COURT DECIDES IN

MOT NECESSARY TO ANSWER

The contention of W. H. Carlson,
charged with embezzling $127.65 from
the Consolidated bank, that the prose-
cution must show how the check on
which the embezzlement charge is
based was procured was lost yester-
day, Justice Stephens deciding that II

answer questions in this regard.
In the afternoon Carlson, again act
ing as his own attorney, placed his
former attorneys, Henry T. Gage, H.

ness stand, the purpose being, it is
believed, to impeach the testimony OF
Miss Ida McKittrick, formerly cash

objected to any answers being made
until certain books, entries in which
are the subject of the disputed testl-
mony. were brought into court, and
pending this the preliminary examina-

Before court adjourned Carlson stated
his defense was only in it's preliminary

With a small box, containing a

caused a revolver battle between l.. IL

other, during which many shots were
fred. was dragged from the basement
of the home of Thomas II. B. Varney
at 1911 Orange street yesterday morn
ing and booked at the central police
station on a charge of burglary. His
arrest was due to Watchman w. M.
johnson and A. L. Nelson. who
guarded the house all night, believing
that the man was hiding therein.
When searched before being taken to
the police station, Jones was found to
have three reVolvers. He admitted to
the officers he had ransacked the
house and says he sat near a window
and watched the shooting. He treated
the matter lightly and did not seem
greatly concerned about the affair in
which several persons came near being
killed.
The robbery of the house was discov-
cred by A l.. Nelson, the Watchman.
He had been asked by the Varney fam
lily before their departure for San
Francisco to keep a close watch over
the premises In making his rounds
Nelson discovered that rear window
screen had been cut. He went to the
home of DR.. H. G.. Brainerd, 1861
Orange street. and asked for assistance.
The physician and his son, Fred, OBJ
tained weapons and stood guard over
the house While Nelson telephoned the
police. When several detectives ar
rived shortly afterward a search was
made of the place. The rooms were
found in disorderly condition, but no
trace of the intruder could be found.
FusiIIade at Mail Man
While the physician and his son
were guarding the entrances, Morrill,
came in sight. He wore a hat pulled
over his eyes. Fred Brainerd saw the
mail carrier and asked him what he
was doing. The latter, thinking he
was being held up, drew his revolver
and fired. The physician then appeared
and fired a load of shot at the mail
carrier, who had fled
The charge struck him in the back
and he went to the Hotel Pepper at
Seventh street and Burlington avenue,
where he told his story. He was
traced to the place by the officers and
explanations followed. Then a further
search, without success, however, was
made of the house.
Soon after daylight yesterday morn
ing the two watchmen who had kept
a close guard over the premises sum-
moned Patrolmen Pickert and Platt,
and a further search of the house re-
vealed the hiding place of Jones, who
was perched on a beam in the cellar
Morrill, is not critically injured. The
affair of last night resulted in an or
der being issued by Assistant Post
master w. H. Harrison to the effect
that all mail carriers who wear over
coats while on duty must wear the
regulation one, which will distinguish
them from others.
