Before Judge Hervey, in the Circuit
Court, yesterday, arguments We're heard
for writ of error in the cases Of Clar-
ence Johnson and Hugh Devinney, con-
victed in the Criminal Court of the
murder of Charles Mclaughlin, on
Market street, near the creek bridge,
fourteen months ago, and at the con-
clusion of the addresses by counsel the
matter was taken under advisement.
The argument on behalf of the pris-
oners was opened by S. o. Boyce, of
counsel for defense, who followed the
reading of the petition for the writ
with an enumeration of the causes re-
lied upon by defense. One of the main
points elaborated upon was the refusal
of the Criminal Court to grant con-
tinuaIice to defense upon the shcAFing
of the absence of Annie Riley, claimed
to be material witness for the pris-
oners, and the claim was made that the
defense were forced into a trial for
which they were not completely pre-
pared. Mr.. Boyce addressed the Court
at great length, going over much of the
evidence with careful detail, but in this
regard was told to confine himself to
the legal points of the case, as the rec
ord of the testimony would show for
itself. Mr. Boyce cited many author
tiles in the course of the discussion,
and is conceded to have made a strong
argument.
Prosecuting Attorney Meyers follow
ed for the State, who presented the
views of the prosecution in very care
full and earnest manner. One material
point touched upon by Mr.. Meyer was
the address of Hon. John A. Howard,
for the State, at the trial, and most of
which was taken down at the request
of Captain Dovener, of counsel for de-
the fact that there was no means Of
telling how much of this address was
called forth by remarks of counsel for
the prisoners, which addresses were not
reported. Mr.. Meyers concluded about
a quarter of three o'clock, and was fol-
lowed by Captain Dovener, for the de-
Tense, who closed the argument. Mr.
Howard did not address the Court
The arguments attracted very con-
siderable amount of attention, and
there were quite a number of people
in the court room.

must be said that the character of

NANCE" which he sustained at the
Opera House last evening, afforded
abundant opportunities for the display
of his histronic ability, 1t certainly
pleased the audience, two enthusiastic
curtain calls being evidence of that fact.
The play was constructed by Mir. j. c.
Nugent, and tells a simple story, with
out any straining after dramatic effect
and with the charming favor of rural
Indiana life pervading every line and
every scene and situation. 1T is al
radical departure for Mr. Downing. yet
! he should meet with success in his new
venture. The play is admirably cast,
the comedy element being particularly
strong. Mr.. McHugh and Misses Moore
