to take the testimony of the preliminary
hearing, was to go away and return about
January Goth.
states attorney Brown said he would ar

then remanded Farmer to jail to await
the hearing.

after 10 o'clock by States Attorney r.. Il.
Brown, by whom it was called. lnmedi-
ately on its being called to order, w. L.
Burnap arose and moved an adjournment
of the nesting. This very unusual action
at once provoked discussion among the
members of the bar present which was
not Of a character pertinent for publica-
tiCn. Outside two or three OF those pres
ent, the motion of Mr.. Burnap was appa-
rently looked upon as highly inappropri-
ate That Mr.. Burnap himself was per-
haps ashamed of it was shown by his re
quest Just previous to the meeting to the
effect that the reporters. who were pres
emit be asked to withdraw. The discus
sion drew out a statement from Mr..
Hards colleague, Judge r. f. Wales. ard
this with other statements led Mr. Burnap
at length to withdraw his motion, when
the business of thu meeting proceeded as
is Gus .omary at meetings called for SIM
liar purpose.
