mnCpousA ltt up on MIN, out kept an
eye on him waiting for something to
turn up.
A dispatch sent to Rutland, Vermont,
was answered by one from Mr.. Ripley,
President OF the Rutland County Bank,
which had been bled to the tune of over
$4,000 requesting the Sheriff to hold
Piper, alas Farley, till requlsitien was
received. Accordingly he was again
arrested on Monday, on complaint OF
Sheriff Main on warrant issned by
Justice Baltzell, and compelled to spend
the night in durance vile.
This morning, on a writ OF habsas corpus,
he was brought before Judge Bryant, OF
the county court, where on his behalf,
Messrs. j. W. Johnson and s. U. Pinney
claimed that he should be released on
account OF Irregularities Ia the warrant
and the arrest. District Attorney Ball,
on the other hand, claimed that he
should be held. The court adjourned at
noon till o'clock, when we understand
further argument was to be had, Hon. P.
l.. Spooner assisting District Attorney
Ball.
We understand that Farley" makes
no concealment of his performances as q
sharper and swindler, but boasts OF his
exploits in that line, and OF his skill in
escaping the law. 1t is to be hoped that
hemay at last get his deserts, and his
career be brought to an end.
The Farley-Piper Edwards forgery
case, OF which we gave brief account
yesterday, has taken a new turn, and at
this writing 1t is still an open question
what will be done with the prisoner.
Further argument, as We stated yes
terday, was to be held before Judge
Bryant on the writ of 6abeQe corpus, yes
terday afternoon at 8 o'clock. The
counsel not being prepared at that time,
however, an adjournment was had till
evening, when a lengthy argument took
place, Messrs. Johnson and Pinney on
behalf of the prisoner, claiming his re-
lease, and District Attorney Ball, Judge
P. L. Spooner, and Col. W. F. Villas, in
the interest OF justice, claiming that he
should be held.
The lawyers arrayed against the pris-
oner seemed to be talking against time,
for a purpose which the sequel showed.
Judge Bryant, when, after midnight, the
argument was concluded, decided that
the warrant was insufficient to hold the
prisoner and ordered his discharge.
Thereupon new actors appeared on the
scene in the shape of three gentlemen
from Vermont, John Prout, Esq, Attor-
ney, w, M. Field, Sheriff of Rutland
County, and Fl. H. Smith, assistant of
the Sheriff, who had left Rutland Satur-
day. and just arrived on the night train
armed with a requisition from The Gov
error ofVermont, on which an order had
been procured from Gov. Fairchild for
the surrender Of the prisoner to answer
to a charge of forgery on the Rutland
County Bank. Farley, who had been
ungoverned and gay all the evening, ap-
peared little taken aback. His counsel,
however, objected to the requisition, and
obtained leave to appear before the
Governor this morning and show reasons
why it should be revoked, and meantime
Nh. Farley-Piper- Edwards was remanded
to Jail for the night.
This morning Messrs. Tenney and
Reyes appeared before the Governor, on
behalf of Mr.. X. A. Darling of Fond du
Lac, who made affidavit that the prisoner
had committed forgery on his Bank, for
which he wished him taken to Fon du
Lac and tried. They argued that our
own laws should be INDICATED and the
prisoner tried for his ofense in this State
rather, than surrendered to the Vermont
authorities. Messrs. Spooner, Prout and
Bull for Vermont urged that the Gov
ernor's order should stand, and he deci-
ded that it should, when Mr.. Reyes
claimed that he had not finished his ar
gument, and desired to have the decis-
ION stand open that he might present
some authorities which he hoped would
convince him that the prisoner should
be retained in that State. The Governor
finally yielded, and allowed the matter
to stand open till o'clock this after
noon, when the case was further argued
and authorities quoted.
We understand this is the fifth re-
quisitisn which has been issued for the
prisoner by the Vermont authorities, but
he has always heretofore got off on some
bubble or cross fire.
We learn that the woman whom Far
ley has had with him here, and who is
said to be young girl whom he brought
up and left his wife to run away with,
left on the western train yesterday.
?. S.-Just as we go to press We learn
that Gov. Fairchild has rendered final
decision that the prisoner shall be sur
rendered to the Vermont authorities and
be surrendered to that State to answer
for his crime there. This decision we
regard as eminently sound.
We shall speak more at ZENITH of this
remarkable. case and the part taken in it
by our Dane county officers tomorrow
