4 Legal sQuabbie over Jesse Jones.
SAN BUENAvENTURA. March 20.
This morning, in Justice Carl
toms Court, a curious legal battle
took place over the case of Jesse
Jones, under examination on
charge of murder. The District
Attorney moved to dismiss the
prisoner as he had already
been Indicted for the same offense,
which Indictment was dismissed
by the District Court In July, 1873.
under the provisions of sections
1899 and 110l OF the Penal Code, In
order that Jones might be q wit
ness for the people against Sprague
that this dismissal was a bar to any
further proceedings, or. If not. then
the proper mode of procedure
would be to apply to the District
Court to revoke Its order on the
ground that Jones had broken faith
with the State. His associate coun-
sel, employed by the More's, strong
ly opposed this dismissal and the
Court reserved its decision. One
OF them stated that the present
proceeding was taken under the
advice Of Judge Fawcett. The
charges of arson and perjury are
yet to be investigated.
