Grand Jury.
The Defendant and Indicted Alder.
men Thereupon Enter Pleas
Of Not Guilty.

! Norton M. Cross, attorney for
George F. Moulton, indicted for offer
ing bride to. Alderman Fred M. Pow
ers to-day outlined the line of attack
to be pursued by the defense in the
new .aldermanic bribery cases. Mr..
Cross moved to set aside the Moulton
Indictment on, two grounds. He con-
tended: .:ss>-,.s $gs.f4 5..,s
] -First-That the. grand jury which re-
turned the. indictment was not legal In
that it was drawn by the judges Of the
district court under the law Of 1899, which
is unconstitutional because it is special
legislation. ~, :
Second-That if the grand jury was le-
gally drawn there was at time a
deficiency therein and Judge Pond there
fore had no authority for issuing a spe-
cial venire of three men and these three
men, We're not legally members Of the jury
and indictments drawn while they were
present are Illegal T. s4a'~- ~'-.E:3 q.
The first contention of the defense
is an old one and was not urged at
any length. Great stress was, how
ever, laid upon the alleged illegality
of the special venire ordered by Judge
Pond. Supreme court decisions were
cited to sustain this contention. The
county attorney had not been served
with copy of the, motion to set aside
the indictment until this morning, but
Judge Pond stated that no further
argument was necessary. He prompt
ly denied the motion.
The same point was raised in a mo-
ton to set aside the indictment against
Alderman Claus Mumm, Peter Nielsen
and Former Alderman John Sibley.
! Judge Pond overruled this as he had
the previous motion, and all the de-
PENDANTS made exceptions and entered
pleas of not guilty. After consider
able argument" for an early trial the
| Moulton, Mumm, Nelson and Sibley
cases were all continued over the
term. They will probably be tried
| early in November. : ="
