ANXIOUS FOR TRIAL
Van Cleef's Counsel Wish
The Case To Begin.
COLLINS ORDEAL ON MONDAY
What Counsel Say Decision On
Motion to QuasIl Kuser lndict-
ment Expected Monday.


TRENTON, July 10, 1S95.-Judge Con-
over will be at the Court House Mon
day morning to hand down his decision to
the motion of counsel for John Kuser to
quash the indictment by which he ana
Charles Robinson, of Princeton, and Otto
Heinz and Emil Kraeutler, of Newark,
were conformity indicted. There has been
a great deal of speculation as to what
the decision will be. some well informed
lawyers think the motion will be denied.
Mr.. Buchanan of counsel for Kuser,
has expressed himself as being quite con-
fdent of the contrary. He thinks the
point that "a person charged in an indict-
ment with conspiracy to defraud by the
violation of a certain law and supple
ments thereud that are subsequently
found not to be in existence. is shown by
the indictment itself to be innocent OF
the crime charged.
JUDGE HOFFMAN, MOVES FOR
P0STPONEMENT.
Judge Hoffman, counsel for John Null
Inns, the Jersey City furniture dealer,
whose trial was set down for the goth
inst, will move for a p-ostponemcnt on
| Monday. The indicted mentioned above
also want a p-ostponement until the re-
turn of Samuel Kalisch from Europe in
September next, and it looks now as
though the cases will go over If the in
dictment is not quashed.
Mr.. Barton, counsel for Colonel John
7. Van Cleef. said yesterday that the
-umor to the effect that he would move
to quash the Indictment against that
gentleman was not true; neither would
he certiorari the record to the Supreme
Court. 1--WE are ready for trial" said

Robinson, said that in the event of an
unfavocable decision from Judge Con-
over on the motion to ouash the joint
Indictment against mis- client and Kuser.
Heinz and Kraeutler, a writ of certiorar-
will be asked for taking the record to
the Supreme Court. Whether this would

Court Judges would not entertain such
