THE CHICAGO TRIBUNE: TIHTURSDAY, MARCIE 25, 1875. CONTEMPT. Mr. Dexter Makes His Argument for Mr, Storey. Bo Thinks Ils Client Has Dona Noth- ing Criminal, . Jago Willams Will Givo His Decision Monday. Tho Indlotmonts to Oomo Up Tuosday. ‘The consideration of tho Storey contempt caso wan again resumed boforo Judgo Williams in tho Driminal Court yesterday morning. Thoro was, as.ueual, sinco this caso commontod, ® large At tendance of spectators, ‘Tho ovont of tho morn- ing was the dotivory of the concluding speech for the defendant by Mr. Wirt Doxtor. The speech Was on the motion for awrit of attach mont, the auawer fn writing not being saflciont, to bring Wilbur 7. Storey into court. UNDER WHICH KING ? Col. Ricaby, for tha respondent, inquired of the Court whethor it was yot known what Judgo would preside at the session of Court during which (ho several indictments againat Mr, Storey would bo tried. Judgo Williams eald that ho did not know, but understood that Judge Booth would hold tho uext term of tho Criminal Court. Ho was not officially informed of this, but know it was tho undoratauding. Col, Ricaby inquired whothor tho sittings .of Indgo Booth woutd oxtend through tho next threo months. " Judge Willams thought that euch would be tho ente, Col, Ricaby waa understood to romark that ihcro ‘vere several important witnessos out of town, who could possibly not got horo by noxt Tuesday. That waa the day fixed for the trial, and be hoped Mr, Reed would withdraw the notl- ideation. ‘Mr. Reed sald that he did not want to havo tho cases go ovor for threa monthy, ‘Ihe Judges + sould mest Saturday to decide who should hold 4 i x i a the noxt term of Court. Io thought tho or- rangemont mada at that moeting would provo aatistnctory to all concorned. Mr. Goudy did not suppose that any of tha Judges would be particularly dosirous of trying the cages roforrad to. Judge Williame agrood with Mr. Goudy. So far ‘aa ho himsolf was concerned, ho would make no soramblo for tho job. Ho supposed there would bo Jusgo ready to try the case whonever both porties woro ready. ‘Mr, Reed ead that the notice of trial for Taos- day would remain unchanged. A PERSONAL QUEDTION, ‘Tho Ifbol caso was noxt iu order, aud Mr. Wirt Dexter was about to commonco bis oration, but was interrupted by Mr, Goudy, who winked to etate that bo bolloved Mr. Reed bad miurepro- sented Lim unintentionally on tho preceding day, In the firet pince, ho (Mr. Goudy) denied having, intended to cast any aspersion whatoyor on tho etaracter of tho Court. ‘Mr. Reed sald that ha did not Intend to mis- yopresent what the geutleman hed ssid. Perhaps: It would be just ay woll not to revive tho discus- rion, ‘Mr. Doxtor then said that it was his Intention to mako na briof addrows. Perhaps forty minutes would beamplo, «| "Che Court desired Mr. Doxter to undoratand that ho had no dosire to Hmit ing romarky, 3IR, DEXTER, ‘Mr. Daxter thanked His ffonor ins humorous atraiu, aud thon launched into his subject. ‘This ‘was a caso thut required much careful considora- tion. ‘boy should walk very carefully if thoy wished to svold confusion and Gordian onton- Jemont. As regatded the commouts io tho Hanes, bea (Ut. Doxtor) hold that tho writton auger was suiticient, and that no contempt of court was, as ® matter of fact, jutonded. ‘There might be involyod, in- deed, a question of tasto, but the Court was not empowored to punieh Dad tasto. No, A vory difleront teut should bo croployed in tho case bo~ foroit.. Tho gtaud quostion to bo considered was, “Ju Mr. Storey guilty of hindoring the func- tions of this Court of Justico ?” In tho Constitu- tion the right of trea spcoch on all public sub- jects was guaranteed. Mon woro only limited ‘as to shuso of this privilege. Now, the pooplo wore dotermined to preserve both a freo apeech sud a freo prosd. Why shonld on orator bo allowed to exprous bis opinion (n a public meoting, nud Mr. Btoroy, editor of os newspaper, he denied the same right with his 50,060 readers? 1f ono man had aright to expresé au opinion iaone way, why then an- cthor man lind pright to expross tho samo opin- fon through eomoather meditin. Ho held that the more discugnion became freo, the purer bo- camo the courts of justico, THEWE WAS NO CLINE IN FINDING FAULT with the componition ofa Grond Jury, If thoro was a Gon, Sherman hnpancled, 80 alo thero might be upon thot body ‘goutlomon not quite eo illustrious, Grand Juries, like othor public bodics, wore not freo frown ranson- able commont. If tho editor of tho Zimes hon- ently believed that certain men comprised in the Grand Jury woro not fit to hoid tho pouitign, ho had tho right, uoder the Constitution, to express liiy opiuion, "Cho thoory that a Grand Jury was not lablo to ariticlem, which appeared to be held by some gentlomen who had spoken for tho Prosecution, was absurd. Supposing » Grand Jury was packed with bad mon ; would it be con- tempt ef tho Criminal Court for go editor to say so?

Why should not the Grond Jury bo subjacted to the censorship of the press?” Supposo it was mado up of desperadoos, and that Mr. Btoroy know it; should lo then mnzzlo the 7imes for fear of bolug hauled up for contempt of court ? That woutd be absurd. Such @ theory could not etand tho teat of Jogic, Was it not possible for bad mon to got on Grand Juries?
