Judge Wylie presided for the pur- pose of argument of the motion en- tered upon on Monday last for the arrest of judgment in regard to Miner and Redell, and the increase of bonds for the defendants as to whom the jury failed to agree. Brady, Vail and J. w. Dorsey were present, and as soon as the court was called to order, Reredell and Miner entered, escorted by two sheriffs. The court said the matter of bonds would be taken up first. He held that subsisting bonds would continue in force for the defendants as to whom the jury failed to agree were concerned. Merrick concurred, but insisted that the court increase Vail's bonds, which the court did, from $5,000 to $10,000. Henkle argued that the verdict was inconsistent, and should be set aside. The court sad the jury were instructed that two or more must be found guilty. They found two guilty and acquitted one, Turner, who was not really prosecuted, and one who was dead and disagreed as to three others. It was mystery of the jury room what course the jury travelled in reaching verdict, but it was verdict never theless. Though there were some more prominent eonspirators and some tools yet all of these were found guilty are equally liable. The Court might in apportioning punish ment distinguish between dupes and leaders. Henkle said the Court said during the trial that Brady was the key to the conspiracy. The Court replied that if there was conspiracy Brady was the key stone. He was not essential to it. The verdict was consistent with the theory of the in- dictment. Henkle promised to pre- sent in argument for setting aside the verdict and then urged that the de- fendanis be released on bail until motion for uew trial was disposed of.
