If .the defendants in the land, fraud

the United States court of appeal, al
leging defects in ths Indictments, and if
the contention should be sustained they
would then go free. But such a method
of defense would be generally regarded
ss an admission ' of all the essential

plea of guilty in the hops 01 escaping py
It la expected that When Mr. Heney
returna to Portland at the, end of thla

defendants to plead to the Indictments
without further toes of time. They may
demur to ths Insufficiency of ' the Jn
