LOCAL INTELLIGENCE.

TRIAL FOR MURDER. case of Nancy
A. Hamilton. indicted for the murder Of hsl
husband, George Hamilton, was yesterday
taken up in the Superior Court before Judge
benson. Clinton L. White, attorney for the
prisoner, submitted motion for continu
ance of the case upon the ground of absence
of his associate, Greed Raymond. The me.
ton was overruled. Mr.. White then asked
an order Of attachment for Mr.. Raymond,
but the Court declined to grant this order,
stating as the ground fer so doing that Mr..
Raymond notified the Court some days since
that he would not be abe 10 attend the trial
on account of i'll health The presiding Judge
thereupon informed defendant Of the fact,
and told her that if she desired he would APP
point such additional counsel as she would
select, but she declined to have any one APP
pointed He therefore now would not per-
nit a postpolement Of the case. The work
of selecting q jury was then proceeded
with, ana occupied the remainder of
the day At 3 o'clock P. IL. the

HELD FOR TRIAL The examination of
Veit Hedley, who was arrested for burglary
of the saloon in the lower part of the Turner
Hall building, was held yesterday, and re-
suited in his being detained for trial before
the Superior Court. The evidence is cor
elusive from eye witnesses, and, rather than
be tried, he will probably plead guilty, with
the hope that his sentence will be thereby
made lighter He was recently arrested for
till-pilfering in another saloon, but when he
came before the Court the prosecuting wit
ness declined to prosecute, aud he was dis
charged. Had the prosecuting attorney at
that time compelled the giving of the facts
by the witness against him, the prisoner
would probably have saved State Prison
term by now being in the chain-gang for his
past offense. The dismissal Of such cases at
the mere beck or connivauce OF the prosecut-
ing witness invariably results in making
criminals holder and crime mora frequent.
