OGDEN
CASE 40 DAYS
Each Side Gets 20 Days in
Which to Prepare
Briefs.

ELkINS, W. Va, July 1.-THE con.
tempt proceedings against Editor H.
c. ogden OF the Wheeling Intelligen-
Ger in the United States District Court
here, so far from being brought to a
close yesterday, as had been expected,
will not be terminated for at least ~
days. At the conclusion OF Judge John
H. Hollis argument late yesterday af-
ternoon, Judge Edmund Waddell an.
nounced that Mr.. We'll and MS 1885,
ciates would be granted 20 days in
which to file a brief and counsel for
the defendant 20 days after that in
which to file a reply brief, after
which a decision will be handed down
on the demurrer and the motion TO
quash.
Shortly before the noon recess At
torney Well brought Attorney Biz
zard, OF counsel for the defense, to his
feet when he declared that all the ar.
ticles ever printed in contempt pro.
ceedings would hardly equal the false
hoods uttered in the publications
which figured in the case now being
heard. Judge Blizzard said that re-
Election had been made in court upon
mis- client which Mr. Well would not
dare to make outside. Mr.. Well apoi-
ogized and the case proceeded.
The arguments advanced in the
case which were begun in the United
States District Court for the Northern
district OF West Virginia. resolved
themselves into a question as to
whether private utterances, letters or
newspaper publications uttered be.
yond the presence OF the court though
directed toward it, but not within the
presence OF the court or SO near there
by as to effect its decorum, conStitut-
ed contempt and it was toward that
question that Mr.. Well directed his
attention in closing the arguments ULl
his side OF the case this morning, Mr..
Wells principal contention being that
the criterion was not physical propin-
guilty but the nature OF the act com
mitted. tending to affect or oDSrrucl
the administration OF justice under
section 725, Mr.. Well basing his con-
tention on frequent quotations from
the opinion OF Judge Killets in the
case Of the United States against
Toledo Newspaper Company He
maintained with vigor that the ques-
ton for the court to decide was wheth-
er courts have right to protect them
selves against utterances offensive to
all the canons OF law.
The argument for the defense was
closed by John H. Holt, OF Hunting
ton.

ABUSED GIRL HAS
STRANGE FEARS
May Be Victim of Hypnotic
Suggestion Improving
Slowly.

Investigations being E>ade by the
agent OF the Humane /ociety at Man
nington have led to 10 clue as TO the
identity OF Anna Tialtman." the II
year old girl who Lsas SO inhuNlanly
treated by gang OF crooks and their
accomplices for /he past year. NO
word has been TLceiyed in answer to
inquiries made IN Pittsburgh, Connels'
vile or Indianapolis.
1t is quite certain that the police
officials in the Pennsylvania cities
through which the girl has passed
would know nothing Of her. but from
the story told by the girl that there
is a man serving life term in the
Indiana state penitentiary for attempt
ed on her the authorities should be
able to locate the child's parents. or
at least furnish the Warrington police
with information concerning her.
The several residents Of Warrington
that ventured the statement that the
girl is a kidnapped child, still persist
that IN their opinions the girl is the
daughter Of DR.. Winters. the Indiana
physician whose child was kidnapped
ABOUT TWO years ago.
The little girl is beginning to show
signs OF the good treatment afforded
her by Mrs. John Stephens. who has
the case in hand. The child when she
came into Mrs. Stephens home show.
ed a terrible fear Of any one in uni.
form. and was taught that glimpse
of an officer of the law was sign to
either hide or get away at once. She
has changed somewhat in this respect
in the past week.
A Fairmont physician who has seen
several such cases states that the girl,
who no doubht has been under the in.
fiuence OF hypnotic suggestion, Is in
no position to tell exactly what has
happened to her or where she has been
for the past year.

an alarm on Quincy street yesterday
shortly after p. N. The truck went
down Washington street and when
starting up Madison sounded its siren
and bell continuously.
. For some reason the street cars be-
tween Main street and Jackson NOV
ed right up between two wagons and
blocked the road. 1t was necessary
then to have three street cars reverse
and get out OF the way. The fire en-
zine had to stand and wait until this
movement was completed, losing
about i've or eight minutes.
Luckily there was no damage to the
property which started to burn. but
this delay could very easily have been
avoided. The fire started in gar
age IN back of Quincy street, but was
under control before the arrival OF the
hose cart.
Persons that had gathered near the
scene claim that If the fire had spread
the truck could not get close enough
to. play the hose on 1t on account OF
the bad condition Of Quincy street.
