BOISE, March 18. 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. These
were made by persons living In the
county and all set forth that public:

fondants. The arguments of the mo-
