David F. Lingane is on
Trial Before a Jury.
Motion OF Defence TO QuaSh
and Dismiss Overruled.
Cook Rehearses the Story of the
Assault With a Revolver.

"Are you ready, Mr.. Attorney General?'
vere the words with which Judge Wilbur
today opened the second trial CT David T.
Linganc, who was over "a year ago indicted
for an assault with q dangerous weapon,
To wit a pistol, on Osceola R. Cook, on
Dec. -, 1894 The case has been the sub
iect OF a great deal of discussion for the
reason that the prosecutions side Of the
case was submitted to more than one
grand Jury before an Indictment WAS
found, and then the sensational incidents
of the first trial which took place in April,
1896 and ended in disagreement OF the
jury.
The attorney general replied that be
was willing to begin thes contest and he
called Indictment y76; State VS.. David r.
Lingane and Mr. Lingane went to the
bar To plead Before he entered any plea,
his counsel, Charles a. Wilson, made a
motion TO quash the indictment and dis
miss the case.
This motion was rather surprise 10
the attorney general, but 1t was disposed
of without his taking any part in the dis
cussion.
MIR Wilson, in support OF his motion,
called attention 10 the fact that Cook had
been tried for an assault on the defendant
and found guilty, but no disposition made
by the case, and that Mr.. Lingane had
been once tried and the jury had failed TO
agree. Both these charges were founded
on the one affray, and as Mr.. Cook had
begun the assaulting, and "a jury had so
found the present defendant should be
discharged.
Judge Wilbur said TINT II was net
always justiflablc 10 carry the war into
Africa, nor II a man attacked another
with his fists would the party attacked be
justified in the use Of swords. His Honor
denied the motion of General Wilson and
the latter took an exception. Then Mr..
Lingane pleaded not guilty for the third
