District Attorney Winslow yesterday made q
motion for the transfer OF the OF the indicted

next Oyer and Terminer, which will convene to-
day. In accordance with Governor Dlx's proclama-
ton. Among the defendants are four OF the
present Charity Commissioners, ex-Tax Collector
Badeau and ex-Deputy Collector Gill. Mr..
Winsl0w said that mis- reason for making
the motion was, was that he believed It would

by no personal feeling In the matter other than
quickly as possible. THIS motion was an er pdrte
one, and such, he believed was the practice In

missoners, also opposed, and, IN the course OF his
remarks, id:-Thls motion is, to my mind, sug-
gestive that there Is q move somewhere to get
these cases into court where my clients will be
at a disadvantage, and they are at q disadvantage
from the very TACT that their cases are to be sent
to court specially convened. and that too when
their cases are OF MINOR Importance. That gives
significance to the TACT that this Court has been
specially convened Tor their trial. and these men
are not to be branded beforehand by this fact That
II has apparently been thought necessary to con-
vene court specially for the trial OF their cases.
Now, our cases are very ordinary, and should be
tried IN the ordinary courts OF Kings county, and
II the District Attorney has any extraordinary
case which cannot be tried before the ordinary
courts, then ! would not object TO him converting
extraordinary court Tor the trial OF his extraor.

The order OF transfer was then made out and the
