The Judge said that the OF the Court show that
the Grand Jury have found indictment against Parker
H. French, in which it is charged that he had boen

the Court know that any warrant has been issued The
proposition Of the counsel is that the indictment be at

tajned ii there is any foundation for the charge Many

been engaged in setting on foot cxpcdiion and 10
whether there any foundation for these accusations.

Aany private individual The question presents ITSELF
what power has this Court to order speedy rialY Ii
has no right to order the District Attorney TO wy any
