Justice Lambert will de- dide that point to-morrow morning. This move of Mr. Osborne aroused the vigorous protests of ex-Gov. Black. Then was a search for precedents and a running argument in the presence of the jury, during which Mr. Osborne said the conspiracy was formed to keep away Mamie Melando, Detective Far- rell and Robert A. Zeller, of Newark. He argued that if he could show that these witnesses were being kept away he had the right to read the testimony they gave at the former trial.
