CHICAGO, July 25.-Debs and the other
officers Of the American Railway union
met with a decided reverse yesterday in
their fight against the prosecution for
contempt in the United States court. The
court decided that the answer filed by the
defendants is not sufficient reply to the
charge of contempt, and the motion of
their attorneys that they be discharged
was overruled. Today the court is hear
ing the evidence Of the government to
sustain the contempt charge, aud the de-
PENDANTS will be given the opportunity to
produce evidence in their defense.
The decision OF the court was announced
by Judge Woods after he had conferred
for few minutes with his colleague,
Judge Grosscup. Judge Woods said in
substances: ut is true that a procedure
like this is criminal technicality, but not
essentially. 1t is an incident in the main
case in equity under the bill filed by the
government. No case has been cited here
in which the federal courts have sustained
the proposition put forward by the attor,
neys for the respondents. IL anything
should happen to change our minds dur
ing the further course of the case the de
PENDANTS will have the benefit Of the
change"
During the discussion Edwin Walker
special counsel for the government, made
the suggestion that 1t was within the
power Of the defendants to end the trou
BILE by declaring the strike off. They are
still in contempt, he said, and the govern
ment is in possession of information that
the injunction is still being violated
Judge Woods said that if there are fur
ther violations Of the injunction supple
mental information can be filed and til,
guilty parties will find themselves in
much worse position than they woulc
otherwise be in. Attorney Gregory deniec
