The trial of the case was proceeded with, before a jury. Aff.r ih. Landlord. The gtand jury itself is engaged in a little detective work and taking Judga Zane on his word Is tracking crime of I all sorts to its innermost haunts. Having Hav-ing disposed of most of the cases to which its attention was called by the lower courts it has now entered the field of vice as it exists among ths haunts of the demi-monde and roue. It is not ditlieult to retch the demi-monde themselves them-selves but it is the wary landlord who, in consideration of bribes of the most entertaining naturn. has by contract Hit up those theatoriums of evil and opposed every movement that looked to the removal of their inmates to the, outskirts of the city. These are the persons at which the law is directed and it is the determination of the grand jury to tear the na-k from the face of every hypocrite hypo-crite who has preached one thing on the corner and another before hi money chest. "I had no idea." said a deputy thi morning, while rounding up witnesses for the grand jury, "that so many prominent landlords were drawing big money from these avenues, and I want to tell you that if this source of revenue reve-nue is cut off. there'll he a howl, a terrible ter-rible howl. Why, it is a notorious fact that one landlady is paying liiOO a month for a mere shell of a thing, and that, too. is running right under th nose of the goddess. I look for a terrible ter-rible agitation at the next report of the. grand jury, and when the landlord had made his peace there von may look for some supplemental indictments from the churches." The personnel of those who haTe got in the meshes will probably be mad known the last of the present week. B.for. Jadg. Z.n.
