William H. COON, FASANO's lawyer, was assisted in the case by William E. WEBSTER, who is also attorney for the Italians in their efforts to secure their pay from the Lyons Sugar Refining Company. Mr. WEBSTER said that neither the Italians nor the Lyons company wanted to proceed against FASANO and that he could see no use in holding him. The district attorney said that as FASANO had admitted that he had committed a crime it was his duty to find out what that crime was and secure a conviction if possible. * BUYING OF FERTILIZERS.

It will meet on Wednesday morning and will report to the entire committee at a meeting to be held at the Court House on Thursday afternoon, when it is expected that an order will be placed. * COMING MUSICAL EVENT.
