she was with difficulty keeping back the tears. She was disappointed when she found that hers was not the first case on the list. The ordinary grist of a police court was thrashed out before she was called to the bar. Meantime there had been loud and frequent calls for "Mr. Warner" This was "Dicky'' Warmer, whose daintily furnished studio in Fifty fifth street is said to have been the meeting place for many of the set with which Miss Kelly fraternized. But ''Dicky" was not present. Val O'Farrell and MT. Mcintyre wished he was. Dederick had tried to arrange with Mr. Mcintyre for a long adjournment, but counsel for the prosecution de- clined to agree to anything but an immediate hearing, so the young law yer asked the court to put the case over for two weeks on account of the illness of Mir. Crocker.Y
 District Attorney Interested.
 Mcintyre objected. The hearing had gone over from Saturday at the re- quest of the defence. he said, and he was prepared to go on. He had pres- ent a dozen or more witnesses, and he did not think it fair to them or to the court to compel them to waste their time
 .sFurthermore," said Mcintyre, "the representative of the district attorney. who is much interested in the possible developments of this cas, joins ne through his representative here in op- posing such an adjournment.
 This was the first public intimation that the district attorneys office had taken a hand in the case.
 1T am surprised to know that the district attorney is interested in this case" remarked Dederick.
 ''The district attorney is very much interested in any criminal prosecution that may grow out of this case. de- clared Deputy Assistant District At torney William Spies. Tt is peculiar that neither MT. Mcintyre nor the dis trict attorneys office was notified ',f of MT. Crocker's illness. Nor is there any legal evidence here that Crocker Is sick"
 .But we did not know that the dis trict attorney was interested" per-. sisted MT. Dederick
 In Case from Start.
 seThe district attorneys office has been in the case from the start, said the court When this warrant was issued 1t opposed the defendant being paroled and insisted on bail being given
 Dederick then insisted that it would be impossible for another attorney to familiarize himself with the case on such short notice. There would be twenty or thirty witnesses for the de- fence he said.
 Magistrate Bruse did not agree with this a.l
 Tt should not require any great amount of labor to arrive at the facts in this case,', said, he. "The issue is clear as to whether or not this .de-, fendant was disobedient to the au- thority of her mother, her natural and legal guardian, and whether she was associating with depraved and vicious people. and if so, she IS liable (here the court paused ana dropped his voice) to become morally depraved.''
 Won't Give up Al Davis. For a moment it looked as though l the girl was wavering, and the tears seemed nearer than before. She pulled herself together with an effort and snapped out a declination of the offer. " will not return home" she de- clared. 1T will not apologize to any l body, I will not give up Al Davis, won't give up any of my friends, I'll l see the case through. They cannot send me away. My mother started this 4 ball rolling and I'll wind it up. '.Do you realize what that means, { young lady?" asked MT. Spies. That l you may be sent away to an institu-
 tion? Do you know what that sI means ?''
 . Full of Fight.
 I A"Mind your own business" she re- T piled, now full of fight; its that's 8I going to jail, and not you. I That ended for the moment the ef- { fort at a reconciliation between mother and daughter, and slowly the {. court room cleared, Miss Kelly again I shading her face with a paper as she rushed, out Before she left she was I served by mistake with a summons and complaint in land case She l was in a hurry. she said, to meet her
