Judge Giles in the United States District Court

corpus case of Ralph Abercrombie, who is
held by Gen. Wooley charged with being a
| spy and deserted to the enemy; also, with
| giving testimony before a Rebel Court Mar
| tial in Richmond, on which testimony Capt.

not set aside the haheas corpus. Abercrom-
