HAHN, J.
Heard upon defendant's amended motions for bills of particulars in the above entitled cases, the motions being identical and divided into nine specific requests.

The second and third requests have been granted.
For State: Charles P. Sisson, Attorney General.
For Defendants: Fitzgerald & Higgins.
The fourth was granted after modification. by the Court.
As to the fifth, sixth, seventh, eighth and ninth requests, they seem to be governed by the law as laid down in Sullivan vs. Waterman, 21 R.
