STEWART MAKES A KICK.
Yesterday morning before the SUI
preme Court commenced Judge Gear
heard the motion of T. McCants Stew
art to allow him access to the grand
jury minutes in the case of VIM. Davis, |
Indicted for assault. Before Stewart |
began his argument Judge Gear stated |
that he did not consider the motion |
favorably. as the grand jury secrets |
should be kept inviolate. Stewart re- |
marked that in such a case there was
no use for him to argue, and that it |
was very embarrassing to attorneys to |
have a case prejudged. The argument |
was ended by the adjournment of court. |
