Show First District Court. Prosecuting Attorney Judd is deter- minprl t.fi hrincr tha Alma FTanim n to trial at an early day and firmly re-, sists all motions by Hague's counsel made with a view to delay. Copies of the fourteen indictments found against Mr. Hague were served upon Judge Henderson, counsel for defense, this morning, and an order was made as reported re-ported yesterday compelling Mr. Hague to appear in court to plead on Saturday morning next at 10 o'clock. This order was made under protest of Judge Henderson who pleaded for a continuance of time to plead on the ground that his partner, Arthur Brown, who it is desired shall conduct the cases in all stages uersonally, is now in Washington. An effort will be made to have the first case tried in March as at the present rate in which the basiness of the court is being disposed dis-posed ot the calendar will be clear and the term of court will adjourn on or about April 1st. However, the defense de-fense insists that they cannot get ready to try the first case so soon. A late session of court was held last evening in order to get the evidence m the Tuttle vs. Marks suit. Judge Anderson is prosecuting this suit and Sam A. King and E. A, Wilson are defending. The case was still on this morning. The case of J. W. Tuttle vs. Anna Marks took up the entire time in the First District court today. James Marsh, convicted of burglary, was sentenced to eighteen months imprisonment im-prisonment in the penitentiary. Frank Chopping of Charleston, Wasatch Wa-satch county, was arraigned on a charge of fornication committed with Clara H. Bowker, in February, 1894. He entered a plea of guilty. Sentence will be imposed next Mondav morning. Chopping is unmarried and the woman is married, although she has lived apart from her husband for many vears, and Prosecuting attorney Judd understood that an indictment fos adultery had been found, but it was discovered that the foreman had stricken out the word adultery in the printed form of the indictment in-dictment and inserted the word fornication forni-cation which made it that much easier lor defendant. This defendant came near getting himself him-self into a worse boat than, he now nnas nimsen, a3 wten arrested he was about to marry the girl and thus innocently inno-cently commit the crime of bigamy. If a divorce were had it is understood that the couple would now marry. Two new cases were filed with the clerk yesterday as follows : Provo Commercial & Savings bank v. J. L. Kobison.
