row. 1t is stated the prosecution will
ask for continuances from time to time
until June 4, on which date another
Judge will succeed Judge Chetlain on
the criminal branch of the county judi
ciary. BY this means the prosecution
intend, it is said, to try the case before
another judge, as Chetlain's midnight
sessions of court and stay Of execution
has prejudiced the prosecution against
him. Should Judge Chetlain refuse a
continuance, it is probable that the

case, leaving no prosecutor in court
