CORONER CROKER'S TRIAL POST
PONED.

In the expectation that the trial OF Coroner
Croker would commence yesterday In the Court
OF Oyer ana Terminer, before Judge Barrett, there
was large crowd In attendance. The defendant
was not present, though mis- counsel put IN
prompt appearance; but the absence OF the prs-
oner showed conclusivey, despite the protesta-
tions OF his counsel to contrary, that tne pro-
gramme OF delaying the trial had been previously
arranged Its Adjournment WAS of course dis.
appointment to he crowd.
Directly alter Judge Barrett took his seat on the
Dencn MT. Phelps, District Attorney, stated that
II was understood that ne would move the case OF
coroner croker Tor trial to-day. He fully intended
20 90 80, but, In view OF the public calamity
which had startled the city, he thought IL neces-
sary that the Court should take some action. AS
tne uneral taxes place on Friday. 1t would not be
proper that the Court should then be in session.
Apart rom that an Important writ OF. habeas
CORPUS was TO DC argued tomorrow and would ne
cessarfly break in on the irlai of this cause. He
Thought It would be hardship to the prisoner and
tho jurors that the case should be broken in on
and under the circumstances 1t was better to
postnoue the case until they could commence and
The New York herald., 1874-12-02

go right through with &c. Ha, therefore, moved
that the case go over until Monday, on which
morning he intended 10 move the trial.
MI. Croker's counsel opposed tue motion. He
was ready, as he was on Monday. to join In a
tribute ol respect to the Mayor, but IL was unwlse
aud wouIc be unjust TO the prisoner TO postpone
the trial. They might have interruptions, but
they were likely to break in at any time. He
thought II was the bounden duty OF the prOsecu-
tlon to give speedy trial, and he asked the Court
to enforce Its order and hold the District Attor-
ney TO his undertaking to proceed. The Court
could easily adjourn Tor half day 10 pay It's
tribute OF respect to the memory OF the Chief
Magistrate.
Judge Barrett said the District Attorney had
given what appeared TO him very proper reasons
for postpOning the trla. Tue Court had not
ordered the case for trial Deremptorily, but had
set it down for to-day and the District Attorney
had consented 10 try 1t.
Mr. Clinton then asked that the case be set
down peremptorlly for some day and the order en-
tered on the minutes.
Mr. Phelps remarked that never was more
pr0Mptitude shown IN capital case tnan In this,
and 1t was his intenuon to move the case Tor trial
on Monday.
Counsel again pressed for peremptory order,
but the Court SIMPLY ordered that the case be
taken up on Monday

Voting Places.

While the matter is fresh in minds of the public, and as the legislature is soon to convene, we call attention of the mem bers elect to the necessity of erecting law similar to that of California and other States prohibiting challengers and "work- CTS" from approaching within certain specified distance of the place where the voter deposits the ballot. The last number of THE ARIZONA CITIZEN refers to the same subject in appropriate terms. Here every one who voted in Prescott Nov. must have felt the need of such law. The polls were held in the office of the Probate Judge, the floor of which is about three feet above the ground, and voters had to go up two steps which were corwd- ed with the friends of different candidates for office, so that it was disagreeably uncomfortable for them and for the par
 ties who desired the right to vote. Al though no violence was manifested at the last election, yet the state of affairs at the polls was very unpleasant, and ifa space of even twenty-five feet from the ballot box was kept open by law, there would be no chance for roughness or hustling voters away from the polls, as has often been done within the remembrance of most of us..[ Arizona Miner, Noyember14.
