FORCING THE STATE TO TRIAL.

First Blood for Justice Sheftall in the
Superior Court.
There was good deal of feeling displayed
in the lega. battle between the Solicitor
General and the counsel for Justice Thomas
J. Sheftall in the Superior Court yesterday
The latter was indicted some time ago for
alleged malpractice, and he and his counsel
and friends have all along showed willing
ness to have the case come to trial. At the
present term of the court, when the case
came on for trial ON the day assigned, the
defense entered a demand for trial, but
through some informalty it did not get on
the docket, and when it was called
up few days later it was assigned for a
hearing on yesterday. The defense was
again ready, and the State asked for "a con-
tinuance for the term. This was vigorously
resisted, and a motion was made of a de-
mand for trial. An hour and a half was
consumed in legal pyrotechnics on the OBJ
lection of the Solicitor General to the de-
mand, at the conclusion of which Judge
Adams overruled the objection.
Justice Sheftall is represented by S. B.
Adams, Esq, and r. r. Richards, Esq
The defendants friends claim that they
have made two Intellectual efforts to bring
the case to trial, and that now, with the
ruling of the court. the State must go to
trial or the defendant will be acquitted.

MORSE STILL IN TORONTO
HIS CASE TO BE HEARD THERE
THIS WEEK.

Judge McDougali Decides That There
Is Sufficient Evidence for His Extra
dition-The Case Continued Until
Wedn esday to See What There is il
the Movement to Prevent His Re-
turn Hore-What Morses Attorneys
Say About Him.
A telegram was received yesterday from
Detective Wetherhorn, dated Toronto,
May 25, stating that Judge McDougall, after
considering the argument and cases cited
decided, Friday morning, that there is
prima facie evidence for the extradition of
Morse. The defense got an adjournment
until next "Wednesday, awaiting the receipt
Of evidence which they expected that p j.
OConnor, Esq, of this city, would forward
TO aid Morse in resisting an extradition.
A MORNING News reporter called on Mr. =.
OConnor yesterday to learn if he had taken
any action in the matter. Mr.. O'Connor
was very positive in denying that he had
sent, or was likely to send, any such de-
positions to aid the cause Of the fugitive
lie stated that he was associated with r. r.
Richards, ESQ.,, as counsel for Morse and
that as junior counsel he had aided in col
!octing and noting the testimony to be in
troduced for his client when the case should
be called i'll the local court. No part of this
bad been forwarded by him to Toronto, and
Morse has never paid him dollar for legal
services rendered.
WOULD HAVE DEFENDED HIM HERE.
Had Morse remained in Savannah, Mr..
OConnor says that himself and Mr.. Rich
ards would have made an effort to acquit
their client, or at least to have brought
about a conviction for the lesser offense Of
assault, but he said that it could hardly be
expected of him to follow his client to To-
ronto with depOsitions TO prove that Morse
could not have received a fair trial here
when the contrary is true.
Mr.. O'Connor says that the only knowl-
edge he has had of the case in Toronto has
been gained by reading tie MORNING NEWS,
and he gave the reporter to infer that if
Morse expects to defeat the efforts at extra
dltlon through depositiOns obtained and for
warded by himself, he would wait long and
hopeleSsly, as his svmpathies are not en-
listed by the course that Morse has taken in
the matter.
MoRsE'S FRIENDS IN TORONTO.
It is learned from another source that
Morse's friends in Toronto wrote to R. II.
Richards, Esq, letter, in which the claim
was set up that Morse could not obtain
fair trial in Savannah, and proffering to
pay him 10 send depositions to corroborate
Morse's statement and justify his flight
from the country. 1t was learned last night
that Mr.. Richards letter was not such as
Morses friends would be inclined TO present
to aid in securing his release. Ii Morse de-
pends on dispositions of persons, sent by
either Mr.. Richards or Mr.. O'Connor, he
will be brought back without doubt
