Show LOADER LOCKED UP. The Alleged Anion. In (; U hind the Bar Again. T'ae mysterious witn"ss who was wanted in the Loader exann lion, and of whom it was said material testimony would be obtained, did not materialize in Judge Xorrell's court chamber until it was too late for the purposes of the examination. Tho prosecution then rested, aud a motion was made by Mr. Driggs lo continue tho hearing until Monday. This was overruled, whereupon where-upon the court slated that in all cases of this type the government appeared in two positions as respects the facts. First, tho arrest and detection of criminals; crim-inals; secondly, the cutting down of revenue as much as consistency with the ends of justice would permit. Tho testimony was then reviewed, Mr. Murphy representing tho people, and Mr. Driggs the defense, after which the case was submitted, iritptiiotreli reviewed the evidence at some lenglh, and concluded that the fact of the defendant's de-fendant's being arrested on the north side of the block when the crime was committed, and the further fact that no one could have gotten into tho locality where he was apprehended without having come from inside this block, was sufficient evidence to warrant the holding hold-ing of defendant to bail. The prosecution thought the evidence justified the prisoner's commitment without bail, but the court demurred, and fixed tho bonds iu the sum of ;moo. This the prisoner was unable to cover either by cash or sureties, and he was accordingly removed lo tho lockup lo languish uutil the grand jury passes on the case. |
