bur Today, and Were Finally
Assigned for Trial.

There were two rather important crimi-
nal cases down for trial in Judge wilburs

Ing them. The first was that OF state VS.
George Horton. and the second that OF
state VS.. John Nelson
Horton In under indictment for larceny
from the Gorham Manufacturing com
pany of many ounces OF silver Nelson is
charged with receiving the silver, knowing
IL TO have been stolen.
Horizons case was first called and Will
lard b. Tanner. his counsel. stated he had
a certificate sworn 20 by DR.. Chester TO
the effect that Horton was too sick 10
appear In court. The certificate wss
shown to Attorney General Stearns. who
said that owing TO the fact that the case
had been several timAs postponed, and
not doubling oounsers statements. he felt
obliged 10 ask the court 10 have a doc
tor sent 20 examine Horton.
Mr. Stearns said there was another case
depending on this one snd ne deemed Y
best 10 have q disinterestd doctors opin-
ion.
The court granted the attorney generals
request and directed that Dr. Charles
Peckham be sent to investigate.
Nelson's case was then called. and Mr.
Tanner. who is his counsel. said there
were two important witnesses out OF the
state and he could not tell when they
could be hear Mr.. Tanner wanted
chance 10 arrange with the attorney gen
eral for the trial at a time when these
men could be in the state.
Judge Wilbur asked where these wit
nesses lived. Mr.. Tanner replied that the
men livd In New York and were very i'm
portant witnesses.
Attorney General Stears said this case
had been postponed several times and he
would like TO try " and the Horton case.
Mr.. Stearns did not know how IL could
be arranged concerning the two witnesses
spoken OF by counsel
Mr.. Tanner thought II a bad idea 10
try the two cases about the same time, an
theS Jurors would be Influenced in the sec
ond case by what they heard in the first.
Mr. Stearns was willing TO set the cases
down for trial a week from tomorrow.
Mr. Tanner doubted If he could get his
important witnesses here. The men were
on a circuit, 40 to speak. being travelling
statesmen
Judge Wilbur asked II there was a
statute in New York as In Massachusetts.
compelling attendance of witnesses in an
other state Mr.. Tanner replied In the ar
firmative, but said that an the men were
on circuit, II would be hard to reach them.
Judge Wilbur suggested that II the men
were on circuit the officers be sent In
opposite directions after the witnesses.
Mr.. Tanner did not think the witnesses
would ever be reached II that course was
adopted. Judge Wilbur set both cases
down for a week from Monday next.
