A MOTION
TO DISCHARGE
THEM.
Attorneys for Defence Ask
that the Respondents in
the Bell Denning Case be
Discharged on a Point of
Law.

The hearing in the Bell-Denning
arsen case was opened again this morn
iug in the police court. Richard y. iloar
who appeared for the state, told the
court that the witnesses had not showed
up this morning and that lie would offer
no more evidence at this time.
John W. Gordon then asked the court
that the prisoners be discharged for tw"
reasons. First, on the ground that the
state had not disclosed probable cause
and secondly that the charges against
the prisoners are not supported by eVl-
dence. He stated the warrant read that
Bell and Mrs. Dennin@ Wiifully and
maliciously SET fire 10 the house of Mrs.
S. }. Jones. N.r. Gordon argued that
person who is mortgagee, lessee, or
occupant of house in which he lives
cannot be charged with arson. He stat
ed that Bell was lessee of the house be-
fore the fire and Mrs. Denning was his
housc-keeper lie further stated to the
court that Bell was in Northticld at the
time and that the court could not hold
him. Mr.. l.oar for the state, then stated
that the court could not discharge them,
as the court is only an examining magis-
tratc to see if crime has been commit
ted ornot He stated that il WAS not u
question Of guilty or not guilty but
whether there is probable cause to bind
them over to the grand jury.
The Vermont statutes read that a
fpersol, VINO wiifuliy burns his own resi-
dence or amy other building shall be i'm
prsoned for life or a shorter period,
which is at the discretion of the court.
The hearing was adjourned until 1.3o
this afternoon.
LATER-Just as we 90 to press we
learn that Judge Barney has overruled
the motion for discharge.
