XII, No. 48 WHOLE NO. 357 - Complaint was made before Justice CONOVER against G. R. FOWLER for selling whiskey. - The examination of MIKE CARMODY and MIKE CORBET for maiming JAMES HUME took place before Justice CONOVER on Wednesday, and resulted in the discharge of CARMODY and binding CORBET over to the Circuit Court. JENNIE ABBOTT and whiskey was the cause of the fracas. - The COMKY murder trial was brought to a close last Saturday evening. The examination lasted eight days, and over twenty witnesses were examined. It was ably conducted by Mr. NELSON on the part of the people, and Messrs. BULLIS & CUTCHEON for PERKINS and McKEY, and Messrs. DOVEL & MORRIS for LOWED and McCARTY. The examination was thorough and exhaustive. The court room was well filled most of the time. On summing up the case the justices concluded that there was not evidence enough to hold Perkins and McKEY, and they were discharged. Justice CONOVER talked to the boys about the effects of bad company and urged them to take this lesson to heart, and remember how near they had come to being imprisoned in a felon's cell. While the Justice was talking, the strongest and bravest men present wept, and there was scarcely a dry eye in the room. The meeting between father and son was very affecting, and the trial that CHARLIE passed through will undoubtedly be a lesson to him while he lives. LOWD and McCARTY were committed for trial. - POLICE COURT: We forgot last week to say that DANIEL GROSS of the Milwaukee House was fined $29.50 for keeping his saloon open on Sunday, and selling whiskey contrary to the city ordinance...The saloon keepers are like "Davy Crocket's Coon," they "come down."
