Files Demurrers To TB' NH Motions To Dismiss Seek Dismissal Os Criminal Charges Demurrers to the motions for dismissal of criminal complaints against Leroy C. Sprunger, charged with entry to commit a felony, and Dorothy Bryant, charged with forgery, were filed in Adams circuit court Friday afternoon. The demurrers were filed by prosecuting attorney Lewis L. Smith against the motions to dismiss, which were filed by Hubert R. McClenahan, attorney for both •defendants. Both the demurrers and the motions to dismiss were submitted to Judge Myles Parrish in Friday’s hearing and were taken under advisement. McClenahan is seeking the dismissals on the grounds that prosecution has been delayed for more than three terms df court and that the delay was not caused by the defendants. Prosecutor Smith, in his argument against the motions, pointed out that trial could not be scheduled until pleas were entered by the defendants and that no plea had been entered in either case. He alleged that the defense did ask for additional time to enter a plea even though there is no formal record of this request. Prosecutor Stoith also asked that the court rule that evidence other than what is found in the court record is admissable, explaining that this was necessary to show why prosecution of the two cases had not been pressed. His motion requesting this was overruled by Judge Parrish for the reason that the court could speak only through its records. — . i
