The Echo Case.

This case continues 70 excite aguod deal
of interest in the public mind. After the
Grand Jury had ignored the bills, charging
the prisoners with piracy under the Act of
Congress, 1920, the counsel for the prison.
ers moved for n writ of habeas corpus for
their discharge, for want of legal cause for
detention. The writ was granted retuna-
bic on Saturday 4th, when the prisoners, to
the number Of eighteen, were brought into
Court and the argument Of eounsel com.
menced.
The Court was occupied uaul Tuesday
following in hearing argument, Mcssrs.
Spratt, Gregg and BelIinger, for the dis
charge of the prisoners, and MIR. Como r,
the United States Attorney, and Mr.. Hayne,
the latter retained by the Government) for
their remand TO Jail and preferment to an
other Grand Jury at the next sitting of the
Court in Charleston.
The action Of Grand Jury is not infalli-
BILE, and the same bill may be preferred TO
another; the ground of the defence and
for discharge of the prisoners, seems 70 rest
entirely on the unconstitutionality Of the
law, with what propriety it is for the Hon
orable Judges, who are amply capable, to
determine. At the conclusion of the argu-
mcnt on Tuesday, it was announced that
the decision Of the Court on the Habeas
Corpus would be delivered on Thursday at
I o'clock, p. NJ.
On Thursday at the appointed hour,
Judge Magrath very ably and elaborataiy
reviewed the law bearing upon the points
raised by argument Of counsel also the
provisions Of the Act Of 1870 and both
he and Judge Wayne concurred in and ren-
dered opinions in favor Of the constitution
ality Of the "Piracy Act" and against the
prayer Of the defendants, who asked to be
discharged under the hdbedS corpus. The
prisoners were then rcmanded to the cnsto-
dy Of the Marshal to await the next Circuit
term of the Federal Court for this State, to
be tried on the charge of pisaey.
As the affair has turned out, the action of
the Grand Jury in Columbia has proven
hostile to the interests of the prisoners, en-
failing upon them u sg months longer i'm.
prisoRmcnt.
