There are number of cases on the
calendar. may 1t please the court,
against John Frank COllOm. l will
State that a case similar to these and the
strongest of the cases was tried in this
court and the jury disagreed. | will
therefore move the court that these
cases be dismissed from the calendar.
Mir. Biaisdrll is satisfied not to have
them tried again, and Pm satisfied that
conviction is impossible. Besides. the
cases could not be trIed at this term of
court, as Mr.. b aisdtll is to be out of
the city. 1t seems to ME the cases
should no longer burden the calendar"
Judge Lochren stated that he should
like to consult the judges who tried the
former action before drawing a formal
order. Mir. Jamison said he had COLI
suited with them and they agreed with
him fully. This being tue case. the
order Will be drawn. undoubtedly.
Comfy Attorney JamISon made the
same sort of little talk III the case of
Enoch Ray. and the indictments against
HIM were dismissed likewise.
