THE VACHERON CASE.

New York, 1895

The District Attorney Wants it Tried by Special Oyer and Terminer.

ALBANY, June 21. — In the Court of Sessions this morning Judge Clute overruled the demurrer in the Vacheron bribery case and held the indictment good. The Judge said that he had not written an opinion, but thought that as the indictment held that money had been taken, that was sufficient. Neither Assemblyman Vacheron nor his attorneys were present. District Attorney Burlingame objected to the absence of the attorneys for Vacheron, but the Judge said that the day for trial could be set another time. — N. Y. Sun.

ALBANY, June 25. — Assemblyman Eugene F. Vacheron, of Ozone Park, accompanied by one of his counsel, Judge Hamilton, of Albany, appeared to-day in the court of sessions, and renewed his plea of not guilty to the indictment charging him with bribery in connection with the ice-cutting bill of Assemblyman Campbell, of Brooklyn.

Judge Clute expressed the belief that all interests would be served equally well if the trial was put off until the September term of the court.

District Attorney Burlingame did not think so. He said that he intended to ask Gov. Morton to call a special court of oyer and terminer for the purpose of trying the three murderers now confined in the Albany jail and that he could arrange it so as to have the Vacheron trial come off at that session of the court. Judge Clute said he would consider the district attorney's suggestion. — Brooklyn Times.

ALBANY, N. Y., June 26 — The bribery case of Assemblyman Eugene F. Vacheron, of Ozone Park, was put over the term to-day by Judge Clute in the court of sessions, and was sent to the criminal court. District Attorney Burlingame has petitioned the governor to call a special oyer and terminer for August to try the three murderers now confined in the Albany county jail. If it is called the district attorney says that the Vacheron case will come to trial at that time. Otherwise it cannot come up until the September term. — Brooklyn Eagle.

The "pull" seems to be working in one direction, at least.
