somewhat in detail the illicit opera
tons at bis distillery, and his connsc-

senior counsel for the defense. ad
dressed the Court and requested an ad-
di!ional hour at recess for the purpose
Of cor ferring with Government attor-
neys concerning points to be covered
by questions in President Grants de-
position. The defense had at first SUP.
posed that they might require the per-
sonal presence of the President as a
witness, but from the present aspect
OF the case, defoEse are confident it
VIII be entirely unnecessary to put the
chief magistrate to this Inconvenience.
The Presidents deposition could be
taken by the Chief Justice and reach
here in time to DE introduced ms evi-
dehce for the defendant. The District
Attorney cautiously acquiesced in the
proposal of defense for consultation in
