Howgate Demure and Demurrers in DC Indictments
Captain Henry W. Howgate pleaded not guilty and then demurred to seven embezzlement and four forgery indictments in the District of Columbia. Demurrers argued the charges were vague, too general, or not offenses under pre filing law, with lack of definiteness claimed in the forged indictments. In Michigan, rescuers freed miners from the Pewabic mine after 43 hours entombed, returning them to surface safe and sound amid communal rejoicing.
