following the exposures of Donald
son on the day before, the session OF
the preliminary hearing in the Sheets
case yesterday proved somewhat tame.
Alexander ana William McWhirter and
w. H. Parent. one of the bunco men
who turned states evidence. were
called by the state. Their testimony
was devoid of interesting features and
was practically the same as had been
testified to heretofore by the same
men.
Rv noon today the states case Will
be completed, and it is improbable that
any defense Will be given at this time.
The state has decided not TO call Bell,
and it has but one or two COMPARE
lively unimportant witnesses left TO
call. A motion to dismiss the case
will he made by the defense at the
close of the states case, and the arSu-
ment on this motion will probably &C.
cupy most of the afternoon. II is eX-
pected that Judge Bishop will deny
the motion and that Sheets will be
bound over to the district court with
out further testimony being taken.
