Spaan and Cassius McMulln appearing for the State, but Judge Downey held that they were properly in the case by appointment, of the court. ,The attorneys for the defendants then filed a motion for the discharge of the defendants. This' motion was vigorously opposed by Mr. Spaan, and although ably prented by defendants' counsel. Marcu3 Sulzer and Mr. Shay, was overruled. Mr. Shay basal his motiou on the action of the State in breaking up the jury which had bem accepted as the Jury to try these defendants by excusing Oscar Jones,, one of the twelve jurymen.

He cited many authorities to sustain his view, and the argument lasted till late in the afternoon.
