NEW YORK, NOV. 2srThe Court OF
Oyer and Terminer 10 densely packed this
morning, owing to the interest In Tweedis
case. The counsel Tor the prosecution and
defense are all present. Tweed entered
the room followed by two Deputy Sheritt5,
who have been his clstodians since he
was convicted. John Graham began his
argument ON Q motion In arrest OF judg.
ment, holding that the act OF the Legisla-
ture taking the power OF audit from the
Board ot Supervisors and creating the
Board Of Audit, Of which Tweed was Q
member, was unconstitutional, hence this
client was not liable fol, acts committed
under unconstitutional acts. This, and
ell other points raised by Mr. Graham,
were oyerruled by the court. When: he
concluded his address, which was alter .
recess, Mr.. Tremaine moved the prisoner

Indictment, subject onlylto such lmodifi.
cations as the Judge In his clemency
