BUTTE, Nov. 16.—This was the last day on which the county attorney could file information against Deeney, Hickey and Kelly in the Pearose murder case, but Mr. Baldwin did not let the day pass without attending to this part of his duties, although it was 10:30 to-night when he hunted up Clerk Clark and filed an information in Judge Pemberton's court reading as follows:
