Captain George Hyde for the murder at Tonawanda
last October Of Captain Phillips and his son Char.es
opened this morning with a sensational motion on

ground that the crime committed upon the high
seas. and, therefore. In the exclusive jurisdiction
OF the United States courts. Mr.. Laing presented
an argument In favor OF his motion. He said: 1T
appears that the crime was committed In the
Niagara River. a navigabe stream. and on board a
vessel and that the termination of the voyage OF
the vessel was New-York City. This county would
have Jurisdiction IL the river passes through the
