A somewhat lengthy discussion then
took place, Judge Krum for the defense
contending that three counts of the indict-
ment against his client were insufficient
and should be quashed. Gen. Henderson
for the prosecution replied and admitted
that one of the counts was insufficient, but
maintained that the others were good and
binding upon the defendant. The court
sustained Judge Krum's position as to two
counts, and said he should instruct the
jury to return verdict of not guilty as to
them. Other counts were held to be good
and the defense then proceeded with their
side by introducing three letters of 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 mid.
die name and Avery's christian name, in
writing 10 each other. Dispositions of per-
sons in Washington relating to the good
character of Avery were read This done
Judge Krum announced that to be the case
for the defense. Adjourned.
