Latter Takes Change of Venue to JUS
tice cIeland and Case is Aired at
Court House.

w. w. Wilmerton this morning
waived a preliminary examination on
the charge of assault with intent to
commit murder, which grew out of the
revolver duel on Third avenue, in
which Wilmerton and John Looney
were the principals. Wilmerton was
held to the grand jury under $4,000
bail, and furnished the same bail as
he gave for his appearance for the
preliminary hearing before Magistrate
Elliott, his sureties being James Nc
Namara and Hon. T. j. Medill.
In anticipation of rather exciting
hearing, large crowd had gathered at
the police station, and it was decided
to hold the trial in the county court
room. Accordingly the spectators and
witnesses adjourned to the court room,
and there was a general expression of
disappointment when it was announced
that the defendant had appeared at
the police station and waived exam
ination. Leoney wanted to have his
hearing started at once, and requested
that the states attorney use the same
witnesses as had been called for the
Wilmerton case. This, the state 5
attorney > declined to do, stating
that other witnesses would be used by
the state, and that the hearing would
not be started until this afternoon, as
the case had been continued to ?
o'clock. Looney gave notice that he
would ask for a change of venue 20

Searle was present to look after the
interests of Mr.. Wilmerton, taking nc
part in the proceedings, however. j
T. Kenworthy appeared for Looney.
The state asked for a continuance
on the ground that Mr.. Wilmertor
would decline to testify at this time

that the proceedings should continue
at once.

DIVES ALLOWED BY
STATE LAW
CODE WHICH PLACES
A BAN ON TIPPING AND Gig
ARETTES TOLERATES HOUSES
OF ILL FAME AND VICE.

Giving of tips or smoking cigarettes
is misdemeanor, according to the
view of the trainers of the criminal
code. but houses of i'll fame and vice
are no longer under the ban of the
state code.
Although several weeks were spent
lin getting up the code, not one pro-
vision is made against these dives.
Not only are they overlooked in the
new code, but the former laws re-
Iating to them are definitely repeal
ed and wiped off the statute books,
and such places now appear to be
recognized by the state laws as le-
ultimate business enterprises.
The provisions of the old law,
which is repealed, are as follows:
Every person who shall keep a
house of i'll fame in this state, or who
shall reside in such house for the
purpose aforesaid, shall be deemed
guilty of misdemeanOr, and upon
conviction thereof shall be punished
by Imprisonment in common jail
for a term not exceeding six months
or by a fine not exceeding 500 or
! by both such fine and Imprisonment.
Every person who shall let or
rent any room or building for a
gaming house of i'll fame in this state,
| or who shall reside in such house
shall be guilty of a misdemeanor and
upon conviction thereof shall be fined
| in any sum not exceeding 500.
