The Liberal Lyre Seward County Friday January 22, 1892 Justice GIBSON's Court convened at 9 o'clock on Saturday morning, January 16th, according to adjornment of Friday, as reported in the Lyre last week. The witnesses the State had expected to arrived failed to appear, so the State rested. The Defence never offered any testimony, but demurred to the testimony of the State so far as HUTCHINSON, ANDERSON and ESTES were concerned. Court overruled as to ANDERSON and ESTES, but discharged HUTCHINSON and admitted the other two to bail in the sum of $500 each, which was readily given without trouble. Defence then asked for continuance, which ws granted to Jan. 28th. The four remaining defendants, B. ORNER, J.LEACH, Rounds CHASE and Sam MINTON, are kept here in Liberal under the care of Sheriff GUYMON and deputies and are boarded at the Rock Island Hotel.
