He Plead Guilty?

Change OF Attorneys Made-HH III
He Plead Guilty?
Prisoners recently indicted by the
grand jury were arraigned yesterday
afternoon before Judge Brill. When
the name of Jay p. Davis was called
some surprise was OccasiOned that T. w.
Locke did not appear for him, but his
lack of appearance was partially ac-
counted for when T. T. Fauntleroy
stated that Mr.. Locke had withdrawn
from the case yesterday, and that he
had then been asked to defend Davis.
Mir. Fauntleroy said that he had not
fully determined to make defense upon
the trial, or TO farther advise Davis than
for the present and to the extent OF ask
ing that nc trial be had at the present
term, but that continuance until next
month be granted. He stated that
the defense would require some
tin.e in preparation, as there is large
amount of matter to be examined into;
besides, he had arranged for two weeks,
work in Dakota. If the trial should
take place at the present term he would
not be able to take the case, and would,
therefore, not want to advise DAVIS as
to what course to pursue at the time or
arraignment.
County Attorney O'Brien said he was
not ready to concede continuance, as
the interest of public officers should he
considered, and they had gone to great
trouble in getting the case ready. lie
thought, however, that other cases
might possibly take up the remainder
of the term, but the state would be
ready for trial if the case was reached.
He also stated tnat the present was not
the time to move for continuance, but
only to plead to the indictments. Mr..
Fauntleroy took the view that the prlS-'
oner had rights that should be coDsld-
cred. The case is an i'm yortant one, IN
yolving $4,000 or $4,000.
"Not that much" calculated Mr. O Brlen.
Il understand that about that much is i'll

is said by Mr.. O'Connor that Davis volun-
tarily gave up large sum OF money Which
he had in his possession. but Mr.. Davis
claims the money was forced from him. Inc

uty. several years ago; ana IL am 10 remain
