THE SLAYER ECHO.

COLUMBIA S. c. Dec. A.
To-day the prisoners in the SLAYER Echo
case, l6 in number, were brought before the
Federal Court on a writ Of Ha6eus Corpus
The counsel for the prisoners moved that
they be discharged from custody, when a
counter motion was made by the S. Dis
trict Attorney that they be remanded tojail
to await the further action of the Grand
Jury. Arguments against the Constitution
ity of the law of 1920 were made by Messrs
Spratt and Gregg. The invalidity OF the
law was the ground on which they made the
demand for the discharge of the prisoners.
District Attorney Conner replied in an argu-
ment of conceded force, soundness and elo-
quence. The further hearing of the case
was postponed till Monday
