The bill of particulars demanded by
the counsel for the defense at the pre-
vious session of the investigating com
mittee was not filed until Thursday,
and, II was contended by the defense,
that the one day interium was not sur
fcient time i'm which to prepare an
answer After hot argument 1t was
decided to give the defense until next
Wednesday night in which to make its
preparations and adjournment was
made until that time.
The defense made demand that sew
eral or the witnesses for the prosecu-
tion who were present should be held
under bail for their appearance at the
next session. This precipitated another
vigorously fought battle between the
contending lawyers, which almost cul'
minated in blows The demand was
granted and each of the witnesses was
required to furnish 500 bail
Thomas English, one of the men pre-
ferring the charges, offered himself as
bondsman, but he was not acceptable
to the defense and another surety had
to be secured.
1t was a very exciting session all
through and several times threatened
to break up i'm a row.
