Prospect That No Further
Prosecution Will
Develop.

The prosecuting attorneys Office
will not take up the further prose
cution of Charles e. Horton until
after the new prosecutor, Fred
Pugh, takes charge of the Office
next Monday. The further action
of the state will be determined by
Mr.. Pugh, who is at present in
Olympia attending the sessions of
the commission codifying the Grim
inal laws of the state.
1t is generally believed that the
prosecution of Horton will end
with his acquittal in the Holley-
Mason case, for the reason that the
handicaps encountered by the
state in the late trial would also
present themselves in the other
cases against Horton.

of the $4,000 put up by Horton to

tied without litigation. Horton and
Sheldon were under bond to the
city treasurer, and so long as there
is a shortage claimed it will be
incumbent upon them or their
bondsmen to protect the treasurer.
The city will lose nothing.
A. c. Shaw, one of the attorneys
for Horton, says Horton has said
nothing to him about making any
demand for the return of the
money put up with the city treas
urer. Horton himself last night
stated that he had nothing to say

against him. He stated that a num-
Der of the items turned in by the
experts as shortages were not
such, as could be shown by indis-
putable evidence. Some of these
items represented bills that had
been cancelled by the city council,
and others had been compromised
and only partial payments made on
them. Yet these items are charged
up in full on the experts report.

never appeared. He is we'll fixed

his share of the alleged shortage,
but is standing pat" on the pay
ment of it. The $1,000 difference
between the amount paid by Hor-
ton and, the total of the shortage
reported by the experts was paid
by Eggleston himself.
The jury that heard the Horton
case were convinced that there
was a shortage in the water Office.
but could not tell from the evil
dence~who got the money.
This was the chief stumbling
block with the jury, the absence of
proof that Horton got the specific
item with which he was charged.
The failure of the city to make a
complete Investigation of the treas
urer's Office gave the defense a
loophole in the breastworks of the
state on which they turned their
heavy guns.

MOTHER TAKES
CHARGE Of
CHILD

Mrs. Mae Jones, 91S Second ave-
nue., today won first blood in the
habeas corpus proceedings against
her husband, A. c. Jones Of Chi
cago, for the possession of their
son, Burton Immel Jones, aged IS
months. Judge Hinkle authorized
the mother to take possession of
the babe, which has been at the
Juvenile detention rooms, and take
it to the home of her parents, Mr..
and Mrs. William M. Immel, until
Monday morning, on the deposit of
a bond for $500, which was ex-
pected to be put up this afternoon.
An ill-advised love affair is at the
bottom of the trouble of the
Joneses. Mrs. Jones is % and her
husband is 46. Two and half
years ago they met at Pontiac, ILL.,,
where the girl lived and Jones was
introduced to her as a detective Of
high standing at Chicago. Jones
paid much attention to the girl,
who was greatly impressed with
the romance of his profession and
fell deeply in love with him. She
says she was warned by her par
ents and friends to let Jones alone,
but thought she knew best and left
her home to marry him, over the
protest of her parents.
She went to Chicago and was
married in a fiat fitted up by Jones,
and all went well for time.
Mrs. Jones says she learned that
Jones had been married twice be-
fore, but had been divorced both
times, and had a son who never
visited him and who was older
than Mrs. Jones herself.
Jones, the wife says, had on,y
one detective case OF any i'm
portance after they were married,
and devoted most of his time 70
bookmaking and playing the races.
She says his sportive tendencies
developed to such an extent that
he mortgaged her diamond ring
and tried to mortgage her piano
when she left him suddenly last
September.
Mrs. Jones says she will sue FOR
divorce as soon as she has been
In the state of Washington one
year. Her husband, she says, can
not sue for desertion under the
Illinois law until two years after
she has left the state.
At the hearing next Monday
Jones' attorneys will move for a
continuance in the case for one
month to enable him to return to
Chicago and take some dispositions
connected with his right to take
the child. The purpose Of these
dispositions, 1t is believed, is to
show that Mrs. Jones is not a
proper person to be entrusted with
the rearing of the youngster.
