: The only hopes Dr. Brooks and the ■ Anti-Saloon had Wednesday afternoon of their entire methods of recent date from being a complete farce was that they might stlll secure a conviction in the cases against Mr. Gwinner, which was adjourned on account of his lawyer, Mr. Lawrence, being out of town, .md against Mr. Staebler, in which a contin:iance was taken, as Dr. Brooks stated to Acting Prosecuting Attorney Babbitt that he had other witnesses besides the Toledo detective who was paid $45 by the Anti-Saloon League for work which had availed nothing so far. While Attorney Brown, who was j Ployed by Messrs. Reimold, Golz and Spaeth, was making an argument to have his clients discharged on the ground that the supreme court rather roasted the class of testimony vhich was obtained by detectives persuading or entrapping persons into the commission of a crime, he read a decisión from the court which said that tl: ese U G Í&O. 1. 1' VPS Tï7ÉT"O Q o m,,.-il, „..in , , .. - _ „„ Aittv.i guiiiy as trie man who was induced to commit the crime and' could be arrested as principáis in the crime. "And .before this man leaves town," said Mr. Brown, shaking his finger át the Toledo detective, "I expect to have a warrant out for his arrest under this decisión and wiü prosecute the case." Cuthbert, the detective, evidéntly took the hint and as soon as he could conveniently, made. his sneak out of the city. The warrant was takon out and placed in the sheriffs hands for service. The trains were watched by his deputies but Cuthbert escaped somehow. It was surmised that Cuthbert had gone on foot to Pittsfleld, hoping to catch the 9 o'clock train for Toledo at that point. A telegram was sent gíving a description of Cuthbert and asking if there was such a man around the depot. T5ie reply carne baok that there was and Deputy Canfleld drove down there and nabbed him last night. Cuthbert said that the reason he left Ann Arbor sa hastily was that threats of personal violence had been used against him but it is possible that Attorney Brown's "tip" may have had something to do with his departure from the city. The Toledo detective was brought back to the city utie last night and the question of bail arose. Deputy .Canfleld drove to Prof. Spalding's house and this rrentl"man was willing to go on the" bonds but Justice Duffy, who was out to a party could not be found at hls home fn UanhtT8 bliSed t0 rem" Yesterday Cuthbert was brought up before Justice Uuffy charged witk peing a principal in the crime of ellïng liquor on Sunday and he de.-nanded an exammation which was set for June iá.
