ruled the motion made by the defense
to dismiss the case. The motion was
based on the long delay in the trial.
Since the cases were ready for trial,
two terms of court have passed, one
of which was in December, and the
defense contended that the accused
we're entitled to their liberty on the
ground that two terms had passed
since they were arraigned. +. +.
Richardson, for the defense, made an
argument based ON the theory that
the statutes of the United State do
not act as a bar in such case, pend
ing the determination of an appeal
in habeas corpus proceedings. He
held it only prohibited any execution
of sentence that might be imposed.
In reply to an inquiry from Senator
Borah that If the men had been con-
victed and the supreme court had
thereafter decided the appeal in their
favor the verdict would have been set
aside, MIR. Richardson said that was
true. Senator Borah took the ground
that the statute as construed by the
