In the case of Moyer, Heywood and Pettibone, Judge Wood at Caldwell today overruled the motion made by the defense to dismiss the case. The motion was based on the long delay in the trial. Since the cases were ready for trial two terms have passed and the defense conten ded that the accused men are entitled to liberty on the ground that these two terms have passed since their ar raignment Attorney Richardson for the defense argued that the statutes of the United States do not act as a bar In such cases, pending the deter mination of the appeal n habeas cor pus proceedings. He held it only pro hibited the execution of any sentence that might be imposed. Senator Borah for the state, took the ground that the statute as sonstltuted by the Supreme Court prohibited the state court from proceeding In any manner. In overruling the motion Judge Wood said he was not called on to decide whether the federal sta tute raised bar to proceeding whle habeas corpus proceedings are pend ing. The afternoon was taken up wth a motion for change of venue. The defense said they had hundreds of affi davits in support of the motion.
