"As regards the first question, that
is being dealt with by the Army Couns

THOMPSON WINS
FIRST SKIRMISH
Federal Court Judge
Throws Out Indictment
Found by Grand Jury.
tRy Associated PresN

PITTsBURG, May S.-Judge Chas.
p. Orr in Federal court today sustain
ed the motion of the defense in the
trial Of j. V. Thompson, charged with
breaking the banking laws and threw
out the indictment found by the grand
Jury. The government Immediately
asked for a recess until 1880 o'clock
in order that it might consider an ap.
peal to the United States Supreme
Court.
The trial which began Yesterday
was on two indictments, one found by
a grand jury in Pittsburgh and the
other by the Erie grand jury. Counsel
for Thompson hold for the dismissal
OF the indictments on the grounds that
they were not based on the charges be-
fore the Federal commissioner, which,
it was declared, deprived Thompson
OF his right to be faced by his accusers.
All the indictments had to do with
the failure of the First National Bank
OF Uniontown Of which Thompson was
president.
When court reconvened this after.
noon the government asked for post.
ponement OF the trail. which was taken
to mean that an appeal would be made
to the higher court. The court grant.
ed the request.
