eeived he was warranted in announcing that Niles
and Roberts would not be sentenced until Monday
next. great deal OF disappointment was manifested
by the audience, who retired, after making all sorts
OF inquiries rs TO the reason OF this postponement
No reason was assigned for the delay.

not been completed in time for the proper examination
OF it. to be made by the Recorder, until late hour
this morning Recorder Talmadge refused to grant q
stay OF proceedings and announced that unless such
stay were produced by Monday morning, the court

corder refused should be granted by OF them The
