against the prisoner I; had heen alleged
that Meara had uti rcd he check Oh tho
7th day of October and forged it one day
previous,
Mr.. Cooper explained that there were two
indictments in the count end he therefore
saw no improper ORA wing in the writ. The
court agreed with the state and ordered
the case to trial. The jury was drawn, but
before the examination Of witnesses was
begun Mr.. Springer asked that the case be
laid over, as several witnesses would not
be in court until later. The court allowed
the continuance. The jury drawn remained
in the box.

he was ready in the cases Of the state VS..
George w. Roberts. for criminal libel
John II. Sterlith, for using Il minor girl
for immoral purposes and JOHN NJ. Clayton.
for attempted bribery. IL the Roberts
case, Henry G. Conrad stated to the court
that as he had only met his client this
morning 1t was impossible for him to go
into trial until the February term. Mr.
Cooper thought tho ground not legal one
for continuance and therefore opposed
the motion strongly.
Medford II. CahO0n who Is associated
with Mr.. Conrad, said the case was a Sefi-
Gus one to the defendant and one which
would require all the time asked for to
prepare. He could not see how the state
would be put to a disadvantage by a com
tinuance. Beside there were witnesses ont
Of the state whom tine defence hoped 20
USE. This fact Mr.. White said gave a dir
fereEt phase to the case. as the court also
considered and the matter went over until

continuance will be made
