If they were ready to try the greater offence, hew can they decline to try the lesser one! Judge Wylie remarked that the general rule ‘was to allow the prosecuting attorney to choose which indictment to take up first. When the Court set this day as the day for trial, the first sudictment was pending. and therefore there was no choice allowed the District Attorney. ‘That indictment must be gotten out of the way, or you must try it. he District Attorney remarked that the prosecution Was uot ready to try the first in- dictment; there were important witnesses not present. The Court remarked that if the prisoner could not be tried now for murder. it would be unjust to continue bim im jail. The proseca- tion could not complain. He (Judge W ) could mot close his eyes to the tact tuat the accused had ove trial, by one of the best juries ever wmpannelled.’ It did not seem to him that tas ‘WAS a case where be could deny to the prisoner the right of giving bail Mr. Merrick remarked that under ine ciream- stamces, the prisener having goue ‘o the trouble to have summoued between eighty aud one Bundred witnesses, the court should wy the case.

He did not believe the prosecu- tuon bad the right to comtinue a case as long as steuited the prosecuting attorney; and if the prosecution was no! ready they should comply ‘with the law. and show cause fora conunu- amece. ‘Mr. Carrington imguired if it was under the aetof the assembly be should proceed, and submitted that he was speakmg undér his official oath. The Coart.—Theu you can answer under your oaib. Mr. Merrick asked that the prosecution should « cause fof 2 continuance in wrung. Mr. Carrington said (hat the submit the following pai be Attoraey of the United States for sue District of Columbia respectfully represents to the Court that De ts uot prepared to proceed to the trial of the above wutitled case for the reason that there are now absent three competent, proper. and material witnesses, for whom diligent search has been made; that be bas reason to believe that two of said witnesses are eecreiing themselves, and Avoiding service of the processes of this Court, and that one or more persous are now in par- suit of them: that one of said witnesses is tray- + lang on the plains for Ris health, and has been wlgraphed for but he bas not yet responded; and that be has reason to suppose that the said witnesses can be found and brought befure the Court at its next term: that in his opinion, aud im tbe opinion of the associate counsel em- ployed by the United States to assist him, it would be unsafe to proceed to trial without the attendance cf said Witnesses. ‘Mr. Merrick said that the detence considered she paper cid not come up to the requiremeats, ‘The expressions as to where the witnesses are, are somewhat dainty, and what can be ed is mot stated.

Whee be wlegraphed for one of the ‘witnesses he received information that he was | secreting himself. He would submit that he sbould not be required to go further. Against the advice of bis associates so anxious was he to gve the prisoner a speedy trial that he pro- cured the second indictment. He would promise that he would not enter a nelle pros to the first indictment, and he would not dis- close bis course other than to say he was ready to try the second case, and when that was fin med he would do what he thought right.
