John E. SEARLES' TRIAL.
The Case Of Sugar Trust Secretary Goes Over
Till Next Tuesday.

Washington, May 2S.-The trial of
John f. SearIes, secretary of the Ameri-
can Sugar Refining Company, followed
that Of President Havemeyer, before
Judge Bradley in criminal court No l,
today.
Judge Bradleys decision, yesterday,
which threw the case against MIR.
Havemeyer out of court, robbed the
Searles trial of much of its interest,
despite the assertion of District At
torney Davis that the cases were not
analogous and that the contention set
up by the defence in the Havemeyer
case. upon which the judge ordered a
/ verdict of acquittal returned. would
not hold in the Searles case. The gem
eral belief was that the main question
as to pertinency would be raised by the
defence in this case and that the judge
would be required to rule on that ques-
ton before the defence opened.
The Indictment found against Mr..
Searles was very similar to the one
found against Mr.. Havemeyer. except
that the questions asked of Mr.. Searles
were somewhat different The same
lawyers who appeared for Mr.. Have
meyer had charge of Mr.. Searles' de-
fence. Mr.. Havemeyer sat by Mr..
Searles side in the rear of the table
occupied by his counsel. Before the
trial began District Attorney Davis,
who conducted the case for the gov
eminent, asked that in the event the
trial of the case was not concluded, to-
day, although he said he saw no rea-
scon why it should be- that it be adj
journed until Tuesday. He gave as a
reason important engagements of the
counsel for the defence. To this Judge
Bradley agreed.
None of the 10 talesmen We're chal-
/ lenged but one was excused. The in
difference of the defendants counsel to
the composition of the jury seemed to
indicate their confidence that the case
eventually would be taken out of the
hands of the jury as was that of Mr.
Havemeyer. At 11.4O the government
rested its case and the defence moved
that the jury be instructed to bring in
a verdict of acquittal on three grounds.
