ST. Baptist Church.

Last Evening Marked the Beginning
of Thirtieth Year.
HIS LONG PASTORATE.
PASTORS REMINISCENT ADDRESS

There was a very pleasant assem-
blage i'm the auditorium of the Sunday
school building of the Cranston Street
Baptist church last evening, the mem
bers of the church and many others
having gathered to express their esteem
for their beloved pastor. Rev. Moses H..
Bixby, ID. D.. who began the 30th year
Of his pastorate.
The affair, which was under the aus
pices Of the social committee of the
Sunday school, took the form of a re-
ception to DR.. Bixby. who extended a
hearty greeting TO the hundreds of per-
sons who shook hands with him, and
these were not confined TO the mem
bers of his congregation. but included
many friends from other denomina-
tions, some of them being local pastors
of long standing.
The large room was prettily deco
rated, and on the west side was a small
platform surrounded with palms and
other exotics. and here stood Dr. Bixby,
a constant stream of people passed be-
fore him, extending hearty congratula-
tions for the many years of successful
work that he has seen, and wishing him
as many more. DIR. Bixby was assisted
in receiving his many friends by Rev.
+. Il. Pullen, pastor Pilgrim Congrega-
tional church; Rev. G. T.. Cate, pastor
Roger Williams Free Baptist church.
and Rev. G. III. Ever. pastor Cranston

IL was a particularly happy event for
the members of the church. and espe-
cially for DR.. Bisby, who has been pas
tor of the church for 20 consecutive
years. In September. 1869. DR.. Bixby,
then a missionary from Burmah, on
sick leave. bought the land on which
the original church was erected, at his
own risk, begging the money for the
purpose, and the church was organized
i'm 1870. From that time the church has
grown, and today II numbers over 700
members. In 1898 the new granite
church adjoining the old building was
completed and dedicated, all OF which
was due TO the untiring and faithful
work OF Dr. Bixby.
The auditorium presented a very at
tractive scene last evening. as many
of the gentlemen were i'm evening dress.
while large number of the ladies were
arrayed in very handsome gowns Dur
ing the time of the reception proper
the Talma ladies orchestra, under the
direction OF Miss Sadie Bissell gave
most pleasing concert, and animated
conversation filed the room.

The supreme court yesterday handed
down an opinion in the case of the
state of Utah against Joseph Z.
Crooks. The opinion, which was writ
ten by Justice Miner and concurred in
by Chief Justice Zane and Justice
Bartch reverses the lower court and
remands the case with instructions TO
vacate and set aside the verdict and
Judgment and to discharge the de-
PENDANT
The defendant was convicted IN the
district court at Provo of procuring a
criminal operation, miscarriage, upon
Rachel Davis, and was sentenced 10
six years Imprisonment in the state
prison.
1t appeared from the record that
Crooks had a preliminary hearing be-
fore Justice De MOisey and was held
for trial in the district court An in
formation was duly filed. On Oct. 16,
1896, the defendant filed his demurrer
to the information upon the grounds
that the facts shown therein did not
constitute a public offense and it did
not conform to the requirements of
sections $50 and Isl of the code of
criminal procedure, in that il was not
direct and certain in its charges
Judge Hatch sustained the demurrer
and ordered that the defendant be
discharged. but did not direct that an
other information be filed against the
accused or that the case be result
mitted to the grand jury. However,
on June %, 1897, another information
was filed reciting that the defendant
had had a preliminary examination
before Justice Page and was held for
trial. He was put on trial on the new
information charging the same Offense
as in the former one. He pleaded
former acquittal, relying on the fact
that his demurrer to the first infor-
nation had been sustained and that
the judge had not directed that a new
information be filed. BY instructions
of the court the jury found against the
defendant on his plea of former ac-
Quittal and he was convicted of the
crime.
The supreme court held that where
an information was filed against the
accused and a demurrer thereto sus-
tanned and the court made no order
requiring the case to be submitted to
another grand jury or that another
information be filed. but ordered the
accused TO be discharged and where
another examination was had and an
other information filed against the ac-
cused for the same Offense. to which
he interposed a plea of former &C
quittal. the plea being sustained by
proof. was a bar to another prosecu-
ton for the same offense and the court
should so have instructed the jury.
1t is manifest, says the opinion. that
if a new trial be granted the record
OF the proceedings below would re-
main unchanged and a verdict of ac-
quittal upon a plea Of former acquittal
would follow. The court therefore
ordered the defendant discharged and
the verdict and Judgment set aside.
