DEMURRER iS SUSTAINED
Annual Meeting of Presbytery
Other News of Peters?
burg.
Times-Dispatch Bureau,
i?3 North Sycamore Stre-rt.
Petersburg, Va., March j;5.
As a result of a decision rendered
this afternoon by Judge Mullen, of the!
Hustings Court, Carter R. Bishop, the
former cashier, will not be called to I
trial to-morrow on indictment No. U. i
charging him with making a false re?
port of the financial condition of the
Appomattox Trust Company, to the
Corporation Commission.
Messrs. Wlllcox and Wlllcox, counsel
for Mr. Bishop, moved the court to
uuasii the Indictment, on the ground
that the statute providing for bank
reports Is unconstitutional, because,
being criminal, it is incomplete in It?
self, in that it leaves some matters
further to be legislated upon by tho
Corporation Commission.
Counsel for Mr. Bishop also entered
demurrers to the indictment on the
grounds, first, that it docs not state
the character of the bank in question;
second, that no allegation Is made that
the corporation had promulgated the
rule under which the bank statement
was called for; third, failure of the. in?
dictment to set out the report fin full;
fourth, that tt does not specify the
particulars in which the Items In the
report were false.
All of these points were fully and
ably argued affirmatively by counsel
for Mr. Bishop, and in opporMtlon by
Commonwealth's Attorney R. H Mann
The argument was attentively heard
by a large assemblage of members of
the bar of the city, including the full
array of counsel for Charles 11 all
Davis.
Judge Mullen overruled the motion
to quash the Indictment, and over?
ruled also all the points of the demur?
rer, except the last which he sustain?
ed on the ground that It was not par?
ticular enough in its statements of
facts. The result of this decision Is
that Mr. Bishop will not be brought
to trial to-rnorrow, as had been ar?
ranged, and that the entire bank af?
fairs will probably be brought before
another grand jury for action and for
new indictments. Meanwhile all the
present Indictments will be held until
new ones are found. At least such Is
the report to-day. Another grand jury
investigation of the Appomattox Trust
Company's affairs would probably
cause considerable delay, and, it is
predicted, may result in the indict?
ment of other parties than Mr Hishop
and Mr. Davis. The grand jury meets
to-morrow. Mr. Da vis's case is set
for trial on April 10.
