The REYNOLDS CAsES.-Judge Sullivan,
of San Francisco, presided Saturday morn
ing in Department One of the Superior
Court TO hear the motions in the cases OF
the People VS.. Thomas H Reynolds. Grove
l.. Johnson and C. T. Jones appeared for
the defendant, and District Attorney Buck
ley and J. T. Carey for the people. Counsel
for the defendant moved for dismissal of
the indictments against him, on the ground
that the prosecution had tried him on the
strongest charge they had, and were unable
to convict, and now their main witness, d.
NJ. Burns, was absent from the State, and
there was no probability of his returning to
testify. No good would result from another
trial, and it would only cause great expense
and trouble. Counsel for the people argued
strongly against dismissal. The Court
took the matter under advisement until
1870 P. N. when an order was made dis
missing the indictments for embezzlement.
but holding the defendant on the five
charges of falsifying public records. The
class of cases dismissed was the same as
the cases against Burns dismissed by Judge
Van Fleet.
