BAKER MUST STAND TRIAL.
His Case Has Been Postponed From Good
Cause.
So Judge Hinkson Declared in Answer
to His Attorneys Motion
Yesterday.

S. r. Hart attorney for Harry Baker,
moved in Judge Hinksons court yester-
day afternoon, after the conviction of
Callendine, for the dismissal of the case
against his client, on the ground that he
had not been brought to trial within
the sixty days provided by statute. He
said the case had not been continued by
Bakers wish since May 18th.
District Attorney Ryan said that the
case was continued at that time on ap
plication Of Albert Johnson, on account
of the illness of Hiram w. Johnson,
Bakers attorney, and was continued
till the 25th. Baker had no attorney
from that time till June 9th.
Hart said that he was engaged as at
itorney before that time, and Judge
Hinkson asked him if he notified the
court or the District Attorney of the
fact before the 9th. Hart replied that
he did not, as the court was engaged in
the Callendine trial.
Ryan contended that Hart was not an
attorney in the case till he had notified
the court and District Attorney Of the
fact
The court said the statute was a salu.
tary one, and there was good cause for
it. It was the policy of the law that
every man should have a speedy trial,
and should be discharged if he did not
get it; but what did that mean? If a
case already on the calendar consumed
all the time that would be a good reason
for not bringing him to trial.
In his opinion, the defendant was not
ready for trial before June 9th, because
neither he nor the District Attorney had
received notice before that time, when
Hart had demanded it be tried on the
Sth, and the District Attorney objected,
on the ground that the jurors in the Cal
lendine case We're disqualified The
court believed that it would not be
proper to take that jury, and when the
District Attorney stated his objection
Mr. Hart said nothing, and his assent
was given by his not objecting.
The motion would therefore be de-
MED.
