III Judge Miller's Argument.
:,
terday and ably discussed all the points ''s5
~ already gone over in this long drawn out
legal fight. His contention was4sthat II
n would be unfair and an#act In Violation
y Of the Constitution and the Bill of rig
u ia remove rinsley 4 or any Of the other
indicted fertilizer men to the Md Idle Dis
/ trict OF Tennessee, where they were IL
81 piicted for spiracy In restraint OF traae !,
for trial under that sindctment. That Is, 7
would be unfair to sand them there there a.
prisoners to stand trial without 3 first
hearing at least some Of tho evidence
IS against them, and some Of the evidence
they may be a1ola to offer In defence
Il. in order that this court may be a blc %
4 determine forfftself .the degree OF prob
a able guilt Instead OF following blindly
1.-The certified copy OF tho Indictment found
h in the court OF the Middle District \ OF
Tennessee Judge Miller quoted literally
from rendered opinions and from the law
hooks, and ably argMN their bearings
upon this case. He was at al times
H earnest and forceful In his manner ana
In his language. but after oil, his argu.
n nent was, In q sense, O repetition OF
much that has already been said In this
case and the learned lawyer never at-
tempted to get beyond the original COZ
n tention that T'insley OF als cannot Pc
legally removed to Tennessee for trial
until they have had fair chance to SHOW
by testimony that the allegations IN the
yolumnous Indictment that was FOUND
n rs against them In Tennessee are not true,
K ss8 In short, the whole agreement was
X plea for the opening of a way to intro
duce tho testimony for the courts guild
ance. 81
Did Not Commit Offenses.
Incidentally Judge Miller claimed the
& defense could. If permitted, prove by at
torneys for the government. who took
a As down tho evidence before the grand jury
which found the indictments, that Mr.,
Tinsley and others did not commit the
offenses ms alleged, In the district In
which the indictment was found. %
5s AT the afternoon session Assistant At
torney General Sanford replied briefly
totJudge Miller, and was followed by Mr.
6yertress for the defense, who made ur
E able argument, speaking until $50 whc,
court adjourned to 10 o'clock this morn.
ing Mr.. Sanford win open the discus
sion this morning.
Al the adjournment Of the court las
evening Mr., Tlnsley was recognized b!
X Judge Golf in tho sum OF sS,oN for hi
appearance, and SO he Is no longer Il
