Forenoon Session.

Judge o'Day spent all forenoon In an
effort to convince the jury that no crime
had been committed, lie declared the
indictment was deceive in that It had
failed to charge the necessary facts, lie
dwelt nt length on the fundamental law
that no man can be placed before his
peers on charge Of crime, without a
presentment by grand jury. This. said
the lawyer, IL a constitutional provision
and no man can be charged with crime
and tried for his liberty without such a
presentment. though all the Supreme
Judges, Circuit Judges and District
Judges In the Union wanted to try him
without IL.
Coming to the main point in his argu.
men, the Judge took the position that
the contracts alleged in the indictment
TO have been entered into between the
timber applicants and the bogus "Em-
mctsburg Of New Zealand Company"
are not contracts at all and hence no
crime could have been committed.
The company" represented by Miller,
said he, was no company at all; 1t did
not exist. How then could there be u
contract entered into between the appli.
cants and the company? If there was
no contract and no agreement could be
entered into, where had there been an
oiTense committed? How could perjury
have been committed where there was
nothing to commit perjury abouts

He emphasized, as did the Controller Of

the belief that the outlawed parliament
was neither representative nor capable
Of constructive work.
He spoke with special scorn Of the
leaders OF the constitutional democrats,
not attempting to conceal his impress
sion that the quasi respectability Of the
party was but a cover for insincerity,
and trucking with the worst element Of
the revolution. They did not honestly
believe in either a general appropriation
of land or in complete amnesty. Their

No Martyrdom For Parliament.

The premier stated that the members
of parliament, were not arrested for the
signing the Vibog manifesto, because
that would merely have conferred mild
and much desired martyrdom on them;
but he said they would be held respon-
sible for the slight attempt to preach
to their constituents seditious doctrines
such as refusal to pay taxes or to fur
nish recruits to the army. A decision
on the question Of general strike is
still hanging fire no word having been
received from the revolutionary leaders,
who again were in secret session tonight
In addition to other reasons, the condition
in the famine district is advanced as a
new argument against a new strike, as
the peasantry would resent the tying up
Of the railroads, upon which they are de-
pendent for grain to keep them from
starvation The ministry of railroads re-
ceived words today of several attempts
to destroy railroad bridges, 1t is be-
lieved that the radicals are resorting to
this means to force the issue.
The police are becoming more active
in breaking up meetings in the capitol.
