elusive. 'Gentlemen," said he to the
jury. "my father Is the President Of

Wallace, Temple, Crockettand Sprague
assembled "in Chambers " In Sacra-
mento last Saturday, to hear the appli-
cation Of Daniel-better known as
Zip Mclaughlin, of Sacramento,
for an unconditional release from the
custody Of the Sheriff of Sacramento,
In whose charge he Is held on an In
dictment for murder. He was tried at
the last session Of the District Court,
and the jury failed to agree. His coul-
sci now claims that according TO the
diction Of the Supreme Court In the
case of The People vs.. Webb, Nc
Laughlin's life having been put in
jeopardy by the trial and disagreement
Of the Jury, he Is entitled to 60 scot
free. James w. Coffroth, Of Sacra-
mento, appeared yesterday on behalf
Of the petitioner, and made n long,
elaborate and very able argument to
sustain his novel and startling position.
He quoted decisions In Ireland and
England, and Pennsylvania and other
States, and claimed Tint his client was
legally entitled to n discharge. Joe
Hamilton, Attorney-G General, appeared
for the People, and confined his argu-
lnent In the main to depicting the re-
suits that would follow such a decision.
After hearing four hours argument,
the Justices took tho matter under adj
visement. A subsequent application
for admission to bail, pending tho re-
suit Of the decision, was also taken
under Amusement.
