Yesterday was the day set for Mr..

tion. He was represented by S. Scion
Holl, e. Z. Jones, Wilbur Z. George and
j. w. Armstrong. The following attor-
news in addition to those named will also
look to the interests of Mr.. Ryan: Arm

L. c. Hart
When the case was called Judge Holl
asked that the matter be continued for
short time in order to give him and his
associates an opportunity to prepare and
present authorities in support of Ryan's
motion to dismiss the proceedings. Mr..
Hon said the objections to the accusation
are serious ones, and he wanted time in
which to get them in shape and present
them properly in court.
A. l.. TART objected to a continuance.
He said it would be TO the interests of the
accuser and accused if the matter was
speedily disposed OF. 1t has been charged
that the proceedings were commenced as
political move against Mr.. Ryan's
candidacy for District Attorney. The at
torney said that he would not have con-
sented to be Whites attorney if the accu-
sation was brought to injure Ryan in his
,r.,.a for the District AttOrnayShip ITndar
