 Exist"
WILk AND ABERLY IN JAIL
Other Complaints Are Coming in of Losses Encountered at Gaming And of Victims of Confidence
 Men Operating Here.

The announcement from Circuit Judge Calvin T. Gotham, that he would provide the sheriff and prose cutting attorney with special grand jury If this is required to an end ot law-enforcement here, and that cir cult court is still in session and would remain in session indefinitely, to the end of aiding in the protection of Hot Springs from law yiolators, were the developments yesterday not alone in the Fox s20.000 robbery case, but the development from conditions unfold ing almost hourly bringing to light heavy losses in gambling houses from visitors, who have been steered to them, and from the manipuators of confidence men who have been at work here.
 Big Charlie Wilk, and Joe Aber- ly. two transients, charged with par ticipating in the grand larceny of the Fox S20,000 were sent to jail after a postponement of their preliminary hearing until next Friday.
 The bond of Charlie Wilk was placed at s20,000, and he was unable to make 1t. The bond of Joe Aberly had been placed at S .000. and he had made 1t, but yesterday Sheriff R. l.. Williams decided that the bondsmen named were not properly qualified, and locked Aberly up with Wilks.

 The first question before him was when the defense again brought up lhe question of the bond of Wilk and endeavored to have this justice undo the work of the other one, and lower the bond. Justice Hinton re- used to interfere with the bond as liked by his colleague.
 Counsel for the prosecution wanted then to enter immediately into a hearing of the case, but there was opposition from tine defense, under the claim that they had not had time 10 consult witnesses, that one wit ness was in the hospital, and that the ueiense could not go into the case at that time
 Under an agreement of all the at torneys the case will be called be- lore Justice Hardy Hinton next Fri day at 10 o'clock in the circuit court room. There was an agreement that no further motions for delay would be made.
 The case was followed with intense interest by the people, who probably were never so aroused as at this time. On the advent of a season, and with conditions existing as at this time, the people had reached a degree of intol- efance. Everywhere there is de-
