CRIMINAL CoURT.-Hon. Henry STUMP Judge
Milton Whitney, Esq, States Attorney, proseeu.
ting. The Court was engaged in the following
business yesterday:
In the case of the State Us. Samuel Mullen and
James Manly, indicted for uttering forged check
in the name of Messrs Bibb Il Co. on the Citizens
Bank of Baltimore
Mr.. Whitney stated to the Court that the princi-
pal States witness, the indictment, one John
Jones, could not be found. The facts were, that an
indictment was found by the last Grand Jury
against this Jones for the above offence and when
MS case was called for trial suggestion was filed
to remove it to the county. By some means un-
known to the States officers, Jones was then sum
moned before the Grand Jury and through state
nents made by him bills were found against Null
len and Manly. Subsequently it appeared that Mr.
Cathcart (foreman) and other members of the
Grand Jury went to Towsontown and made certain
statements to Judge Price, who dismissed the case
but held Jones in Jail to be produced as a witness
IN Baltimore in the of Mullen and Manly Jones
was afterwards committed to Baltimore city iail
on the order of Deputy Sheriff of Baltimore coun-
ty, to be held a witness against Mullen and Man
ly. Some time after this Jones was released on
bail to appear as a witness, but now he cannot be
found: The State has no testimony against Mullen
and Manly; all its evidence against Jones, but
his case had been taken out of the jurisdiction of
this Court The State could have convicted Jones,
Mr.. Whitney said, because he presented the check
at the Bank and got the money. Mr.. Whitney pro-
posed to set the cases nOw and if Jones could not
be found before the end of the term the stet would
be stricken out and the would be tried if not
the State would enter plea of not guilty.
The Court thought it strange proceeding for
the Grand Jury after indicting Jones for the crime
TO call hlm before them and upon his assertions in
dct other partles as to the transactions at TowsOn
town, the Court had nothing to say.
Mr.. McAlster said Mr.. Clarke the President of
the Bank, was cognizant of all these proceedings,
and that what had taken place at Towsontown was
done with Mr.. Clarke's own knowledge.
The cases were stetied.
