A Decision Which May Release Many
Prisoners.
TACOMA, November 22d.-A decision was
rendered in the State Supreme Court yes
terddy IN the case of ] c. McCarty. 3D.
pelant, vs. The State of Washington. The
Court, in its review of the case, said this is
proceeding by information on the charge
OF grand larceny for stealing ninety-three
alleged tickets belonging to the Northern
Pacific To this the defendant interposed
demurrer that 1.-THE information did not
state ctssutticientt0c constitute an offense,n
aud that there was no authority for pro-
ceedng by information.
The Court goes on to say that Article VI,
Section rs, OF the Constitution of the Safe
of Washington, provides for proceedings by
Information. The Act of the Legislature
authorizing proceedings by information
was passed January 90 1890 Tie C0nsti
tuition, by an Act of Congress, as well SIS by
It's own terms. did not become operative
until the Presidents proclamation, which
was not made until November IL, 1859; so
that the date of the alleged crime ante
dates not only the enactment of the Legis-
laiure. but also the vivifying of the Con-
stituion by the Presidential proclamation.
Tne Court HOLDS that defendant was en-
titled 10 the United States guaranty of pre-
c6biHlSit ON OfdDO Jury on the II Il Gay
OF October, 1889, as the laws of the Terri
tory of Washington were then made under
the supervision of the United States Con-
gress, and the courts of the Territory were
really United States Courts. Having the
right at that time, it could not be taken
from him by any retroactive enactment of
the ate, even if it had been the intention
OF the Legislature to make the Act retroact-
i've in its statute.
I'VE do not think says tie Court, 1.-The
defendant can be held to answer the charge
unless on presentment TO Grand Jury. We
are also of the opinion that the information
failed TO state facts sufficient to charge the
crime of larceny. The value Of each ticket
should have been alleged and the informa-
ton should have shown that they were
genuine Elective railway tickets as an IN
stamped. undated ard unsigned railway
ticket is not subject of larceny.
Judgment is reversed and the case re-
mardsd to the lower court, with instruc-
tions 70 sustain the demurrer"
Under this decision Hoyt and Stone, sent
from this county for the murder of Encch
Crosby and at least a dozen other persons,
must be released, aside from seventy FIVE or
one hundred others throughout the State.
The question will now come up, Can they
again be put in jeopardy" many having
served great portion of their sentences.
i is said this is the first time matter of
this KIND has been fully passed upon in any
State court.

Report That General Miles is Using the
Indian Scare for Political Purposes.

WASHINGTON, November 22d.-A Wash
ington paper Yesterday quoted ''promi-
ne ut officer" of the War Department as
saying that General Miles is trying to
create big Indian scare and glorify him.
self by suppressing the alleged Indian
mes ,ilities" in the Northwest, thereby set
ling up little boomlet for the Presidential
nomination in 1892. This paragraph was
telegraphed far and wide by the Washing
ton correspondents.
An army officer said to the California
Associated Press reporter: II have recently
been to the Pine Ridge Agency and other
agencies in Dakota where the Messiah
craze exists, and have little doubt that it
is, or certainly has been, the subject of very
grave apprehension on the part of the au-
thorities 1t is well known that the
strength of these Indians, among whom
the craze prevails, is very great, there be-
ing altogether 5000 or 5000 warriors, and
although they could probably be defeated
by the troops, yet before then there would
be tremendous damage done to the plos-
perity of the country, without speaking of
the loss of life. So much attention has
been directed to the danger. that the Presi-
dent telegraphed General Miles over his
own name to take all necessary precau-
ons.
The experience which General Miles
has had with these Indians has given him
a thorough knowledge of their character,
and he was especially chosen On the
Cheyenne Commission on account of his
peculiar fitness and knowledge. From the
time Of the Custer massacre to the final
surrender of all the Sioux he was most
prominent, ard several thousand Indians
were killed, captured or forcsd to sur
render themselves through his efforts
1T seems singular that any army officer
should make such a statement that Gen
eral Miles is endeavoring to overrate this
affair, or that his wise methods, which have
received the sanction of the War Depart
ment, and were directed by the President
of the United States, should catse him to
appear in a political role.
Such an inference can only be actusted
by a cowardly and envious spirit, which
am glad to say rarely exists in our army.
1t is strange that man with the record of
General Miles, both during and since the
civil war, should thus be attacked by an
officer. That ne should be mentioned in
the role of Presidential candidate is moth
ing extraordinary, as nearly all of our most
noted soldiers, particularly Grant, Sher-
man, Hancock and Logan, have been
brought forth by the people On account of
their services and prominence"

BANK FAILURE.
W. L. Prettyman, of Chicago, Makes an
ASSIGNMENT.


CHICAGO. November 22i-The private
bank of W. L. Prettyman, on the North
side, closed its doors this morning. Pret-
lyman could not re found, so no statement
of the assets and liabilities is obtsinahle
Many poor peoples hard.earned savings
are involved. Lyons Bros, dealers ia
crockery, have SIS 600 On deposit This is
believed to be the largest single loss.
This afternoon an assignment was made
to the cashier of the bank, Johnson, and at
the same time he was made assignee OF the
North Division Lumber Company, IN which
Prettyman is the heaviest stockholder.
Prettrman also assigned his real and psr-
sonal estate.
The assets and liabilities of the two con-
Germs and PIettyman's estate will reach, it
is believed million dollars
Assignee johnson refuses to make any
statement of the assets 'or liabilities CT
either the bank or lumber company. He
said the cause of the assignment was the
tight money market and It's bad effect on
the lumber company. This concern and
the bank are closely connected.
One of the former GepositorS in the bank,
however, who has pretty good knowledge
of the affairs, believes that the liabilities of
the bank will reach half a million and the
assets problematical. He said that Pretty
man had been specializing heavily this year
in real estate, and putting up houses for
sale, end that the business has not proved
profitable. A large number of depositors
in the bank are poor people.
