The defense maintains that it will establish to the satisfaction of both Jury and Judge that the charges are groundless and without founda tion in fact. He will undertake to prove that Jones acted solely on his own initiative and that the relations existing between the two were those of agent and client and nothing more. Doubtless a large crowd will be on hand to-dav and the days following to watch the progress of the trial. Ilirsch Case Appealed to Superior ..,...' Court. .
