owing to the sudden death OF his
mother-In-law. Judge zones dld not re-
convene the court at o CLOCK bul Leie-
pnoned the Marshal TO adjourn the court
Until Monday morLIng at 10 O'CLOCK.
Later in the afternoon. however, Judge
Jones went to his office TO attend to some
nacegaarV did
transact any business. except some for
mallt.es as to the continuance OF the
Young case, and to give some directions
about the grand jury. He announced
to the court officials that he would not
transact any business whatever. but he
felt 1t his duty to be in court q few
minutes this morning at 1880 o'clock to
receive the final report OF the grand jury.
and to discharge the two petit juries,
that they might not be detained in Mont
gomery until Monday.
The motion to continue the Young case
was made In chambers and by consent
OF the District Attorney the order Of
continuance was made.
A vigorous fight had been waged on
the indictment in the Young case since
Tuesday when 1t was called for trial and
the continuance caused some surprise.
Lawyers for Colonel Young moved to
quash the indictment on the ground of
1oinder and were oVerruled by Judge
Jones who said as a matter Of law the
Indictment was good. AS a matter Of
grace Judge Jones said. and to avoid
embarrassing the defendant he would
exercise discretionary power and compel
the government to elect one transaction
in the Indictment upon which 1t would
proceed.
The District Attorney elected to make
the charge false entry Of warrants with
intent to deceive. Additional demurrers
were fled by lawyers for Colonel Young,
but the case was suddenly terminated
so far as this term of court Is concerned
by an order OF continuance.
District Attorney Reese declined to dis
cuss the case. but 1t is known that he re-
ceived advices from Washington to agree
TO a continuance If the motion was made
by the defendant and providing the In.
terest of the government would not be
prejudiced by such procedure. 1t was
said yesterday that Observation-Disclosures
in Washington had requested the Attor-
ney General to allow the case to be con-
tinued.
Hon. s. H. Dent, Jr., Solicitor of the
City Court of Montgomery, who was EN-.
ployed as one of counsel for Colonel
Young said that the indictment against
Colonel Young had been properly drawn
according to the rigid rules of law and
that the case had not been con inued
through any failure on the part of the
District Attorney to perform his duty.
Colonel Young Is still in Montgomery.
The case against him Will probably come
up In the Federal Court at the MAY
term.
