KING CASEDELAYED
ON TECHNICALITIES
Failure to Enter Order Proves
Ground for Continuance by tho
Hastings Court.

Through clever work on the part Of
hleSsrs. Hill Carter and Wy1nham r.
Meredith, counsel for ex-Alder1nan John
NJ. King. but purely on techncaitlcs, the
trial OF the case experienced another de-
lay yesterday, and the hearing went over
to the next term Of the Hastings Court
When the case was called there was a
large crowd of Interested citizens In the
court room, including many members of
the City Council and n number Of the old
Street Committeeman, colleagues OF Mr..
King. Among them were Councllmen
Curtis, Grimes, Pollock Whittet, Mills,
Glenn j. NJ. n. Allen and former Alder
man Mosby
MIR. King was probably the most dis
interested person hi tho ctrrt room. He
bore the air of q man who felt that he
would DO eXonerated. and smiled and
chatted villa his friends, many Of whom
shook his hand and wished him we'll.
Judge ]. M. Mullen presided in tho
place Of Judge Witt, who Is still con-
fined to his room. He was called upon
to rule upon several motions, and the re-
suit Of his ruling was that the case went
over to next term.
Tha first point raised was that the
grand jury which brought in the In
dictment was not a legal one in that It's
members We're not qualified voters under
tho Constitution. This point was prompt
ly overruled.
Then the point was raised that the
presence of Mr. John Winston. the ste
nographer. In the jury room, wass Illegal,
ana the proceedings Of that Jury were ac-
cordingly nun and void. This point was
also overruled, but Judge Mullen passed
upon 1t with some hesitancy, and left the
inference that he would further consider
that point before making q final ruling.
Tho next motion made ny the defense
was TO quash the vcnire.
The grounds upon which this point was
raised We're thar tho jurr had not been
properly chosen for the trial OF such q
case, In that the order OF tho court had
not been entered upon the record as pro-
vided by law.
This proved to have been tho case, and
Judge Mullen so held.
The result Is simply one Of delay. The
jury has been drawn for the next term,
but Commemorative Attorney Richard
son will ask Judge Ingram to sit for
| Judge Wit to-day. and he will ask him
to draw special jury for tho King case
and he will sec that the order Is entered
upon the record.
The cnso will be called again next Tues
day. the day after tho grand jury meets
and will be set for some day in February
The Commonwealth will introduce some
new evidence at the hearing, but what
may DO It's nature the commemorative
Attorney would not say except to men.
ton that the now witnesses would be
gentlemen connected with somo of the
local banks.

talk with him in regard to

The destruction OF 300. 900 pounds OF fine
