TEE wALDRoN CASE.
The Waldron pc jury ciss in the Superior
Court came to & sudden conclusion yes.
terdsy. The indictment sgaiust Williams,
which was sought to be introduced in the
oase against Waldrou, recited that William,
was charged with stealing twenty steers.
When the indictment was introduced it de.
veloped that Williams Vas charged with
stealing nineteen steers and one COW. This
one cow proved to be az great a disaster to
the case rs Mrs. O'Leary'S COW was to Chi.
cage. TIE defense made the objection that
the nineteen steers and one COW ia the one
case and the twenty steers alleged in the
other. constituted material " variance be-
tween charge and proof, and that defend.
ant was therefore entitled TO his discharge"
After long argumea at the Court took the
same view of it, and dismissed the jury from
further consideration of the matter, but held
the defendant to answer before the next
Grand Jury. fixing his bail at s., 600, which
he gave aud was set at liberty. difficulty
is now foreseen aud discussed by the attor-
neys on both sides, and it may be thus stated
Should Wsldron be again Indicted for the
same otfense-perjury, and be brought to
bar, ne will plead =" once in jeopardy )" that
Is, that he has been once placed upon trial and
his liberty jsopardized, and that he cannot for
the same ffense be placed twice in jeopardy
In this connection, District Attorney Buck.
ley states that since the stealing of the Biggs'
cattle, in 1878, and the following up of vii.
,.,t.,N \ IL e II
has not been single case of cattle stealing
in this county reported to The authorities, and
1t Is believed that the practice received
check by that prosecution that broke its
backbone IN Sacramento county. Out of the
cattle stealing case Of Williams grew the
charge OF peijury against Waldron, from
which be was discharged yesterday as stated.
Since the foregoing was written il is learned
that Wsldron will this morning be again
taken into custody, with bail fixed at S. 600,
on warrant issued last light by j. G. Tubbs,
Justice OF the Peace, on the complaint of
District Attorney II. L. Buckley of this
county, charging Waldron with the crime of
perjury, alleged to have been committed on
the 24th of June, 1880, usoa the first trial
OF Williams for cattle-ste aling, in that Wal
droD, as is alleged, testified that Williams
was in Modesto when he really was in ANA
dor county. the fact being material in the
trial OF Williams, as if Waldron's settlement
was true, then Wi liams would have essab-
iished an abb. This is not the Same charge
upon which Waldron was on trial Yesterday.
and for which be is held BY order of Court to
sppssr before the Grand Jury, as the date of
soe alleged perjury in that case is May, 1881.
