pressman and carted her trunk and sowing
machine away. Ho then took the woman tea

induced tlio woman to intrust him with the
care of her watch , diamond ring and purso.

taking her satchel with him , saying that he
was going down stairs to pay his bill and
chock the baggage. Since then ho has not

lor the return of her supposed employer and
finally returned to Omahaleaving a wrapper
aim dress to secure payment tor the night's
lodging.
Wednesday evening she reported
the matter to the police and
Detectives Hudson and Hayes were
put on the case. A good description of
the swindler was given the officers , but they
could not ( Ind him. This morning Detectives
Savage and Dempsey nicked up the case , and
think they have located the trunk and
sowing machine through information glvon
by an expressman.
The contidonc.0 man is still on the other
sldo of the river , but will bo run down. The
loss Is a severe ono to Miss Bartell , as she
has nothing left except the clothes alio has
on.
Detectives Savaga and Dompiey yesterday
succeeded in Jliidinp the drayman who had
hauled the personal effects of Miss Bartlett
across the river. They also gained Information
mation sufficient to bollovo that the individ
ual calling himself Harry Stein will soon bo

GOGGIN HAS A GRIiAT IILAD
Ono of Cook Oountj's Jurists Shows His
Preference Plainly !
HE DECIDES FOR AN OPEN FAIR SUNDAY
Wlion Judgci Dunne ord Ilrrnlnno Hold
that the Htoln Injunction Should Ite IU-
olretl , ( loKCln rtfcuratlTnlj1 Kicked
Them Out of Court.
CUIOAHO , Aug. 31. An crtrnordlnary
scene was wltncssod In the superior court
this morning. In the absence of Judge
Stein , who issued the order forbidding -
ding the closing of the World's fair
gates on Sunday , the management applied to
Judge Goggin to dissolve the order. Ho
called Judges Dunne and Brcntano to sit
with him. They agreed that the order bo
dissolved. Gogglu held that It should bo
continued In force.
At the opening of court this morning ho
directed the clerk to enter an order continu
ing the case sixty days , or till af tor the close
of the fair.
Judge Dunne Insisted on the right to read
the opinion of the majority and did so.
Then , after a wordy wrangle , a
1 private ) conference ot the throe judges was
held 1t 1 , at the close of which , Goggin
announced t that ho no longer desired the
other judges to sit with him. They retired ,
and Goggin overruled the motion to dissolve
and ji j refused to sot a date for hearing a
ji motion i to vacate the order.
Gogijln afterward gave as a reason for his
extraordinary i action that to set aside Judge
Stoln's ! order would cause the pcoplo to lese
confidence i in the judiciary.
Judge Goggin made a long , rambling ad
dress to the audlenco in the court room ,
relative to taking publlo parks for private
uso. His denied that ho was under the in-
lluonco of liquor.
