The Liberal Lyre Seward County Friday January 29, 1892 Justice GIBSON's court convened yesterday afternoon at 2 o'clock to continue the trial of J.J. LEACH, Sam MINTON, B.ORNER and Rowen CHASE, charged with the murder of Sheriff DUNN. For several days Leach has been sick, and was not able to appear in court. Some time was spent in discussing the question as to whether they could proceed with his trial in his absence. The State, represented by County Attorney BEAUCHAMP and R.M. PAINTER, of Meade, argued that they could not go on with his case, while Judge ELLIS, for the defense, claimed that they could. They finally agreed to proceed with the trial of the three present. The defence offered no testimony, but asked that the prisoners be admitted to bail. The State objected, and asked that they be held. Court then adjourned until 7 o'clock last night, when the Court decided that Leach be released on bail and the other three be committed to jail.
