Jury No Instructed to Acquit.
WARRINGTON, June 1.-THE trial O, John
Shriver for alleged contumacy was resumed
this morning Judge Dittenhoefer added an.
other point to those made in his motion o.
Tuesday that the Judge instruct the jury 70
bring in verdict for the defence. He held thA.
there was no complete evidence to show ths,
the questions in tho indictment had ever be.a
put to the defendant or that he had refused 70
answer them.
District Attorney Davis carefully went ove,
the ground covered by Judge Dittenhoete.. and
replied to his arguments al length. In speaking
of the necessity Of summoning witness. touched
on yesterday by the court, Nj. Davis held that
while a subpoena WAS writ, and must -
in writing, summons might be verbal Il t1s
one summoned accepted it
At ll:15. while Mr.. Davis was in the middle
of his argument. Justice Bradley excused tie
jury until tomorrow morning. signifying That i.

cluded to-day he would take the question under
Judge Jere Wilson replied TO Mr.. Davis. Jucgs
tion as to whether or not Mr.. Shriver was prop
erly summoned. He closed his argument 8,
recess time and the court adjourned until 10
morrow.
1t is the general impression that should Jus
tce Bradley sustain the motion to dismiss tho
case 1t would bo done not on the points made BY
the defence but on the one which the Jutgt
himself had brought up. that the witness Lad
not been properly summoned.
