Many persons visited the Police Court today expecting to see the principals in the Le Cointe tragedy, as it was barely possible that the case would be oalled up, but the expectations were not realized for the witnesses had not been summoned, not even the doctor. Le Cointe was brought up from jail, but as the case was not to be heard he was soon sent | back and the curious spectators did not even get a chance to see him. He looked well, con- sidering the time he has.epent in confinement, and was dressed in @ neatly fitting suit of clothes. There was no report received of the condi- tion of either the prisoner's wife or Charles Frost, the other victim of the shooting affair, and o uently the case went over. Prosecuting Attorney Mullowney told Mr. Carri Prisoner's connscl, that he would have ail the. witnesses summoned for to- morrow, and if the case could not be tried then he would probably be able to set a day certain for the trial. ee aS ARMY ORDERS, Examining Beards Ordered and Ofticers to Appear Before Them.
