MR.. PEERY EXPLAINS
His Part In Dismissal of Charges
Against Young.


County Attorney ]. S. Peery yester-
day gave The Herald the following
statement of his part in the dismissal
of the charges against Egan, alias
Young:
In the statement of the escape of w.
E. Young, alias Ed Egan, the inference
might be drawn that l took a personal
interest in seeing that Egan was re-
leased. This inference would be wrong
and incorrect. The sentence, The Of
ficers We're urgent and asked that the
man be released that night, for spec
ial reason, which they did not care to
disclose" does not include me, for l
was not one of the officers who made
that l simply moved to have the in
dictment dismissed against Egan. 1
had been investigating the matter
closely for some time, and had written
Attorney General Bishop for an opin-
ion as to the procuring of II jurors,
and the opinion was not rendered.
Meantime, on motion of County At
torney King OF Utah county, Judge
Johnson had dismissed an information
on the same grounds, that is, on the
grounds that the offense was commit
ted in 1885, and the supreme court of
the United States held that these Of
lenses must be tried by a jury Of u,
and that a jury of II cannot be drawn
under the present law of Utah, except
in murder cases, SO the Egan charge
having been committed in 1895, and
Egan having been released on habeas
corpus, pursuant to the supreme court
decision, and the witnesses having
scattered some of them being out of
the state and the whereabouts of some
others being unknown, l moved to dis
miss the indictment.
