PEOPLE vs.. PREsToN.-The Woodland
Nal of yesterday says that on motion of
District Attorney Sprague, in the Superior
Court Of Yolo county. on Monday, the case
of the People VS.. Preston was dimissed.
This was trial for homicide, and came up
in the Court a year ago. The of1ense
charged was committed at Washington III
August 1888, one Barney Feeney being the
victim of the homicidal assault At the
time of the trial the jury disagreed, seven
being for acquittal and the five standing for
conviction, disagreeing as to the penalty
which should be visited. Since that time
the principal witness has gone to Australia,
and it was impossible to bring him before
the Court; and, even if it were possible the
attorneys having charge of the case express
a belief that a conviction could not be Sc
cured District Attorney Sprague and eX-
District Attorney Craig, who conducted the
prosecution. and Add. C., Hinkson. of Sac
ramento who assisted in the prosecution,
all certified to these facts. Upon this show
ing Judge Garoutte ordered the case dis
missed, and the defendant and his bonds
men discharged.
