In addition to being an intrusion the presence of Judge Heb- vard here interrupts the orderly proceed- 2s of another depariment of the court, cording to Mr. Bhortridge’s idea, he court refused to shut out Judge Hebbard and W.

He read first time on the 31<t of October, . Against Mr. Sho:tridge’s objection he testified that Judge Hebbar: ‘was at that time a Judge of the Superior Court and_thet Mr. Marriott was proprietor of the News Letter. On cross-examination Mr. Shortridge drew out the fuct that Mr. Dreypoicher was an ardent supporter of Judge Heb- bard during the recent political campaign, He handled considerable. money for the Judge—abont $250—and placed a lot of ad- vertising for him. He admitted tnat he ning he could to advance Judge Hebbard’s election. ‘And so did several thousand other tizens,”” interjeciea Mr, Hinkle. To this Mr. Shortridge objected, sayirg that he waoted to know wuether there was a desire of counsel on the other side 10 try to send the defendant to jall Ly the beating of tom-tom. If Judge Hebbard was chosen by so great a vote as the gen- tleman suggested, would not that go to snow that the articie was not considered in any lizht other than tbat of ordinary campaign literature? Returning to the main question Mr. S ortridge wanted to know if Mr. Dry- poleber had not been busying bimse:t about the present trial, atiending all the <eesions of court, aiding Judge Hebbard v his advice, and actively advancing his interes; Yes, I have done my best for Jud-e Hebbard,” said Mr. Dreypolcher. “He is my friend, and I have stood by him.

At the conclusion of Mr. testimony Judge Hebbard band impatiently and despondently, and Mr. Kahn, taking the cue at once, an- nounced that no other witness would be offered on behalf of tue prosecution. Everybody seemed surprised that so weak a case should be presented toa jury. It seemed a poor showing to make after so much preparation. Judge Daingerfield grantsd a continu- ence until 10 o’clock this morning, when the case lor the de‘endant w offered. THE LATEST COMBINE. Several Police Court Attorneys Form a Protective Association to Secure All the Business. Several Police Court attorneys have formed a combination to secure all the business, and those left out in the cold are raising their voices in angry protest. Business has been slack for some months and the struggle to earn a few dollars among the attorneys has been bard. 1he piums fell to a few favored ones, and it was to put an_end to this favoritism that the combination bas been formed; ana it is working well. As early as 6 o'clock in the morning one of the combination takes his stand at the door of the City Prison, ready to gain ad- mitiance and exsmine the register for likely cases. He remams on duty for two hours, when be is relieved by another member of the combine, and t goes on every day. ; The fees obtained by the combine are pooled and apportioned pro rata.

Armed with the legal documents that declare the nnion binding, Mrs. Phillips will soon depart for Africa, where she will seek to force her husband to support her 4nd his children in & manner becoming bis rank and station. Since he is worth several millions and, 8o his wife says, had been thinking of marrying another| woman, the step will cause him consider:- ' able inconvenience and notorety. Phillips was a poor man when he mar- ried ac West Jordan, Utah, in Septem ber, 1875, #nd his fortune was smail when he deserted bis wife and three children in October, 1892. But since that time he has becon.e a veritable Monte Cristo in the gold fields of Soutn Africa, where, begin- ning as a mining engzineer, he worked his way up to the presidency of severai large companics, one of which has headquarters at Cnicago.

In looking into.the gase Mr. Mogan dis- covered that the decrée was never legily entered, and Judge Seawell sot it aside The defendant’s attorners last week failed in a motion to set aside the find- ings, and Mrs. Phillipsis now recognized as duly married to the successful African miner. Asa result Mrs. Philiips will go to Africa in a few weeks and begin an action for maintenance under the British laws. THE COGGINS ACCUSED. Carrie C. Sankey Charges That They Have windled Her of Her Property. Miss Carrie C. Sankey has preferred serions accusations aeainst her former guardian, Cnarles S. Coggins, and his wife, Mary E. Coggins. She charges them witn conspiracy and fraud, and alleges that they have by deceit, fraud, trick and ariifice possessed ihemselves of the entire fortune that sie inherited from her foster- lather, the laie Samuel Sankey. In relating her woes, Miss Sankey, through bher attorneys, McGowan & Sauires, has filed a voluminous complaint which presents a full history of the no:ed | probate controversy which finaily gave | ner possession of the Sankey estate. This case occapied the attention of the Su- | preme Courts of California, Pennsylvania and Illinois simuitaneously for several years, and the cosis of iitigation cut deeply into the resources of the estate, When all was settled, however, the young woman found herself mistress of ‘an es- tate said to be worth $100,000. To-day she is penniless, and she charges that Mr. and Mrs. Coggins have swindled her out of her property. She sars she was ignoraut of law, was sick and feeble- minded; that they took advantage of her condition and got possession of all her property, since which time they have turned her out of doors, friendless and in poverly. She asks the court to compel Mr. and Mrs. Coggins to disgorge their ill-gotten gains and that all her property be restored to ber. MANH:TTAHS ARE MAD. They Say They Huve Been Fa Accused of Fraud. T.

As the bride stepped into the carriage, each little chorus-boy seized his boutonniere, and, flinging it at the newly wedded wife, literally showered her with flowers. GET SHAVED EARLY.
