From the State Gazette of the 18th.
Case of the Warren Murders.

SSSC VA tCEA eAA NSsS
Mr. Halsiead moved again this morning, that
the prisoners be brought 10 the bar for sentence.
Mr. Vroom, on behalf Of JOS. Garter, moved
that the sentence be respiltd ill next term. He
made strong appeal 10 The court on the ground
of the circumsranilal and inconc,usive charac-
Ter of the evidence, and the doubts of some as
to The prisoners gull, but mainly on lhe ground
that person charged with participating in the
same was TO be tried in June nexr, and that ev-
idence might hen be eliciled, throwing light on
'his mysterious murder aud tending TO prove
The prisoners innocence.
Mr. Wurls on behalf of Joseph Garter and
Peter w. PaIbe, follow ed in support Of the
same views.
Mr. Halslead for the state, replied fro ha,
Abner Parke had already been nnce tiled and
acquitted. aud hat the evidence against him was
already known; and secondly that on his trial
no evidence could be admitted 10 show the guilt
or innocence Of The prisoners, unless he could
be connected with them in The design or com-
mission OF the murder; and that on former til
al Of Abner Parke the state had endeavoTed TO
introduce evidence 10 prove such connection,
but it had been objected 10 by his counsel and
over-ruled by The state. If, therefore, the evi-
dence of the prisoners guilt or innocence had
been properly excluded on Abner Parke's first
trial, i, could not be admitted, on his second
trial. 1t was falacious idea therefore that on
the Trial Of Abner Pake any evidence of The
prisoners innocence could be developed.
Mr.. Dayton replied for the prisoners.
The Coart took time 10 deliberate; and will
perhaps give their on the motion 10 respite this
afternoon. Should this motion be oyer-ruled,
II is not supposed that any thing further will be
done to delay the final sentence Of The court.
