ST. Louis, May 22.-The habeas corpus case of
capt. Mcdonald was resumed to-day before Judge
Treat, United States District Court
The case was ably argued by District Attorney
Jones for the respondent, and Messrs. Wright,
Davis and Whittesey for petitioners.
The ground that the United States Attorney
TOOK was that the petition forth that the peti-
toner had been arrested by military authority
without legal process.
He cited precedents that the Court had no iuris.
dlction IN the matter, as the military authority in
time OF war or of rebellion had the power an d
might arrest persons in array against the Federal
Government for treason or alleged treason.
Messrs. Wright and Davis replied in support of
their position, that the United States District
Court had power to execute this writ that it was
the greatest protection of freemen in case of illegal
arrests, and under circumstances could it be de.
MED to prisoner.
Many authorities were gu 0ted on which the Judge
took notes and stated that be would carefully CON
