The two men were strangers, and
while here, were drinking very
freely, the younger of the two, (the

THE sURRATT TRIAL.
BAIL REF;US ED, ~

WASHINGTON, May 13.-In the Criminal
Court, this morning, the application for bail
in the, Surratt case was argued by Mr.: Merrlck
tor the motion, and Mr. Riddle insopposition.
Mi. Merrick argued the release, on bail be-
cause Surratt had been long confined, was sup
pressing in his health, and needed liberty, to
raise funds for his defence. The counsel for
the defence, he said, were not volunteers,
but did not expect pay, for the utmost
efforts Of Surratt's friends could scarcely raise
sufficient. funds to pay the board of his Wit
nesses here during the trial &c.
Chief J ustice Garter refused to grant the re-
quest for bail, on the ground that the prosecu-
ton was ready to proceed at the present term,
but that the case had been continued until the
next term, at the instance, or at least, with
the ready consentof the counsel for theprisoner.
