Nicholas Card of Newport. alleging the
theft OF certain articles from the pre-
mlses OF Albert III. Wakefield at Lincoln
Park. The consideration OF this case
took up the greater part OF the day and
was finally settled in the discharge of the
defendant by the clerk. the evidence ad-
duced, In the opinion OF the court, show
Ing that son-in-law or the complainant,
who had been previously arrested and
found guilty of appropriating certain OF
the property was the guilty person. The
next business was the complaint Of Phtn-
ney l.. Dawson against Henry Siegel. the
latter threatening to take the formers
life. The last case OF the session was
one against William II. Eldridge. charged
with abducting the 15-year-old grand
daughter OF Lowell M. Greene of Greene
station. Owing TO the large amount of
time taken up by consideration of the
Card-Carpenter case. the Eldredge case
was continued two weeks, and Eldredge

day.
Henry siegel. defendant in the case
brought by Davidson, was admitted to
bail at a previous trial, Charles Forcier
recognizing In the sum OF $500 for his APP
pearance at yesterdays session. Siegel
failed to respond when called and his bail
was declared forfeited.
The condemnation OF certain liquors
gathered in a. raid at Lincoln Park under
authority of search warrant by Special
officer Under the Liquor Law Theodore
4 Andrews. was combattcd by the own
er of the premises. Albert III. Wakefield,

have the case dismissed raising the point
that the warrant under which seizure was
made was defective. The court waived
consideration OF this contention. and
ruled that as the liquors were before the
court. the case should be heard on It's
merits. The case was then continued for
two weeks, the attorney TO file briefs and
authorities. This concluded the business
before the court and adjournment was
taken.
