each. Both men protested against the

We're not ready for trial. One of them
absolutely refused to testify, bat Was dued

A deputy United States marshal was
present at the conclusion of the trial at

prisoners upon Uuited States warrant.
The sheriff refused to give them up, and
the marshal. in chsgrin, remarked that he
was Knocked out of $50 fees which he
might have received for arresting them.
1t appears that the sheriff was also after
