The attorneys for Sidney Bell, the highwayman, now serving a sixty-year term at the State prison atFolsom, have filed a brief in the Supreme Court,, which is the first step toward securing Bell's release. The grounds taken are that the indictments on which Bell was anility were not good, having been al lowed to lapse and the cases to drop from the calendar. This was due to a murder charge which was hanging over the prisoner, on which it was expected to secure eonviction. The prosecution was disappointed in this, and then charges of robbery were taken up and pressed. It is believed among lawyers that the conviction of Bell on a charge of murder would be extremely difficult. so that if the technical point is sustained the footpad will be at liberty in the near future.
