Bruce presented a statement of facts and the court set the case for a hearing on the 30th inst., granting each side four hours for argument. While Bruce was making his statement the Chief Justice asked him If he did not expect the ques- tion of Jjurisdiction to be raised whether he did not expect a motion to dismiss. Bruce replied both were prob- able, but there was such confusion in the State that all were anxious for a decision during the present term of court, and the course undertaken was the only one prac- ticable. He added: the court should sustain the motion to dismiss for lack of jurisdiction that re- sult would, of course, end the contro- versy. If the opinion on such motion should be adverse to dismissal it would robably be too late to hear the case on | fts merits.” | After Bruce concluded this statement the case was assigned. | MARTIN WESTLAKE IS ! | HALED INTO COURT SACRAMENTO, April 16.—Martin West- lake, who is accused of the murder of Watts last month, and his brother Frank, arrested at the same time. were in the Justice’s Court this morning in connec- tion with a charge of felony embezzle- ment.
