in the case of John Do Yle, charged
with the murder of Willie Miller some
few weeks ago, and who was tried before
Esquire Anderson and placed under a
heavy bond, the Grand Jury found true
bill of murder in the first degree. and
inasnuch as such an ofense is not bail
able, Mr.. Doyle was placed in Jail Sub
sequently he was brought before His
Honor on application for bail by his
counsel. The cause began last Tuesday
night, and will be continued from night
to night until finally disposed of, so far
as the question of bail is concerned,
which, in all probability, judging from
the slow and tedious manner in which
the trial progressed on the night in guess
ton, will not come to pass for several
days yet.
