tinued indefinitely.

A motion by Julien Michel, as onic"s
curir, to uuasl the indictment OF corrupt

Mr. Michel contends that the Grand
Jury who found true bill against Richard
and James Spencer, who gave the informa-
ton, were declared by the court an illegal
Grand Jury, and Spencer an illegal juror
therefore no juror at all-and that no such
crime as the above could have been com
mtted in this case, and no such indictment
be made.
Judge Abel ordered, after a part of the
argument was heard, that the motion be
continued indefinitely, and the prisoner,
Charles Richards, be admitted to $3.50
bonds. with Julien Michel as security.
