JUDY STILL IN JEOPARDY.

The trial of John F. Judy has been on in Tippecanoe county for the past two weeks. It seems not all the cases against Judy were nolled, as reported some time ago, and this particnlar case is for the alleged stealing of a horse by Sam Hunter on Judy’s order, and on which the latter held a mortgage. The case has been hotly contested on both sides and it is not thought that it will be completed this week. The defense claims that the action of Hnnter in taming against Judy, his former employer, ia purely spite work and blackmail, as he had made threats of doing him injury unless be (Judy) acceded to bis demands for money. Judy’s attorneys alone coat him SI,OOO, it is said, and the witness fees, loss of time, injnry to business, etc., will cost him several thousand dollars more. The general opinion seems to be that Judy will be acquitted. '
