DELADS0N MUST BE TRIED.
SUPREME COURT OTERR ULES THE
 DElIURRER IN THE CASE.

1
 Decisions Also Rendered in Three Other
 New Haven Cases-But One Divorce
 Granted-special Term of Criminal Su-
 perior Court Asked for to Try Dr. Lee.
 Several decisions of more than ordi-
 nary importance to New Haven resi-
 dents were yesterday handed down to
 Clerk Anketell of the superior court late
 yesterday afternoon. The decisions
 came by mail in a communication from
 Chief Justice Andrews of the supreme
 court of errors. All the decisions hand
 ed down are in New Haven cases.
 Perhaps the most important of these decisions rendered is in the case of the state vs. Edward s. De Ladson. The \ reasons in this case are given by Chief Justice Andrews. By the decision the supreme court advises the common pleas to overrule the demurrer filed by the defendant It will be remembered | that De Ladson, who keeps a restaurant on Orange street, near Crown, was charged with keeping a disorderly house. It was in his place that Alice Jacobs and Jennie Bodge, two we'll known young women of the city were found,and they were also charged with frequenting a dlsorderly house. When the case was tried in the city court Judge Cable promptly found De- Ladsop guilty and imposed fine. The case was taken on an appeal to the common pleas court, and when the case was called for trial in that court Att torney Goodhart, who appeared for De- Ladson, filed demurrer, which, at the request of the parties in interest, was taken to the supreme court of error for argument as to the question of law con- tained therein. The demurrer in full is as follows:
 The accused demurs to the states complaint because he alleges that the states complaint contains in one count and alleges therein two separate and distinct crimes and offenses, to wit: First, the keeping of a disorderly house, and second, the keeping of house where lewd, absolute and drunken peo- pie resort, each of which is punishable by fine and imprisonment
 By the decision of the supreme court in this case the trial of the complaint will have to take place, and it is prob | able that the case will be tried at the | next term of the court of common pleas |
 THREE OTHER DECISIONS.
 Three other decisions were also hand ed down, in one of which error was found. In the case of John J. O'Keefe | against the National Folding Box and | Paper company no error was found, and the reasons were given by Judge | Baldwin. In the case of James Roberts against Philo B. Norton no error was found, and the reasons are by Judge | Tenn. In the case of Frank H. Bunnell against the Berlin Iron company and William M. Taylor, no error is found, the reasons being filed by Judge Ham mersley..
