charged with causing the Secor bomb
explosion. and Frank ]. Palica, charged
with being an accessory to the crime,
were arraigned for examination before
Justice Heyer on the LIST inst. Jambor
obtained a change of venue to Justice
Wentworth's court. The examination
of Palica was proceeded with. A num-
Der of witnesses were examined and the
case was adjourned until the 9Th inst.
The evidence to be adduced against
Jambor is said to be very strong.
When Palica was brought up on Tues
day the District Attorney moved to dis
miss the prisoner. The object of the
motion was to place the prisoners, Palica
and Jambor, on the same footing as if
they had never been arraigned and to
arrest them on new warrants, with view
to having their examination together.
Justice Heyer granted the motion
to dismiss, and both defendants were at
once arrested on warrants nearly identi-
cal with the first issued. When arraigned
upon the new warrants, Justice Heyer
took exception to remarks of Mr.. Fish,
which he construed as a reflection upon
the honor of the court, and declined to
hear the case further, whereupon Mr..
Cooper moved that the defendants be
discharged. This motion was also al
lowed. New warrants were issued by
Justice Wentworth, and the prisoners
were brought before him for hearing.
They pleaded not guilty, and the exam
ination was adjourned until Wednesday
morning. Bail was fixed at $4,000,
which was furnished. The case is being
bitterly contested by both prosecution
and defence.
