There was very little formalty about
the arrangements in the church yesterday.
AS long as any sitting or standing room

who were not there was conspicuous.

to regret the dead man most were the ones

THELAW'S DELAYS
Cohen and Sternberg Seek
COntinuanCeS.
Judge Wallace Begins to Wonder
When He Is 20 Be Allowed to
Conduct a Case.

The arrangement of Louis Cohen on the
indictment of the Grand Jury charging
him with perjury was the business that
occupied the attention of Judge Wallace
yesterday morning.
Attorneys Fl. /. Kowalsky, Timothy j.
Crowley and j. H. Long appeared for the
defendant and interposed a demurrer to
the indictment on statutory grounds.
They charged that the Grand Jury had no
LEGAL authority to indict Cohen; that the
PROCEEDINGS were Irregular; that the in
formation was no: sufficiently specific.
and that no cause of criminal action had
been made out against Cohen. However,
after very brief hearing Judge Wallace
decided to override the demurrer. He
then called upon Cohen to plead.
Timohy Crowl ey thereupon placed four
pleas before the court: First. not guilty !;
second. former acQuittal in the case
where the information was laid by the
Dis riot Attorney; third, once in jeopardy;
fourth, that the accused was compelled to
testify in the proceedings against Stern
berg, on which testimony the perjury
charge is made, and that on that account
he. Cohen, claimed immunity from prose-
cutinn under section 80 OF the purity of
election law.
Judge Wallace seemed taken aback at so
many pleas. but he permitted them to be
entered. Assistant District Attorney
Black then asked that the eXamin alton be
set for January 9. Wednesday next. but
Kowalsky would not agree to tni-. He
said he particularly desired to take the
depnsitions Of two persons at present resi-
dent in New York. Tni. would take
time, and Kowalsky suggested a sufficient
continhanc e for that purpose.
I'VE never reach any business in this
court" remarked Judge Wallace petn-
lantly. "The ST. delays are utterly useless
and unnecessary. They must cease. |
shall fix the case for Wednesday next and
you can make your motion for continu-
ance them"
Cohen's business being disposed Of,
LOUIS Sternberg was then arraigned on
two charges Of felony. He is accused In
one charge of illegally placing David New
man on the register Of the Forty-third
Assembly District; the other charge ac-
cuses him of similar offense, in which
the name IF A. Gutman was used.
Timothy Crowley represented Sternberg
and made the usual motion for the newt.

time to study the information.

they did not have to hurry, for the lone
line of carriages moved respectfully slow.
Arrived at the Fair mausoleum in Laurel
Hill it stopped. The orders given by the
conductor as he had closed each carriage
door at the church was that its occupants
must not leave it at the tomb. Even the

dered the carriages to drive on, and there
was rather unseemly rush to get back
into them again. Mr.. Oalrichs took his
place by the carriage road in front Of the
tomb then and as each carriage came up

Charley Fair returned to their carriages,
