The MoMsfaia Aead0W Marderer's
Trial.
Beaver, Sept. 19.-In the Lee trial,
this morning, Spicer made a motion
that Lee be discharged on the grounds
that the statutes of 1852, under which
he was indicted, had been repealed by
an act of the governor and Territorial
legislature, passed and coming into
effect March 4th, 1876. He read sew
eral sections of the new penal code,
citing numerous authorities. The pros
ecution made no reply.
Judge Boreman, in replying, said Il
do not think there is anything in the
point raised. admitting that the statute
Of 1852 is expressly repealed, but the
authorities cited are not applicable to
the case and / cannot see that any
jubilee was granted to John ID. Lee by
the Territorial legislature or by the
law.n
Denny began the opening address for
the prosecution this morning, and con-
tinued till the recess at 2:30 p. m,
combining himself to the acts of Lee in
melting the Indians to attack the emf
grants before the answer to the message
sent Brigham Young was received, and
acting in opposition to the direc-
tions of the council at Cedar. showing
that Lee was the main leader in the
massacre from the beginning to the
end.
J.. G. Foster followed for the defence
and advanced the theory that Lee par
ticipated in the massacre by an order
from a higher authority at Cedar, and
that the witnesses We're not competent
