The boml was furnished by a negro , Thomas Manley , who was acquaInted with the girl , and who has since married her , It appears that C. C. Cochran , who is defending - fending Manley , lies been very anxious to get hold of the money and substitute a paper bond , alleging that the police authorities have no right to accept a cash bond , lie came into Police court a couple of weeks ago witi an order signed by Manley and lila wife , dIrecting the court to turn the money over to him , Manley , however , appeared before the judge and stopped payment. Last Saturday afternoon Cochran appeared withi another order signed by Manley nod hia wife. Judge Gordon declined to act at once , but yeterdfly morning he drew a check to turn over to Cochrin , when Manley and Attorney - torney Smith entered a demurrer. Manley alleges tbat Cuchran was at hit , house Saturday and agreed to lend him $5 antI thou requested him and his wife to sign a paper. NeIther cotid ! read and they signed their names to the paper without knowing that it wan an order for the money. Cochran presented the order first to P0- lice Court Clerk Schwenk , who refused to recognize it without an order from the police judge. Thereupon he intimated that the police - lice court clerk was taking un more authority - ity titan belonged to him , In retaliation , Schiwenk explained before the court that he had refused to recognize the order because Cochran bad provioucly oromlr'cd to "divy" the bond with him if lie would turn it over and he therefore believed there was rume- thing wrong in the transaction. Attornay Smith , who ) taa taken the side of Manley. stated yesterday morning that Cochran had promised to give him $15 of the bond if he would vlthdraw his opposition. The rcoult of tire matter was that the check hich Jutlge Gordon had caused to be drawn was cancellei anti the money still remains - mains in the hiands of the court and vill stay there until all parties have cam- liromiced. _ _ _ _ _ _ _ Sensoti OIitieiI fluiri , 'fire hotels at Hot Springs , ' .
