The GRANT PARISH PRIsoNERs-Mr. W.
r. Whitaker, counsel for w. j. Crulkshank
and others, charged with conspiracy and
murder in Grant parish last April, and
whose recent trial in the United States Cir
cult Court resulted in mistrial, yesterday
appeared before Judge Woods and asked
that the prisoners be released on bail, ex-
pressing the belief that the court could
grant the favor. Judge Woods deemed the
case entirely with the court, and announced
that he would go no farther than to release
A. c. Lewis on good bond, as that accused
had been returned as not guilty as charged.
Other indictments are standing against
Lewis as well as against the others. 1t is
impossible to say when the next trial will
beg lin; 1t is doubtful as to this term OF court.
