Young Honan Bound Over To Grand Jury Under Bond.

The hearing of the case against Edward M. Honan lasted from 10 o’clock Saturday morning until about 4 o’clock that afternoon, Frances Klinger, three doctors, E. P, Honan and the defendant, all testified. The court room was crowded, all seats being filled and all available standing room taken, while extended out into the corridors. Justice Irwin bound the yotiqg man over to the grand jury; placing his bond at $2,000, which his father signed. As soon as the decision of the court to bind Honan over was announced E. P. Honan filed an affidavit against the girl, charging her with forgery, the affidavit being based upon a check which had been shown to the girl in the court room and which she admitted she had signed and made purchases on. The check was in the sum of $3.50. The defendant’s attorneys held that the girl had preferred the charge against Young Honan in order to cover up the forgery charge. The grand jury will take the ease up at the February fceraff and it will be tried at this time.
