gan yesterday before Judge Waddill,

End was characterized by a sharp as
sault upon Weinsteins indictment by
the defendants lawyer, II. NJ. Smith,
Jr Contrary to expectation, the trial
did not make much Roadway on ac-
count of the stiff preliminary fight
made to prove the indictment defec-
tive. Judge Waddill adjourned court
ut o'clock. when argument on the
demurrer was concluded, without any
testimony having been taken The

murrer this morning, and the lawyers
VIII proceed at once with the evidence
Regarding delays in litigation, Judge
Waddill took occasion yesterday to say
from the bench that he proposed to
bring an end to dilatory tactics in his
court. Without making personal re-
ference. the court said:
1T Is the spirit OF the new equity
rules promulgated by the Supreme
Court that chancery matters should be
concluded Mt single term of court
l'NPooS " Hiti>c tHlS Tuie apply par
, ticularly to criminal proceedings where
long delays are inadvisable. This case
should have >been tried at the last
term"
Delay Probable.
Attorney Smith made no effort ia
secure continuance of the case yes
tcrday. but fought hard to have the
indictment dismissed as faulty. Mr.
Smiths son. Assistant District Attor-
ney Hiram NJ. Smith, sat at the prose
cution table to help District Attorney
Groner conduct the case for the gov
eminent.
| The defense attacked the indictmen,
on all four counts laying particular
! emphasis on the alleged weakness OF
the first, third and fourth counts. Mr.
Smith argued that the indictment
should be dismissed because OF the
failure in the first count to name the
court in which the bankruptcy pro
cccdings were instituted by Nathan
| Weinsteln. Should the court Quash
/ this indictment, IT is probable that
! Weinstein's trial will be postponed un-
