failed to apeclfy with, exaxtnaaa-tha
ial.lalms for tha expedition of which
feea were paid; that the description of
the clalma waa defective in that abbre
viations were uaed; and that tha Indict
ment waa too uncertain to form 'a bar
to a ' future second Indictment for the
e.me offense.' All of theaa objections
were declared by Judge De Haven thla
