Perari Case Resubmltted.
For the state the case Of A. Perard
is proving a decided "jonah" owing
to the inability to secure an indict-
ment that is satisfactory. When the
grand jury returned an amended in
dietment yesterday Colonel Raley,
for the defense. objected because 1t
did not contain names of all the wit
nesses examined by the grand jury
a year ago. This afternoon Judge
Bean allowed the motion and direct
ed that the case be resubmitted to
the grand jury.
Accordingly the grand jury was
summoned and the case again refer
red to that body Thereupon Colonel
Raley objected to the resubmission
on the ground that 1t had twice been
submitted to a grand jury. The OBJ
lection was not disposed Of at the
time.
Owing to the delay with the Per-
ard trial there has so far been no
work for the jurors summoned, other
than those on the grand jury. and
90 or more men have been present
for two days without avail. This
afternoon they were excused until 9
o'clock tomorrow morning.
