SALT LAKE Cry, Jan. 3l.-In the United
States court this afternoon, Deputy At.
toruey High, pursuant TO instructions from
Attorney General Williams, telegrAphed by
Attorney Bates, moved that all the prison
ers in the custody Of the United States in
Utah be admitted to bail. Chief Justice
Mexican delivered a decision which re-
csives universal and hearty commendation
from the Gentiles and liberals. He alluded
to the fact that Of eleven prisoners charged
with murder, six we're held in custody in
the city without expense to the government,
aud five we're at Camp Douglas. Some of
the murders were committed under circum-
stances Of great mystery and strocitY, and
some openly aud in the face Of mankind.
These" said the Judge, "sre to be turned
loose before the trial, an act without prece
dent. Besides, there are reasons which
cannot be made public why these prisoners
should not be admitted to bail, reasons
which District Attorney Bates cannot have
communicated to Attorney Williams. The
| District Attorney seams quitB indifferent,
and he is known by the court to have made
in another particular serious misstatements
in regard to affsirs in Utah proceedings.
am placed here to decide and bring the law
TO bear on all judicial questions which may
rise. IF | now shrink or swerve from a
plain duty, it is not improbable that the
| irresponsible magistrate called Judge
Lynch would assume the seat, which
would have proved myself unworthy to
bold, rsfuss to admit the prisoner to
bail as bail is asked on grounds ostensibly
