In addition to the Miss Mccabe habeas corpus

First, Mr.. Abe II. Hummell asked the discharge
from the House OF Detention Of James Brennan,
witness in the Dunn homicide As Dunn had been
tried and convicted 1t was urged that there was
no longer any reason for detaining Brennan. the
Judge took this view OF the case and ordered Bren
mans discharge. Henry j. stevens had been ar
rested and held to bail in $4,000 TO answer charge
OF paimng or a bogus draft on Kate Woods. The
Judge after hearing the facts OF the case decided
that there was no evidence upon which to hold
Stevens, and his discharge was ordered. Henry
walters was the third case. He pleaded guilty, 1T
appears, to stealing some lead pipe. 1t was urged
that he did not know The nature OF the plea, aud
furthermore that he was not confronted by his &C
cuser The Judge dismissed the writ and re-
manded the prisoner.
