The court room was crowded when Judge Borka called the case and the scloction of a jury bogan, Fiftoen jurors were examined beforo the attorneys announced that thoy had no more challenges. When complote the jury consisted of Phillip Andres, Dennis Cunningham, 8. A. Orchard, Gus Kauf- man, Peter Kindis and M. Watlirmin, Prior to the taking of any tesumony, Gen oral Smith asked that the bond of Markstein be forfeited. This was objected to by the defense, who claimed that & man could be tried for a misdemeanor ulthough hie was not present, and that the prosecution had elocted 10 try both cases at on T'ho court ove rulod the objecsion and forfeited Margstein’s bond and 1ssued @& bench warrant ' for his arrest. As tho gentleman is in Council Bluffs, and likoly to remain thore, it 1s prob- able that it will not be servea. Miss Leola Holland was tho first witness, Hor testimony was to the affect that Ritehio and Markstein overtook them at Fiftcenth and Dodge and that the latter had accosted them. o a fow moments Ritchie came up and spoke to her, and after makiag the state ment that they—Ritchie and Markstein— were good prople, insinuated that if an oppor- tunity for sponding the night in her company 0, charged on the was given the consideration would be a trivia matter. Miss Holland stated that her reply was a slap in tho face, which soemed to arouse Ritch anger, for he said, “You will hit_me, will you?" following his remark by a_ blow from his umbrella on her neck. She then calied for a policeman, and Ofiicer Kllis responded. He informed her that Ritchie and Markstein were very respoctable people, had ~evidently made a mistake and were willing to apologiz She assorted that Ritchie mformed her who he was and said ho was sorry, but she would not accept his apology and insisted on the pair being arrested. The officer then took the entire party to tho police station. Miss Holland, on ecross-examination, snid that neither Ritchic nor Markstein uscd any profane or vulgar language, and_that exeept by inference thero was nothing that could be construed us insuiting. Miss Bertha Holland testified that when Markstein first accosted her she told him he was “pretty.” In other respects her testi- mony was the same as that given by her sis- wer, Oicer K1l re that Ritchio had offered to apologize and that he had tried to induce the young ladies to accept tho apoiogy, but thoy refused and he took them all to LRC sta- tion, The state rested at this point, and the de fendant took the stand. His story was that Markstein accosted the ladies and that Ber- tha had told him he was “pretty.” Markstein then said he koew them aud asked Ritebic to come with him, He followed, and while Markstein was engaged in_conyers tion with Berthahe accosted Leola. When she struck him he threw up his hands to save himself from u socond blow, and did strike at her. As to the proposition tostitied 10 he did not make it. v Ganuon made a | client, but Ritchie's own inte s avery viewed tho “roastings the hands of the otherwise, and while had received at he press both editorially litting the right of the newspupers to criticise his action, as- sorted that wrong information had been given.
