JUDGE BAKER DELIVERS ANOTHER REBUKE Court nroluri'H Unit I Inl ron r 'utor Mionltl Ho More nillucnt In ( lie I'ritiinriidoii of 111 * Criminal ( 'linen. If a few more loopholes are left open by the county attorney , ( JcorgoV. . Archibald , charged with stealing $3,000 $ from the Pacific Express company , will In all probability bnvo his liberty without waiting for the formality of Jury acquittal. Prom the very beginning of the trial throe daya ago the county attorney has encoun tered trouble. First It was dlacpvered Just In tbo nick of Unto that the defendant had never been arraigned , and therefore had not had opportunity to plead , Judge Ilaker al lowed that oversight to bo rectified nnd nt tha opening of court yesterday Archibald was arri'lgntd and a plea of not guilty wag entered , Hut another surprise was In store. The prosecutor discovered that bo had failed to list the names of two of hi * most Important witnesses. This Is a formality that should , according to court rules , be attended to be- lor * a case goes on trial. A motion was filed asking that the additional witnesses be nl- lowed nnd Judge Uaker granted the request. Ho took occasion , however , to remind the county attorney that ho should exercise dill- gcnco In the preparation of his cases and that he should not come Into court unpre pared to go ahead with trial. Judge Dakur spoke In language so plain as to admit of no ambiguous Interpretation. Following this Irregularity , fresh trouble was encountered when the defense attacked j the information agaln.st Archibald nnd filed I n motion to make the prosecution elect which of tbo counts In the Indictment the case late to be based upon. Lengthy argument fol lowed this motion. Only ono $3,000 package was stolen , but the Information charges Archibald with stealing It from the Pacific j | Hxprcss company , from the Klrst National bank and from n bank at St. Paul , Neb. The attorneys for the defense argued that the state mu t settle upon the ownership of the money and so charge In specific manner. The stolen money was being shipped by Pacific express from the- First National bank of this city to the bank at St. Paul. The Omaha bank delivered It to the express com pany and It was stolen while In transit to the railway station and never reached the St. Paul bank > Archibald appeared serenely contented na ho sat In the court room , Ho evidently relishes the trnpk Into which the county attorney falls. The regular attorney for the cxprcta company has entered the case and la making an energetic effort to over come the errore made by the county attor ney. ney.At At the conclusion of the argument Judge Oaker said he would withhold his decision on the point nt if one until he has heard Bomo of the evidence. Testimony was de layed owing to the demand of the defense for the exercise of Its right to chal lenge tbo Jury. This was not attended to at the outset for the reason that the attorneys for the defense hurrkd matters through In the hope of securing the release of thnlr client on account of the failure of the county attorney to have him arraigned for pleading. Many of the juroru were excused and now OIHH substituted. MIIS. MACK WA.VI'S DA.MAOIJ .MOXIiV. SluIN IMnliitirr III n SullirnliiMt Cnr- IIOlllIN ItfyillllllN , Allt'KllIUNNIIIllt. . The damage suit of Mrs , Sadlo Mack against Cornelius Reynolds , a member of the flro department , U on trial In Judge Keysor'n court. The basis of the suit Is an affiaul' alleged to have occurred June 30 , 183S. Thn damage Is estimated at $5,000. The plaintiff sets forth that the defendant made a violent attack upon her and bruised her In a painful manner. She alleges that a big doctor bill resulted and that she suffered much injury , both mentally and physically. The attitude of the defendant Is that ho acted In Keif-defense ; that Siro. Mack wa * making an assault upon Mrs , Reynolds and her Infant child , and that but for his timely Interference they would have sustained scrl- ou injury. Mrs , Mack Is of middle age. An Incident somewhat out of the usual oc curred when the attorneys were questioning the Jury. Dr. Crawford , one of the jurors , won asked If the fact that the- plaintiff Is a woman would prejudice him in rendering a verdict. " 1 shall try and render a verdict In ae- cordanco with the evidence and the Instruc tions of the court , " the Juror replied , "but on the paint involved I am a little afraid to trust myself , for I believe I would Incline toward the cause of the woman. " Subsequently ho modified this gallant tttatomcnt to such an extent that he was ac cepted. The Mncka and ( ho Reynolds were nelgh- boiB and the troubla originated with the feminine part of the two families , it Is ald. U started as a "clothesline fight , " but has now reached the district court. Dnilil Chllilrcn llnlii'iiM The celebrated DoilJ habeas corpus case , wherein llcnjamln F.
