about being instituted In the District courts to
determine the liability OF the stockholders in the
National Express and Transportation company.
This was company which started after the war
to do the express business in the south, and was

the company are now trying to collect suf1cient
assessments from the stockholders OF the late COM

The Case Against ex-Detective Acton

HIS COUNSEL ASKS FOR SPEEDY TRIAL.
Mr.. Cahil1, counsel for ex-Detective Joseph Acton
today In the Criminal Court, called Judge Wylie's
attention to the case and asked that it be set for
trial. because one OF the most important witnesses
was now in the city, and would be here only week
or ten days; after that time he did not know when
he could be had.
The court suggested that Mr. Cahill consult Mr..
Wells and MI. Taggart, for an early day might be
fixed upon.
Mr.. Cahill said he could not get Mr.. Wells to do
anything, and he could not see how anything could
be gained by consulting with him. There was
nothing in the case.
The court said he knew nothing OF the case. but
knew that there was nothing In the two already
tried.
Mr.. Cahin repeated that he was anxious for a
trial. and said that 1t was not right to keep the in
d1ctmentS hanging over him. The counsel seem to

have liked the rulings, but he was sure that he
ruled the law. --
MI Cahill said he did not doubt the correctness
OF the rulings, and whether Gov. Wells liked them
or not he would have to submit to them.
The court told Mr. Cahfll to consult with Mr.
Taggart, and Mr. c. did so, but no further proceed
