SurYatt ITia2.


In the Criminal Court, this morning, Judge
Wylie sustained the demurrer to Surratt' plea,
and held that Surratt Was excepted from the
Amnesty Proclamation.
The case was begun at 10 O'Clock, Mr. Mer
rick continuing and enforcing the views he pre-
sented on Tuesday.
Mr.. J. II, Riddle followed, contending that
the demurrer to the plea was rightly taken
The plea claimed that Surratt was relieved
from the Indictment by the Amnesty Of the 4th
of July. The demurrer joined issue and de-
nj this, aver rg that as Surratt was under
Indictment at the time the Proclamation OF
Amnesty was made, such amnesty could not
shield him.
Judge Wylie held that the proclamation Of
the President pardoned only treason or adher-
ring to the enemies of the UGited States, but
that Surratt was indicted for neither o!
these offences but for engaging in the
rebellion" q crime Of less grade, and not cover
ed by the amnesty for these reasons, he sus,
tanned the demurrer.
Mr. Merrick obtained time to put his pleas
in proper form tor an appeal.
1t is supposed by some that the demurrer
being sustained no new plea can be filed, and
that Surratt will be sentenced to morrow
The better opinion seems to be that Judge
Wylie will allow plea OF not guilty to be en-
tered, and that jury will be called and a trial
on the merits begun tomorrow.
