LAWYER FAILS TO APPEAR IN COURT; HEARING CONTINUED.
    When their lawyers failed to appear in police court this morning, Jimmy Osborn and Will "Country" Davis, both colored lads, asked that their case be continued until Tuesday.
    Osborn and Davis are charged with stealing $230 from Walter Clay, colored, at the Nahant boat yard election day. The money was said to have been taken from a shack at the boat yard when it was left there by Clay. Osborn, in a written statement, has confessed to police.
