The two Hodges, who were indicted at
the late term Of the Court in Lee county,
for the murder Of two Germans, and who
took change Of venue to this county, were
brought to this city on Monday last, in or
der to stand their trial at the present term
Of the Court, now in session. On Tues
day they were brought into Court and ap-
piled for continuance, on the ground, as
stated in their affidavit, that some twelve
or more witnesses residing in Nauvoo and
St. Louis (and by whom they expect to
prove an alb, would not be in attendance
and that they could not safely 60 to trial
without their testimony. The court, how
ever, refused to give them continuance,
but allowed them time until Tuesday next
to get their testimony-on which day, we
understand, the trial is to commence.
There has been considerable excitement
occasioned by these murders, and there
seems to be determination among both
the officers Of the law and the people, that
the murderers shall not 60 unpunished.
