The Moses Trial.
- A correspondent of the Charleston
Neus and Courier furnishes that paper with
the following account of the proceedings had
in the Court at Orangeburg last Friday, in
reference to the indictment of Governor Moses
and County Treasurer Humbert, charged with
grand larceny, from which it will be seen that
the case was continued until the next term OF
the Court:
Gas was expected and predicted, the trial Of
Franklin j. Moses, jr., amounted to nothing.
The case was called at twelve o'clock, Moses
being represented by E. w. Noise, Elliott
and Chamberlain, and Solicitor Butts appear
ing for the State. At the opening of the
Court the crier was ordered to call Moses,
and, no answer being made, the solicitor asked
the court to sign another bench warrant tor
his arrest This the court refused to do, say
ING that it could make no special exception in
this case, as the court had already made a
general order for bench warrant for all ab-
sent defendants. Mr.. Buttz then entered
formal objections against the court allowing
any lawyers to appear for Moses until he
came into court and acknowledged its JurIs-
diction. Mr.. E. W. Noise, counsel for Moses,
then made motion to have the case stricken
from the docket on the ground that the gov
ernor of State cannot be indicted and tried
without being first impeached. MIR. Buttz
objected to the court entertaining the motion
until Moses appeared and was arraigned; but
the court decided to hear argument on the
point, whereupon Noise made long argu-
ment in support Of his motion. Solicitor
Buttz followed in long and earnest speech,
coutending that the governor of State was
Just as liable to arrest and Indictment for fel-
ony as any private citizen, and urging the
court to vindicate its outraged dignity and
selfrespect, by refusing to recognize the coun'
sci of Moses until he appeared in the court
and purged himself of contempt. Elliott
followed in long speech in support Of the
motion, contending that the court had no ju-
risdiction in the case. After the argument,
the court decided to reserve its decision. and
announced that this would work Il continual
ton of the case until the next term Of the
court. 1t stated here that under the general
orders of the Court of Sessions, the clerk of
the court will issue bench warrant for the
arrest of Moses. The expected motion for
a change of venue was not made During
the argument the court house was crowded to
the utmost capacity, and the solicitors denun.
Citations of Moses populations were received
with shouts of laughter. After announcing
that the decision would be reserved, the Court
ofSessions was adjourned for the term. This
termination of the case is regarded as favora-
bic for Moses, whose friends are jubilant this
evening. Mr. Butte says that he has docu-
mentary evidence in his possession sufficient
to convict Moses if he can ever bring him to
trial; but the prospects of doing so seem,
from the present outlook, to be rather slim. -
