COURT OF APPEALS.
OPINIONS HANDED DOWN nY NJ
YESTERDAY.

The members of the legal fraternity
OF Dallas are very much Interested IN
the proceedings of the court Of Grim
inal appeals this week. II was thought
by many that the honorable BODY
would render an opinion yesterday IN
the famous Kearby habeas corpus con
tempt case, but in this they were mis-
taken.
1t is thought, however. that the court
will tomorrow hand down a decision
which viii make radical change IN
the criminal procedure OF the state
and this case has for the time thrown
the Kearby matter In the shade from
q point Of interest among the lawyers.
The case referred to Is one In which
the point arises as 10 the admissibility
of the evidence of deceased witnesses.
II Is common report, ans tse 'eBul ira
ternity seem to concur in the opinion,
that the court will hold that the stat
ute allowing the testimony OF witness
es deceased In cases on trial, whether II
be In documentary form AS introduced
on the examining trial. or be sworn to
by living witnesses, IL contrary to that
clause or the Bin of Rights, which
gives to every defendant the privilege
Of being confronted by his witnesses.
II is also thought that the court will
hold that the same clause Is In conflict
with the statute permitting the intro
QuCtlOn as testimony VI th' uNfSsAAipi4A
OF witnesses who reside outside the
state.
This opinion, II rendered as expected,
will work considerable change In Texas
criminal procedure. us 1t has heretofore
bcen the rule. upheld by the statutes.
that the testimony on examining trials
of wftnesscss who have sinccd died was
admissible before jury.
