The case of James M. Avery, charged
with incest, has been again "put over"
till another term of Circuit Court. 1t
was done in this way: The father of
the accused was here rs witness.
Tuesday night, 1t is claimed he acct
dentally fell down stairs and sustained
serious injuries which compelled him
to go home OH the next train. Atiida-
Wits were produced in Court, making
oath to the above statement, and an
adjournment asked for OH the ground
of absence of Il material witness. OF
course the Judge would feel compelled
under the circumstances to grant a
second postponement of the trial. We
saw Mr.. Avery's father ut the depot Oh
the morning he left town, accompanied
by F. Hibher and Avcry's counsel from
st. Johns; but did not imagine that the
old gentleman had met with any i'll
jury.
