CASES.
The hearing in the Treasury robbie ~ and Sny-
der release cases was resumed this morning in
the Criminal Court, Judge Macarthur. Ottman,
Halleck and Brown, Green, Fisher, Evans and
Leighton were all in attendance, with their coun-

son fer the Government.
Mr.. Elliott said that on Friday, while the jury
was out, the counsel for the accused in the Treas
ury robbery case, held a consultation with the
District attorney, and 1t was virtually agreed
that these cases were not to be called until the
December term. He understands now that the
District attorney this morning stated to the court
that such arrangements were not perfected, or
were of, and they were expected to proceed, when
Mr.. Henkle asked if there was to be a contin-
uance OF the Halleck case.
postponement. II the counsel for defense had
any motions to make in regard to the legality OF
the grand Jury, he would like to have them taken
up now.
Mr.. Elicit suggested that inasmuch as the
counsel could not agree that the court should
take the II after in hand, he thoughtit not unroa-
sonable to until the first Monday in December.
Mr.. Henkle said that 10 the Hallsck case he
was the sole counsel. The pleas in this case re-
garded as diIatory were merely to obtain rea-

Mir. Cook said the counsel in these cases pro-
posed to withdraw the pleas as were considered
dilatory, leaving 1t with the Government to elect
which three of the indictments the cases would
be tried on. Another motion was to squash. The
questions of election and that to squash would
take but little time. After this was settled he
would ask that the trial be postponed until the
first week in December, but not the first Mon
day, rs upon that day Congress meets and it
would maEeit hard to gettheir witnesses, sc.
Judge Macarthur then stated that the time
did not seem unreasonable and he could give
them until the 7th OF December. The motion to
Mr.. Henkle stated then that his client was
ready to plead.
Hslleck stepped forward, and the indictments
for larceny and embsZZlement were read, TO both

SNYDER RELEASE CASE.
The District attorney then asked that the cases
OF those concerned in the Snyder release be taken
up, as he believed Mr.. Evans was ready to plead.
Mr.. Cook said that in these cases the question
yet stood open as TO the constitutionality of the
ing these cases until he had consulted with the
other counsel, and asked that the case be post
pOned until to-day alto o'clock, which motion
was granted. Mr.. Cook then filed motion to
Of Mr.. Evans, and asked . postponemen. until
Friday. This motion was also granted,
