Andrew c. Gray aud Sanborn began ar
gument this morning on the demurrer

The first twenty five CO lnts Of tho indct-
ment are attacked on the grounds that
they are not sufficient In law, and that no
Is not bound by the law Of the land to an
swer the Same, 1t is Furthermore claimed
that the defendant is insufflciently in
iOlhiou VI hNbuio VI tlo Chul&c WAVu
which he will be charged.
The fourth charge contends that the In.
diotment does not set forth the offense
with which the defendant Is intended to
be charged with clearness or necessary
certainty to apprlse him of the crime with
which he stands charged"
The fifth clause Is somewhat o repetition
Of the fourth, claiming that the indict-
ment does not furnish Senator kenney
with such description of the charge
against him as will enable him to make
his defense, or to avail himself Of his oon-
victlon or acauittal as protection against
further prosecution for the same cause
Tho sixth clause relates to the court, and
states that the Indictment does not inform
the court of the facts alleged SO that 1t
may decide whether they are sufficient In
law to support u conviction, If one should
be secured.
In the seventh clause the defense claims
that tho Indictment consists Of statements
of conclusions Of law and not of facts,
constituting an accusation against the de-
fondant.
