TEcHNIcALITY RETARDING THE COURSE OF
JUSTICE.
BY TELEGRAPH TO THE HERALD
HARRISBURG Pa. Nov. 26, 1879.
As was foreshadowed yesterday the Court this
afternoon quashcd the indictment against ex-Repre
sentative salter. charged with having offered money
to eight members of the Legislature for thor votes
for the s4oOoOoO Riot Claims BILL and having after
ward committed perjury by swearing before the
legislative committee thar ne had not corruptly
approached anybody. Although the prosecution
had engaged such distinguished lawyers as Judge
Black. of this State and Senator Carpenter OF Wis
consin it was evident after the defence had shown
that twenty-four persons participated III the
fndings that the Court would set aside
the indictments. The prosecution relied upon the
Jurors had been sworn, but by the evidence it was
shown that more was on the jury, ana that the
supposed to have been excused took part In the
dehbe of the body. The Court overruled all
the motions of the defence to quash the indict-
ments except that relating to the detective Grand
Jury, and at the CONCLUSION OF the uecisAoh uoBe
Pearson said
oUAsHED ON rEcHNIcALrTY.
81 am very sorry to have come to this conclusion.
because it is not trying tho case on its merits ana
these men, if they escape their trial this time
escape what might be called substantial techni-
calitles.
The Judge also indicated that the indictments
against the eight others accused OF corrupt soics
ton of members of the Legislature, two others ac-
cused of a similar offence and OF perjury woud iaI
with this decision. The prosecution resisted this
sweeping determination Of the aud after very
animated discussion, lasting nearly two hours
Judge Pearson agreed to suspend Judgment III the
OF Alexander W. Leisenrng. president of the First
National Bank of Mauch Chunk. who is alleged to
have offered to divide with two members OF tne
Legislature from his county the expected profits
from speculations in Pennsylvania Raiiroad Stock
which he predicted would rise in value on the pas
SAGE of the Riot Losses bill. The defendant not
in the court room and his counsel said that he was
not in the city The Court then fixed the beginning
of the trial for Friday afternoon.
PROMISED EVIDENCE.
The prosecution will furnish evidence that will
contradict that submitted by the defence. and which
is expected to show that the Grand Jury was tam
pered with 1t Is doubtful II they will be able to
prevent the other indictments from being quashed,
unless they should prove that two OF the Grand
Jurors who testified perjured themselves. In the
event of the Court deciding all the in favor OF
the defence, the legislative prosecuting committee
will have bills drawn in the cases OF the ac-
cused. which will be submitted to the Grand Jury
OF the January term There doubt that they
will again be indicted for the same offences as before.
