ASSEMBLYMAN VACHERON'S TRIAL.

New York, 1895

A Day Will be Fixed on Monday When He Will Plead.

ALBANY, June 10 — District Attorney Burlingame, in the court of sessions to-day, before Judge Clute, moved that a date be set next week for the trial of Assemblyman Vacheron on the indictment for bribery in connection with the killing of the Hudson river ice cutting bill in the last legislature.

John B. Stanchfield of Elmira and Andrew Hamilton of Albany appeared for Vacheron, who was not in court, although being in the city.

They asked that the time for trial go over until July 1, on account of professional engagements, and for the reason that they had not heard or read the evidence on which the indictment was found. Mr. Stanchfield said his client would avail himself of the privilege of finally pleading on Monday next, and that counsel reserved until then the right to make any motion that they may determine regarding the sufficiency of the evidence or the legality of the indictment.

Judge Clute said that the prisoner would be allowed to enter his plea on Monday next, when counsel could also make any motion desired. He said that unless counsel and the District Attorney agreed on a date for trial that he himself would fix a date. Mr. Stanchfield said that there was no desire to have the case go over the term. Judge Clute will on Monday next fix a date for the trial. — N. Y. Sun.
