MAY ESCAPE
EVEN TRIAL
tFrom Saturdays Advertiser,

VI ioii A7aAuAooJ . <AoNCh eioEht
There is a possibility that the al
legged murderer may escape trial for
the crime on a technicality. This
turns on a phrase that has been COM
monty used in indictments which, after
giving name to the accused. de-
scribes him further as one whose true
name is to the grand jury unknown"
Lately, on this account, an indict-
ment was quashed. Yesterday Judge
De Bolt sustained a demurrer to the
Indictment of Takada, charged with
murder in the first degree, on the
same ground. A. Perry and II. G.
Mddleditch. counsel assigned for The
defense, forthwith moved for the de-
fendant's discharge.
After some argument Judge De Bolt
reserved his ruling until o'clock this
morning, but Deputy Attorney General
Peters desired to be heard further and,
as he was going out of town. the mo-
tion was continued for argument un-
til o'clock Monday.

Lawyers are expensive. Sam Parker
is the latest authority on this point.
He was being cross-examined by At

yesterday afternoon in the $4,000 libel
suit Attorney Ballou has against him.
Mr.. Parker was asked if getting legis-
lation for a ditch franchise was not
expensive.
Yes" was the reply. "and so are
lawyers" Everybody laughed.
The case will probably go to the
jury early next week
