somewhat lengthy discussion then took
place, Judge Krum, for the defense, contend
ing that three counts Of the indictment
against his clients we're insufficient and
should be quashed.
Gen. Henderson, for the prosecution, ad-
mitted that one of the counts was insufficient,
but maintained the others were good and
binding upon defendant The court sus-
tanned Judge Krums position as to two
counts, and said he should instruct the jury
to return q verdict Of not guilty as to them.
The other counts were held to be good, and
the defense then proceeded with their side,
introducing three letters of a social character
which had passed between Joyce and Avery,
and tending to show that they were in the
habit of using such familiar terms as Billy
and Aleck-Joyce's middle name and Avelys
Christian name-in writing to each other.
Dispositions of persons in Washington re-
lating to the good character Of Avery were
also read. This done, Judge Krum announced
that to be the case for the defense.
The arguments will be heard tomorrow.
