The entrance to Frank Watson, the man accused of swindling. Emory Buren out of $500, failed to show up in the municipal court this morning to answer to a charge of vagrancy. Judge Bennett threatened to issue a bench warrant but ordered Attorney John Manning to nave tne man in court Monday. Watson is out on bail of $500. At torney Manning personally obligated himself to have the man In court when the case was called, and appeared very unconcerned this morning, when he did not show up. I let this fellow go yesterday 'on nig own recognizance," said Judge Ben nett, "and he was supposed . to be here and ready for trial this morning. That was the understanding, and if he Is not here soon, I shall issue a bench war rant and have him brought In. No man can break faith with me in tnls way.''
