LIMITED STATES CIRCUIT COURT.

Tha yvhfskey Ring-Legality OF the
limited states Grand Jury-Dcnial OF the
Motion to Quash.
Judges woodruff and Batchford held Court at
one O'Clock yesterday, when they announced that
both concurred in the opinion that the motions to
quash the indictments against the "whskey ring"
must be denied. The following in substance are
the reasons
We are OF the opinion that the provisions Of the
Revised Statutes or the State of New York q Rev.
Stat. 72l, secs. 27-2s, prescribing the objections
Jures are, by the Act OF Congress of1s46 Is U. S.
Stat. at Large, 1874, made applicable to the federal
Courts, and, therefore, that no challenge to
the array OF jurors to any person
summoned to serve as Grand Juror
shall be allowed In any other cases than such as are
specified in the twenty section OF the State
statute. There Is no allegation or claim in the pres
ent cases that the objections which may be made to
or can be urged against the grand Jurors by whom
these indictments are found; no urging from preu-
dice has been shown or attempted TO be shown. For
the reasons stated the motions to quash the in
dictmentS are denied.
