The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1899-12-21

There was a good sized throng of
Utah lawyers at the United States
court room when Judge Marshall took
the bench at 10 o'clock yesterday morn
ing. They had come ON cases in which
they We're interested, and there was
lively business until almost o'clock in
the afternoon.
The court did much business in set
ting cases, hearing motions and de-
murrers and calling the United States
jurors, grand and petit There We're
many motions heard, and many argu-
ments made by various lawyers. Most
of the courts time was consumed in
listening to the arguments of Attorneys
w. A Lee and Z. B. Critchlow in the
case of William Levy VS.. A. w. Nc
Cune.
Mr.. Lee, who is the attorney for Levy,
moved that Mr.. McCune be ordered by
the court to appear and testify before
United States Commissioner Twomey.
Some weeks ago Mr.. McCune had been
summoned to make a deposition before
the commissioner, and he had disre-
garded it. Mr.. Lee undertook to force
him by an order of the United States
court But Judge Marshall didn't hold
Jury Lists Out.
The grand Jurors, twenty-three in
number. who were drawn to appear on
January 8, are as follows:
]. P. Mahan, H. d. FulSom. Thomas
V. Williams. George Mullett, w E. Col
ton, John T. Williams, NJ. W. Buck,

Deputy United States Marshal l. H
Smythe wore a pleased and contented
smile when he saw these lists, for he
it is that must reach the men and sub
poena them for appearance on Janu-
airy g. The fact that most of them live
in Salt Lake and the Salt Lake valley
makes his task much easier than if
the jurors lived in various and remote
parts of the state. There viii be no
cold stage rides over bleak and windy
deserts through clouds of snow.
