same time Michael Bresnahan was in
the city jail serving out sentence
and during the early part OF the day

of assault with attempt to rape. Both

ed.

an information against William Bres-
nahan, charging him with assault with
intent to commit rape, the facts of the
case being told in this paper in yes
terday's issue. Bresnahan entered
plea of not guilty and his time of trial
was set for 10 a. M, August 26, by JUS
tice H. G. Landes, before whom the
case will be tried Bresna.lan was able
to furnish the $1,000 bond required for
his freedom during the present time
nutil the time of trial, Sylvester Hoff-
man and Thomas Ganley being bonds
men.
Westerficld Case.
The case against Clarence Wester-
field mentioned in this paper yester-
day has been quite puzzling to the
prosecution, but it is intimated that
1t will be settled out of court For.
time it was thought that marriage
would end matters as far as the Law
was concerned, but relatives of Emma
Gabel. tsle plaintiff, have interfered
in this respect
The girls home is not far from viele,
and she has lived in Keokuk but for
three months. 1t is possibly that she
may return to her home when affairs
are finally settled, unless Ne two are
married.
