The Orangeburg News, of the 24th instant,
says: Son Tuesday morning, upon opening
the court, Judge Graham, upon looking over
the criminal docket, inquired of the solicitor
what disposition he proposed to make of the
case against +. j. Moses, Jr., and j. L. Hum
bert, indicted for breach of trust and larceny.
Solicitor Butte stated in substance, that as
motion was made at the last term of the
Court to quash the indictment against F. j.
Moses, Jr, one Of the defendants, on the
ground that he could not be tried for any Of
fense while Governor Of the State, and as the
court, during vacation, had granted the mo-
ton, it would be impossible for him to take
any further action during the present term of
the court. Solicitor Buttz, however, further
stated "that as the Governors office would ex.
pire previous to the January term of the
court, he would be able to prepare new bill
of indictment and give it to the grand jury.
He therefore moved to continue the case Of
j. L. Humbert. The motion was granted"
