Defense of Col. Sutton.

In anticipation of Elliott G. Steven
sons opening address TO the jury in be-
half of Col. Sutton there was large
audience present when circuit court
convened on the afternoon of the 9TH.
Capt Atkinson and Juror Brown had
both recovered sufficiently to be in
court, and it is not anticipated that
there will be any further delay on ac-
count of either Mrs. Atkinson was
with her husband and remained through
the afternoon session. In his address
to the jury Attorney Stevenson out
lined the defense of his client. He
made a most powerful address, show
ing in detail where Sutton obtained
that IS, 200. The story of Sutton's life
was carefully reviewed, and at the con-
clusion of Mr.. Stevenson's address
Capt. Atkinson moved that the respon-
dent be discharged because of techni-
cal Irregularities in the indictment and
other proceedings. This was over
ruled, and the case was adjourned for
the day to accommodate Fred A. Baker
to argue the motion for a new trial in
the Marsh case.

of the Mallory. line steamship pier at

daughter of Capt. Chas. Lochs, of the
barge Sherwood, was drowned. The
Mallory line pier was 200 feet long and

The Motion to 0uash Indictment Denied.
Judge West made very short work
of the request made by Capt. Atkinson
on the LIST for leave for Col. Sutton to
withdraw his plea for the purpose of
moving to quash the indictment because
of alleged invalidity in the drawing of
the grand jury. Judge West examined
the record to satisfy himself as to the
the entry concerning the plea, and then
emphatically stated permission to with
draw the plea for the purpose of NOV
ing to quash the indictment would not
be granted, and that he would not hear
the matter at this time. This matter
having been disposed of, the defense
presented its formal challenge to the
array of petit jurors drawn on April %.
This challenge was met by Prosecutor
futile with denial of the greater
number of the allegations contained in
the challenge, and with the claim that
the others were insufficient in law to
sustain the challenge.

Defense ouIzzing the Jury.

The question of the belief of the jury
men in the guilt or innocense of Gen.
Marsh was the point which the defense
in the Sutton case sought to solve on
the I'd. Considerable progress was
made, but it will be some time before
IL men satisfactory to the defense are
secured. The candidates for jury SER
vice were reduced to PC by the eXcus-
ing of two jurors, and there seems to
be only two Of the IL now under eX-
animation who will not be challenged
for cause, and the cause is that they
have impressions as to the guilt or in
nocense of-either White or Marsh. The
jurors seemed to know White snd
Marsh better than they do Sutton, and
only one did not know that White had
run away, and that one had heard
about it since he came to Lansing to
serve on the jury.

an hour on the afternoon of the 4th
IL men were secured with whom both
the prosecution and the attorneys for

Doing Nothing in the Indemnity Matter

The U. S. legation is doing nothing
in the indemnity matter which appar-
emily is now forming the subject of di-
rect communication between the Yildiz
Kiosk and the Turkish minister in
Washington. Rear Admiral Ahmed
Pasha, whom an imperial trade, issued
April 25, ordered to proceed to the u.
S. to study the construction of war
ships, has not left Constantinople. The
sultan has ordered the formation of a
committee to raise a fund for the re-
lief of the Indian famine victims. 1t
is thought that this will tend to neu-
tralize the effect of the recent arrests
and exile of members of the young
Turkish party.
