prepare himself. Last night he had
looked up certain authorities on the
point in question. The objections
are that indictment does not specify
time or charge. He considered charge
as made was sufficient. The gist of
the conspiracy was held in the con-
spiracy and not in acts. He had
heard nothing from counsel about
lfo Fon conspiracy. Understood it
as conspiracy to commit treason with
out specifying act.
Creighton--Same thing here. The
Supreme Court gave decision en-
tirely against the authority on which
Judge Carter based his decision.
