It will be rerhembered that the ease of A. C. Soteldo, On the indictment for the murder of A. M.

Judze Wylie’s Decision, As soon as the jury was called, Judge Wylie safd he proposed to decide the motions made in the case of the United States against Jao. W. Dor- ‘Sey and others, .Separate motions to quash had been made by two defendamts—Brady and 8. W. Dorsey—on substantially the game groudd. Judge Wylie then recited the facta set. forth concerning the Irregular finding of the tadicturent, as alleged by the defence. TUR LAW O® 1722. If the statute of Marylamd of 1723 1s the law of this District, the objectioai raised by the defence are fatal.

It was clear that the consftravy was suMicientiy set out, and the purpose to defraud was sumicientiy charged. The only questi@p was as to whether the acts charged were suftfent to make out a case of crime. It was a crane to steal goods and chattel, but an indictmen€souid_ be bad if.it did not set forth the articles stoi@m.

Judge Wylie then continded'his analysis of the indictment. He quoted alithorities, holding that it was enough therefore for the pleader te set forth the offence i such apt ‘Wwortis as to describe it against the statutes. He ‘held that the averments made in the Indictment regarding the false aM- davits, oaths, petitio ‘were substant in the words of 8 rs tat waae fictent.

AS TO THE DAY POR TRIAL OF THE STAR ROUTE OABES, “In these cases, your honor,” said the district attorney, “it was understood tha. a day should be fixed for trial” Mr. Me rising, said that the ment 1s SIS ores So that an early day might be. fixed for trial—cer- tainly not later than the Ist of M Mr. Ingersoll sai of tame as it_be reasonable for the defend- ants to come into court. Stephen W. Dorsey was now in New Mexico, and he (Mr. Ingersoll) had told the district attorney that he would be here @ week from the day that the court decided the indictment was ir. Merrick having remarked that he knew nsthing of any arrangement made by Mr, Corkhill, Mr. Ingersoll said that Mr. Gorkhillwas the re- sponelbie man and he understood from him that y should have reasonable time. “The court can see,” continued Mr. Ingersoll, “that it is matter of much importance to us whether we shall. be compelled to remain in court say after day when other business is going on.
