tage of Technically.

Omaha, Jan. 4.-The trial of United
States Senator Charles Dietrich charg-
ed with conspiracy to violate the law
by an alleged agreement with Postmas-
ter Jacob Fisher, of Hastings, when
the latter paid a sum of money for his
appointment, began today in the fed
eral court. The court room was crowd
ed, and within the rail were seated half
a hundred lawyers.
Senator Dietrich, with his counsel,
General John Gown and J. r. Batty.
sat at a table opposite District Attor-
ney Summers and his assistant, John
4. Rush. When the case was called
the first matter brought to the atten-
tion of the court was a demurrer, in
which counsel for the senator attacks
the sufficiency of the Indictment
charging conspiracy with Postmaster
Fisher to violate section 1871 of the re-
viSed statutes. The demurrer alleges
the insuff1ciency of law in the indict-
ment, a misjoinder and merging of the
conspiracy count with the original
charge.
This is the first technicaIity to be ta-
ken advantage of by the defense, and
General Gown in addition TO demssr-
ring to the conspiracy indict&1ent, an
nounced the wish of SenatofA Dietrich
to go to trial on the Indictment charg-
ing direct violation of the law. There
are five counts in the demurrer, which
charge:
First, That the first count in the in
dictment does not sufficiently state, al
lege or charge crime, misdemeanor or
offense of conspiracy; second, that
there is a misjoinder of parties defend
ant to the indictment; third, that the
first count of the indictment does not
state, charge or set forth crime, mis-
demeanor or OffenSe against defense;
fourth, that in the first count, the pre-
tended conspiracy is merged in the al
legged completed act; and fifth, that
Senator Dietrich is ready for and de-
mands Immediate trial for the COM
pleted offense, to which he has been
arraigned and pleaded not guilty.
After a brief consultation between
Judges Munger and Vandeventer, the
latter announced that arguments on
the demurrer would be heard at once.
After an hours argument court took
the matter under advisement.
