by counsel for Roland B. Molfneux for
the dismissal of the indictment. charging
him with the murder of Mrs. Katherine
]. Adams, came up before Judge McMa-
hon in the Court of General Sessions to-
day. - Z
An application for an adjournment of
the argument, made by Assistant Dis
trict Attorney Garvan, was denied, the
Court saying that the defendants coun-
sci might present their argument and
that the District Attorney could then be
given time in which to prepare his reply.
Ex-Governor Black OF. counsel for Mol
ineux urged that this indictment be dis
missed because of Illegal evidence pre-
sented to the Grand Jury which found
the Indictment and also on the ground
that the Indictment was found on insult
ficient evidence.
AT the afternoon session Judge MeMa-
hon said the argument had been post
poned for one week. Ex-Governor Black
protested, saying the defendant had been
IN: prison for three years and that his
case SHOULD not be handled about like an
ordinary matter Judge Mcmahon re-
piled that no injustice would be done the
defendant by the adjournment and he
then set the hearing for November z
