The three men were taken TO the District At

eral Sessions. where Recorder Goff admitted
them TO bail i'll the sum of S500 which was fur
nished. They will have to present themselves 20
a police magistrate in Herkimer County within
a reasonable time.
District Attorney Ward presented the matter
to the Herkimer County Grand jury on Mon
day, and the next day the first of several IN
dictments handed up. 1t is alleged that
some OF the papers have published reports that
have held Justice Devenderf, his court, the ad-
ministration of justice in Herkimer County and
the people of the county up to unmerted dis
grace and ridicule wherever the trial has been
discussed
Justice Devenderf. who presided at the trial,
waxed both indignant and sarcastic in talking
about the matter This is my first experience
with such things" he said. Some of the
stories sent out from Her&mer during the trial
were an outrage TO public deCency- l could
late perhaps n dozen stories that had truth
in them at ALL If the people who read news
papers demand such stories. why don't they
write them without any pretencC of their being
true? Why don't they have the President as
sassinated every day? Why set some
ne ewspapers aside licensed publish things
that are not true? Then people would know
what they are getting.
