The Arraignment OF Stokes.

NEW York, January 2O.-Edward S.
Stokes was arraigned TO plead in the
Court Of Oyer and Terminer this
morning, His lawyer, John Graham, said
that lie intended 10 move TO qunsh the in.
diCtment rs the Grand Jury had been
given the case before the C0roner's Jury
had given their verdict, and that the Cor.
oncr had kept back the fact rs 10 whether
deceased was armed or Otherwise, and
that In so doing they exceeded their au
thorlty, contrary To the statutes. lie fur.
ther stated that in their anxiety to obtain
a verdict OF murder the papers were clan.
destinoly transferred TO the Grand Jury.
The Coroner, too, in violation Of lis pre-
ViOilS promise, placed upon the Jury u
lawer named Mansell b.. Field, whose mo.
tives were prcjudiced. Mr.. Graham also
alluded to the part taken by ex,Judge
Fullerton In obtaining the Indictment
against Stokes, saying that Fullerton had
become acquainted with all of Stokes
private affairs as his counsel, and Stokes
having refused TO pay him IN enormous
counsel fee, five thousand dollars, he
sued him, subsequently using his knowl.
edge as former counsel 10 secure m in.
dictment against Stokes. The foregoing
were put before the Court by Graham IN
the shape Of atlidavits.
District Attorney Garvin stated that lie
did not propose oput in contradictory
afFidavits.
Graham then asked to Quash the indict-
ment, on the ground that the sitting Of
two Grand Juries was Unconstitutional,
and that the present verdict should be put
before another Grand Jury after the first
of February.
The District Attorney replied TO Mr..
Graham, and argued that nothing had
been illegally done. lie referred 10 the
savage assault Of Graham upon ex.Judge
Fullerton as sunwarranted and exceptional.
He gave in detail the circumstances of
the shooting of Fisk, and referred to the
case OF Fisk against Mansfield and Stokes
in the YorkyilIe police court.
Graham again retorted savagely on
GarVin and Fullerton, and stated that he
had sure knowledge that the medical
treatment Of Fisk accelerated if it did not
entirely cause his death, as there is man
now Lying in this city who was once
the same as Fisk.
McKeon, one Of Stokes counsel follow
ed, saying Fisk was the centre OF band
Of aSsassins which he (McKeon) feared as
he never feared before in his official
career.
The Court took the papers and adjourn
ed to Thursday.
