Tom smothers Arralgnch.

There was considerable Excitement in the
Criminal courtroom for short time last Sat.
urday afternoon, but it was not long in sub
siding Tho Grand Jury came in at 1l:30
o'clock and presented an Indictment against
Thomas Smothcrs for rape and assault with
intent to commit rape upon Miss Lena Leins,
Hardly had ii been presented before the ac-
cused entered the courtroom, accompanied by
Guard5man Colonel Perry Carson. The Gus.
todian of tho prisoners Is looked upon as n
pretty lofty man, bat Smothers lowered above
him almost a head. He /, six feet four inches
in height, with immonsc broad shoulders, and
looks perfect Hercules in strength. His
head is small, and shaped like a cocoanut.
There is nothing proposscssing about the APP
pcarance OF tho man, but much Of Il rcpulsiyo
character. Ho was stood up for arragnmcnt,
and pleaded not guilty TO the charge. 1t was
thcu found that the counsel he once engaged
had withdrawn for future Of tho defendant to
comply with the agreement entered into boz
tween them. His Honor was anxious that tho
accused should enjoy the. benefit of good com.
sci, and Mr.. Ben Davenport finally consented
to appear for him. The case will be called for

Hon. Columbus Delano, was again beftre Jus.

day. Tho case camo up upon motion for a
new trial. Ills counsel, Mr.. i. p Stanton,
based ID upon the grounds first that the testi.
| moly of the defendant was not admitted rs
to the condition of his mind aud feeling ut the
time of tho assault, or to show provocation OK.
| copt what occurred Mt the time of the assault;
| second, DR.. y. W. Bliss was permit ted TO tcs-
tify what would have been tho effect Of the
blow Ii the hat had not doadonod it, when In
fact the hat did deadon it. The motion was
overruled and tho Court, after commenting
upon tho seriousness of tho assault aud evident
premcdilation with which II was committed,
sentenced Judge Wrightto be confined In Jail
thirty days, and to pay Gne of II, coo.
MI Stanton asked delay Of tho execution
Of the sentence for n few days until they
could get out a writ of habeas corpus.
Mr.. Perry, Assistant District Attorney did
not wish to do anything against Judge Wright
more than he felt compelled as his duty to do,
but II was his duty TO see that tho case was not
tried differently from any other in that court.
lIc proposed 10 tlcAt all alike-tho highest
aud tho lowest.
Mr. Stanton said that they did not want any
different treatment, but the Court had the
power, IL IL chose TO exercise it, to perform
what they asked.
His Honor replied that there wero cases
whore sentence had boon suspended but lie
did not know of n case where it had once boou
imposed that the execution was stayed IN the
manner asked for. There were cases of parties
sentenced to tho penitcntiary who carried
their appeal to the lngher conrt, and they
were detained at the Jail until result IN that
hearing was obtained hut not permitted their
liberty. lie was not disposed 10 pursue a diff.
ferent manner in this case, and tho law must
take its course.
subsequently Mr.. Stanton carried his petit
ton for habeas corpus toChb,f-Justice Cartier,
and His Honor suggested that the cas-, I've pre-.
sonted to the court in general term to-day.
Later, Judge Wright, accompanied by Colonel
Perry Carson, proceeded to the Jail. When he
got there the Judge seemed in pretty good hu.
NOR and j1vially asked the warden If lie could
obtain board for month.
Judge Wrighrs counsel will to-day make
another effort to secure the release Of his
client He says he will move in the general
term that Judge Wright be released on bail.
