was brought from the penitentiary and into the presence of the third district court chief justice hunter occupied the bench the prosecution was represented by jas H beatty esq and the defense by E D hoge esq A and H F williams owing to the absence of important witnesses for the defense his counsel asked for fon a postponement until the witnesses could be obtained the request was resisted by the prosecution as the tho jurors were all in court and all but one or two witnesses for the prosecution prose ution present they announced n their desire to proceed with lie the case at once the empanelling panelling em of the jury could take place and in the meantime attachments could issue for such witnesses as had failed to respond to their subpoenas they did not think a continuance should be bey granted judge ud ranted a hoge for the defense replied that they did not desire a continuance on the contrary were as anxious as the other side could possibly be that the case go ahead immediately but to eis els put rut ut the prisoner upon his trial with his witnesses absent would be doing him an injustice and it was a fundamental da rule in n cases of this character that every possible advantage should be given to the prisoner several of his witnesses had failed to answer to the subpoenas served upon them consequently they desired a brief postponement in order to get their witnesses or else have time to show the advisability of a further continuance judge hunter then granted a postponement till to tomorrow morrow morning mornings and ordered that attachments issue for
