ESPECIAL TO THE SENTINEL
WASHINGTON, Nov. 5.-Prominent law
yers of the district are nearly unanimous
in the opinion that the defendants in the
in progress against the validity Of in
formation. Should the present motion to
strike it off the docket fail, the motion to
quash it will follow, with a fair prospect
of success. But the opinion is general
that Judge Cox will grant the motion to
strike it off. 1t is alleged that should this
occur there would be a practical end of
the prosecution of Brady. There would
remain the case against Dorsey and others
Of less note, but the moral effect OF the
failure against Brady would be to render
any other prosecution before the present
Grand Jury exceedingly doubtful Of sue
cess. Lawyers think that this proceeding,
instead OF being preliminary, is o real
fight. Counsel on both sides are 30 treat
ing it, and the prospect is that the argu-
ments will last through the greater part of
next week. Ingersoll will occupy the
whole OF to-day. Counsel for the prose-
cution hold that should the information
fail entirely there would still remain
grounds for indictments against Brady,
French and Turner. Ingersoll appears to
be entirely confident that to win now will
be decisive.
