l.. 3. Hindman decided not TO run the
risk OF a trial in Judge McPherson's court
at Council Bluffs after the motion made
by his attorney, Judge Ben s. Baker of
Omaha, submitted for a continuance upon
the ground that his wife" In New York
city was dangerously m and yesterday
morning pleaded guilty like the rest Of the
Mabray mixers. A telegram from New
York stated that the man was not married
at all. With the four other Mabrayites he
viii take his sentence next Tuesday.
With the consent Of District Attorney
Temple the case OF Ben Marks WAS con-
tinued until the September term, and only
a few more OF the Mabray cases await dis
! position At this term. Wright, from okla
homa. and c. f. Phrpot Of Los Angeles,
win be here for trial next week third
one is w T. Crider, who was arrested at
Los Angeles on Thursday and who an
nounced his willingness TO start for Council
/ Bluffs at once He will also face the court
next week
Orders arrest is an important one. He
is asserted to he the associate and friend
OF Thielman, and is charged with mixing
! the man from Louisville, KY, who came
here with his attorney and located Thiel-
man and another man, who then gave the
name Of Alstead, at the Millard hotel in
! Omaha. They we're not held however, for
! the reason that the offense was committed
in Iowa. Crder is said to be the man who
then went under the name OF Alstead. Both

give some very important testimony II
called upon, but as all Of the mixers are

tunity to do so.
