An Astounding Doctrine.
Herbert II. Ward, of counsel for de.
fense, differed with Attorney General
White. Addressing the magistrate Mr..
Ward said:
1.-THE object OF preliminary hearing
is to bring out all the facts in the case SO
Won NAV be able, with all the pertinent
evidence, to ascertain whether there is
probable cause. The learned attorney
generals argument is an astounding doc
trine never stated by any attorney In
Delaware.
"With due Difference to the Attorney
General, | say it is absurd. Suppose
YOU show that the witness is not credl. |
BILE; show that DIR. Moore was not at the
place; notwith hstanding this Mr.. White |
saws YOU can hold the defendant. The
defense must have the fullest scope OF
cross-examination. Mr.. White limits
cross examination in way the courts
have never limited it,"
Answering MIR. Ward the Attorney
General remarked that "Mr. Ward has
not studied criminal law as | have. II
you are to determine this case from its
inception what is the use OF grand lurles
and judges"
Mr.. Hayes said the new Constitution
provides for an examination and holding
to bail. Ii both sides are not heard,
then the hearing does not constitute an
examination. Magistrate Cooper SAID he
felt like taking little wider range than
usual in this case because of its peculiar
ity, and SO Gregory was allowed to an
5 wer the question. He stated that he
had rot consulted with any one else.

"Why didn't you try to trap any
Regular Repubicans?' a. ked Magistrate
Cooper. II didn't know where to work
on them
.Because they was SO few Of them?o
asked MIR. Cooper. Yes, sill" replied
Gregory.
