IGNORANCE IS Bliss.

Only one marriage license was granted
nv the clerk Of the Hastings Court yes
terday. Native born virginians have an
aversion to getting license on Friday.
and as q general rule the clerk Of the
court gets a rest on that day, so far as
Issuing marriage licenses are concerned.
However, there was an application yes
terday by couple who do not know and
do not care of the Virginia superstition.
Gabriel Zox and Rene Bloom wore
licensed to marry. They are natives of
Russia, and have not lived in this coun-
try quite long enough to know about the
Friday superstition. and they are prob
ably Just as happy as any native who
Skipped Friday.

A BAD DAY f0R
GAYN0R- 6REENE
Two Opinions Delivered Yester-

Under Indictment.
EVERY INCH is CONTESTED
Counsel for Prisoners Are Letting
No Advantage to Clients
Slip By.
EVERY INCH is CONTESTED
{By Associated press,)

SAVANNAH, GA, January l2-There
were two important developments in the
trial of the Gaynor-Greene case to-day.
One OF these was the decision OF Judge
Speer on the pleas of defendants to the
Jurisdiction OF the court. and the other
the order of the court overrullng the de-
murrers Of the defendants to indictment
three hundred and seventy-ons.
The grounds OF the demurrer were mum.
erous, the most important being that the
Indictment was not found within three
years after the commission OF the alleged
offense; that II failed to Bpecify how
the defendants had absented themselves
from the Jurisdiction OF the court when
they were in Now York; that the indict-
mcnt alleged that the work In the har-
Dor did not come UP to the specifications,
but did not particularize wherein 1t was
inferior; and that the statute upon which
the indictment was predicatsd was un-
constitutional in that 1t made penal a
fraud against the United States.
Judge Speer, In the Federal Court to-
day, Immediately on its convening. read
his opinion upon the plea Of counsel for
Greene and Gaynor to the Jurisdiction of
the court. This opinion was adverse to
the defendants whose petition. that they
be discharged from custody. was denied.
Fighting at Every Turn.
Colonel Meldrim. of counsel for the de-
Tense, excepted to the opinion OF the
court. He followed with an argument
upon a demurrer to indictment No. 81
upon the chief ground that 1t was not
specific In Its charge that the defendants
had sWindled tho government, failing to
