On the case being called In police court yeeterday, Frvmont Benjamin, attorney for Slgman. took a change of venue to the Court of J urn ire Coopnr, where the hearing was held during the afternoon.

Si groan said at the time, so the witness testified, that ha In tended burning down his barn and offered him (Foreman) $28 to do the Job. Foreman reufsed the offer and straightway told the police of Slgman's offer and his statement regarding his Intention to burn down the barn. Klgroan, so Foreman declared,' ex plained that he intended to place lighted candlea in boxes filled with shavings so that when the candles burned down to the shavings the latter would become Ignited and the start tha building on fire In a num ber of place. , Foreman said he was at 'slgman's 'barn Saturday evening about 7; o'clock and saw Sigman lighting matches In tbe hay loft The witness hung around the place awaiting developments and shortly before S o'clock Hlgman left the barn by the back door and meeting the witness said -"You can hike on home, the fire Is already lit and the place ought to go up pretty soon." imm . Foreman stated . that he . Was a horse trader by profession and that he lived at 121 Hen street. - When Foreman was called to the wit ness stand Attorney Benjamin asked him If he did not carry a revolver. Foreman I declined to answer and Benjamin started to swear out an Information charging the witness with carrying concealed weap ons. At this point Assistant County At torney Ross, after a brief consultation with-the wltneBS said that Foreman was prepared to admit he carried a revolver and the weapon was produced. Foreman stated that on entering the court room he had 'offered V to ..turn '.the weapon over to Officer, RIchardHon but thai latter had told 'him -to kep It. '.The ofHfcer corrobo rated trre statement later. Attorney Ben jamin insisted that the assistant county attorney. Me van, information UKalnM the witness for going armed' but Mr. Ross "de clined, to da bo under :tha circumstances... Captain Schafer of the police force testi fied to Foreman warning the police de partment of Slgman's alleged Intention to burn down the barn and that .in conss quehce the place , had been, watched and Of fiber "Itlcliardnon had' been "around : the bar; uflttl' after 'midnight BatuVday.'

" During tha,; hearing It was shown that recently Sigman dis posed of all his good horses,'. . replacing them with stock, which it was said, were not worth over $U a head. Charles Huber, owner of the building, testified that he had notlfiod Sigman that he wanted the place by February 1. He also testified to finding a two-gallon Jug of coal oil In a small room In the loft. Huber said he took the' jug. to a blacksmith shop adjoining the barn and told Sigman' that 'he did not want his place burned down. ;: ' Hlgman denied setting- fire to the place and swore that he had been at him home from 8 o'clock Saturday evening, and that the first Intimation he had of the fire was when the officers came to his place. His statement aa to being home Satur day evening were corroborated by. mem bers of his family. .Justice Cooper In deciding to hold Sig man to the grand Jury said that. In his opinion the most damaging evidence against the defendant was that he , had disposed of the horses upon which he, had placed Insurance of $100 a head and re placed them with animals which the ac cused himself admitted were not worth more than 15 a head.
