Judge Horns Defense.
The testimony in the Dolly Dim
pies conspiracy case was brought to
a close i'm the municipal court last
evening at O'Clock, Immediately after
which Judge Horn asked for the dis
mlssal of the charge against Dolly"
In discussing the motion 10 dismiss
the action against the lady, the attor-
ney dwelt upon the merits of the case
as affecting all the defendants. His
contention was that the evidence in
troduced by the state was not suffi-
cicnt 10 prove a conspiracy against
the defendants. but. particularly. that
there had not been a scintilla of evil
dence given to connect Mrs. Curry
with the olfense. Mr. Curry and Mr..
Kicker. the attorney said did all the
business for The Dolly Dimples peo-
pie and Mrs. Curry was simply work,
ing for them on a salary and could

County Attorney Jensen entered into
an argument in the interests Of the
state

testimony like that OF the other de-
PENDANTS. was A direct contradiction
of the testimony given by Van Ness
and Miss Musser I'm behalf of the
prosecution. He was particularly
strong in his contradiction OF things
said by the states witnesses that
tended to prove himself and comrades
guilty of the conspiracy charged He
admitted that he met Van Ness every
day. but denied any wrong act or
conversation.
That White Horse
In the cross-cXaminatiOn Of Mr.
Curry, Immediately before the giving
OF testimony by Kicker. there was
nothing particularly new brought out
He insisted that the horse he and his
wife drove the night of the capture
was a dark animal He also stated
that there had been an intimation that
there was any suspicious against them
regarding the genuineness OF the cap
ture Of Dolly" that they would not
have left the city until the matter
was Strengthened out, and yet, he said
that Mr.. Glasmann told him after the
