CARNEY TO HAVE
A NEW HOSPITAL
Alma Doctor Has Leased The
Shepard Residence and Will
Turn II Into a Hospital.

DR.. T. j. Carney of this city has
leased the V. II. Shepard home on
Woodworth avenue, just to the south
OF Miller Bros. grocery, and is plan
ming on opening a private hospital
there about March /.
In the meantime DR.. Carney expects
to do great deal of changing about
the residence to fit it up in first class
shape for hospital, and will go TO a
considerable expense in remodeling
and equipping his new hospital.
One of the features of his new
hospital will be an ouerating room
which he will fix mp there, with the
latest devises for such work. Such
fixtures as he now has in his College
avenue hospital, which will be availa-
BILE for the new place will be moved
to the Shepard home before that
time.
1t is his intention to secure a matron
&c have charge of the hospital, and to
have some competent nurses there at
all times. His private hospital on
College avenue has outgrown its
present quarters and the Shepard
hcme will give the additional room,
which is needed by DR.. Carney
DR.. Carney will also move his offices
from the Merchants Building company
block to the Shepard home, when the
change is made, so that he may thus
be able to devote more time 10 his
patients which may be under his
charge, and he will be equally avail
able for others who may wish his
services.
Mr.. and Mrs. V. H. Shepard expect
to move into their new residence with
in the next two weeks, when the
overhauling Of the Shepard home will
be started to put it into shape for the
hos Nital.

has been his home continually since
1881. Mr. Lathrop has been failing
in health for three years past and but
for the maintenance of his remark
able carriage and persistence in fight
ing what eventually proved inevitable,
would undoubtedly have died before
he did. He had realized for some time
that he had been fighting losing
fight, for he told the friends who
dropped in to see him that he feared
his death was only few days away,
and his fears were justified, for last
Sunday he breathcd his last.

daughter, was born to this union,
Nettie B., April 2lst, 1882.
Politically, he was republican of
the staunchest type and one of the
recognized leaders of the party in
Seville township, though he never as
pired TO public office. Mr.. Lathrop
took commendable pride in exhibiting
to his friends a document which came
TO him from the managers of the
Worlds Columbian exposition at Chi
cago. 1t is q fnel' engraved diploma
of honorable ment on from the com
mittee, on awards for the part he took
in organizing, setting up, and manag-
ing the Michigan lumber camp, with
all its details of logwoodsman ac-
coutred and equipped in the fashion
so familiar to the old settlers Of Gra-
tiot. Mr.. Lathrop was ElwelPs most
honorable and respected citizen; quiet
and unassuming in manner, but just
ly recognized as a man of solid worth
by all in a business and official way.
He leaves a record that the surviving
relatives can point to with pride.
He is survived by his wife and

MURDER CASES
START MARCH 4
Attempt by Detective TO Bribe
Was Alleged by Smith in
Asking Trial At Once.
DEFENCE ASKED CONTINUANCE
Court Opening Was Delayed Until
Tuesday When Late Trains Held
Up Judge f. J. Monet.

Despite the motion Of the defense to
continue the Albert Eichorn, John +.
Brennan and Inez Johnson murder
eases until the April term of court,
Judge f.. j. Monet ruled Tuesday that
the Albert Eichorn case. which will bc
the first to be tried shall start March
H.
The prosecution, represented by Ora
l.. Smith and Kelly S. Scarf, asked for
an immediate trial, pointing out in
cidentally among other things that an
alleged attempt to bribe a witness had
been made. This was brought out by
Prosecuting Attorney Ora l.. Smith,
tc whom reports in connection with
the alleged bribery attempt had been
made.
Among other things, in the motion
for a continuance, the defense held
that it had witnesses in Florida. Ohio
and Illinois, which it needed and whom
could not be gotten here in case that
the trial was started Immediately The
defense represented that it understood
that one of the witnesses in Ohio was
i'll. Kelly S. Searl went after this
matter claiming that no doctors GER
tificate Of such fact was presented. etc.
and Judge Moinet ruled with him.
Judge Monet set the Eichorn case
foi March fourth, believing that this
would give the defense plenty of time
tC get its witnesses for the trial.
Nothing was done in regard to the
other cases, which the prosecution ex-
poets to take up following the Eichorn
case. The Eichorn case is regarded
as the strongest of the three, and for
this reason is taken as the first for
trial
The defense made it known that it
would file motion for a change Of
venue before March 4. 1t is expected
that the motion will be filed this
coming Monday, and at this time
another battle is expected between
prosecution and defense as the prose
cution will fight such a motion TO the
limit. In giving notice that a motion
for a change of venue would be filed,
the defense claimed that a fair trial
could not be secured in Gratiot coun-
ty particularly in the case of Eichorn,
If such a change of venue is granted
the trials will probably be held in
Saginaw or Mt. Pleasant, but probably
the former city because the circuit
court docket there is reported as un-
usually light
In the case against Inez Johnson
alleged to have kept house of i'll
fame, motion was made TO dismiss.
Judge Monet has this proposition
under advisement.
Seen here yesterday Kelly S. Searl,
acting with Prosecutor Ora l..
Smith in behalf Of the people in these
cases, was asked about the alleged
efforts at bribery, and he said that
they would l.. investigated from the
ground up, and that if prosecution
was warranted, il would come.
