and placed ia the hands Of the u s. Marshals
deputies accompanied by Constable Agen At
/ y o'clock the woman was surrounded by FIVE of
her children, three Of whom are mere infants
When they were brought into the room where
she was sitting, large drops of perspiraion stood
upon her face, indicating the intense agony Of
mind she was suffering. II was a sorrowfu sight.
AT "a o'clock, Mr. MoMurtrie, or the claimant,
appeared to answer TO the habeas corpus and
stated that he had understood that the case had
been adjourned until o'clock, and, in conse.
quence, he had directed the claimant and his wit
nesses to leave the Court room, and be in attend
NNss ~ that hour He said th6l ae Gould not tell
where they were now to be found
The case was then adjourned till Friday after
noon.
MIR. MeMurtrie desired 10 know what ss-sah..

and whether the habsas corpus suspended his
powersl
Judge Kane said he was new in these matters.
that he could not answer these questions
