information he could give that Influenced him to
deny me, but because his relations toward his
client would not permit him 80 to do.

MEETING THIS MORNING -ooNTINUANcE ASKED IN
MIR. OWENS CASE.
Court opened at 1919 A. M Justices Strong
and Bradford on the bench. u s. District Attor-
ney Higgins entered nole prosequi in several
informal cases, after which the case Of U. States
uS. Archibald Given was called.
Mr.. Bayard, for the defence moved a contin-
uance until next term of Circuit Court on the
ground that he had not been able by want of
physical ability, to consider the case with the
gravity demanded. He also thought that as it
had not been customary to try cases in the lme
term of Court in which found, that there would
be no impropriety in 30 continuing.
Dist. Att Higgins, on the part of the govern
ment, protested against further delay, alleging
sufficient time for prepar alton on the part of the
defence; and although admitting Mr.. Bayard 3
great disability, yet claimed that when there
were associate counsel the Court should grant a
speedy trial.
Motion laid over by order of the Court, for
consideration during recess.
After disposing OF other untmportant business
the Court proceeded to that of naturalization,
after which it adjourned until P. M.

THE MOTION FOR CONTINUANCE DENIED AND A
COMMENCEMENT OF THE CASES ORDERED FOR TO-

The Court re-assembled at o'clock.
The motion to continue the case of Archie
Given was overruled.
Judge Strong delivered the opinion of the
Court that as no possible detriment could result
to the defendant from a speedy trial, and as
there were other counsel for the defendants, not
laboring, as does Mr.. Bayard, under a
physical disability, he would therefore feel con-
strained to order these cases up for trial to-
morrow morning.

that he never contemplated flight. The impress

The Wharton Trial.

The trial of Mrs. Wharton promises
to be an important case in the annals of
American criminal jurisprudence. So
long as we had only the evidence sub
mitted by the prosecution the trial was
humdrum enough, but now that the
defense has brought experts to discredit
the scientific testimony already taken.
new interest has been aroused, and
the reports Of the proceedings are
eagerly read all over the country. The
case is by no means an ordinary one. A
DISTINGUISHED general officer Of the
army died under suspicious circumstan-
ces, and the lady in whose house his
death occurred has been arrested on
the charge of poisoning him. The
prosecution made out pretty strong
case, taken by itself, against her, and
this, with her high social standing, has
given from the first an unusual degree
of interest to the trial Now that the
doctors are hopelessly disagreeing as to
the diagnosis of the attending physician,
as to the probable cause of death, and
as to the correctness of the chemical
analyses on which the prosecution has
depended to make out case of poison
lhSi anu, dDONc all HOW IndI UD6 uOC
tors and lawyers have lost their tenn oers
and begun INDUCING in caustic repair
tees, the case has become one every
where talked about. One thing seems
pretty clear, and that is, that Mrs.
Wharton will be acquitted. The experts
whose testimony has been taken sue
ceeded at least in making it a matter Of
serious doubt whether General Ketchum
was poisoned at all or not, and with
this doubt existing in the minds Of the
jurymen, there is very little reason tc
suppose that they will declare Mrs
Wharton poisoner. The case is pre-
cisely one Of those of which no one will
ever know the entire truth, and the
only real service the trial can possibly
do to the country that is SO deeply
interested in its details, will be in teach
ing the courts caution in accepting the
evidence of experts where positive
testimony is wanting.
