PRISONERS TRY AGAIN
TO HAVE BONDS REDUCED.
The opening of the Snyder case was de-
layed yesterday morning by the application
10 Judge Ryan for writ OF habeas corpus
to release Tamblyn. Helms. Schumacher
and SchnettIer. who are still in jail on brib-
cry charges. Being refused this writ by
Judge Valiant OF the Supreme Court on the
ground that application must be made be-
fore Circuit Judge in the district in which
the indictment was filed, John A. Gernez
filed the application before Judge Ryan in
compliance with that ruling. The latter
took the matter under advisement.
The Snyder trial must be ended by Satur-
day. Beginning again at o'clock to-day.
selecting the jury Will occupy considerable
time The meat of the evidence can hardly
be reached before tomorrow. Further de-
lays are not probable. The defense cannot
move for a change of venue. as no notice of
such an intention has been given. Effort
can be made to disqualify Judge Ryan This
would either take the case into Judge
Douglass court or out Of the city.
The June Grand Jury must adjourn Satur-
day at the latest. Its work must be COM
pleted within this time. As the lists OF
witnesses are long on both sides in the
pending trial. II follows that the case will
continue ever several days. and night ses-
sions are expected.
