prosecution of Fahrenholz, who was
charged with the larceny of s1,379 from

as cashier The bond was forfeited be-
cause Fahrenholz didn't appear on We'd
nesday.

cenies of FahrenhoIz, had actually fur
nished the bond of $3.50 in which Fahren-
hoIz had been at liberty since his arrest.

partnents Of the surety company were
working Independently.

tempt of court. Judge Malone ordered a

further she said she might have had in

told the court that she was acting under
the instructions of her counsel. Reilly, a
statement which the lawyer denied. saying
that he wanted TO have the negro girl as
one of his servants Justice Greenbaum
told Reilly he believed ne had been guilty
of a breach of trust and had tried to OBJ
struct the course of justice and would have
to answer a charge of contempt of court.

suit. is the secretary of the Acheson-Har-
den Company The correspondent in the
action is Eugene H. Burr. VINO was ar

sued by his wife, Emma B. Stewart. twice
for divorce and once for separation, he has
won every time without the formality of d
trial The third case, an action for di-

signed an order barring Mrs. Stewart from
giving any testimony on the trial to sup
port her contentious of wrongdoing on The

Mrs. Stewart before her marriage lived

Stewart sued for a separation with alimony
soon after the wedding, but quickly dropped
the action. A previous action for divorce
never came 10 trial, and Mrs. Stewart has

Immediately after the explosion ten days
ago. the two departments began an in
vestigation. Men in each department have
been going over old sewer charts. and
others have been making surveys.
A new theory advanced by some Of the
older employees of the Park Department
