BALTIMORE, March 90, 1874.
Dr. Paul Schoeppe, VINO, it will be remembered,
gained considerable nOtOrlety some two years
since at Carlisle, Pa, where he was tried Tor the
murder Of MISS Stinecke, has again attracted
considerable attention in this city. He came
here on last Monday for the purpose o.
claiming certain devlses In his favor contained IN
an alleged VIII Of MISS Stinecke. which his counsel
had filed IN the Orphans Court. On Tuesday, the
day after his arrival, the following despatch was
received at this place.

On the 18th Wednesday he was arrested, as the
kilograms have already reclted. while quietly
promenading one OF our principal thorougnlares
on a charge OF being common swindler," made
by one Henry G. Teck who. 1t appears. had for
merry been an intimate and sympathIZing friend
during the trial ut Carlisle. Upon THIS charge ne
was committed on Wednesday, IN default OF bail, for
Joseph II. Heuisler, one OF our most
prominent advocates filed petition for q writ OF
naoeas corpus. wnich was granted, in the City
Court, CHIEF Justice Brown presiding. The hearing
was set Tor hai-past nine O'Clock this morning.
In the meantime a second and third despatch
had been received by Marshal Gray. One from
Chicago reads

law questions to be declaed attracting a crowd
which is seldom seen IN our court rooms. Inc
entire legal fraternity, except those engaged in
trying cases in the other courts, present. The
counsel for the petitioner claimed that the prisoner
was detained without warrant Of law or AUTHORITY
alleging that the charge OF being common
swindler' did not set forth crime known either
TO the common or statute law.
The states Attorney SAID he would like to "whis
per IN the ear OF the Court' that the writ OF con-
mitnent contained no ground Tor the detention OF
the prisoner, but he alluded TO having received the
above dispatches and claimed that In order that
substantial justice might be done the hearing
should be postponed, in the hope That by gaining
time the requisition IRON ILLINOIS would be iortn,
coming.
the Court said that it was q question of the
gravest Importance and that he could not under
take, without reflection, even though 1t was adj
United that the commitment was VOID, to decide
the question whether Or not, when grave sus-
picOn exists that requlsitiOn from sister
state Will be forthcoming Tor prisoner,
he should be held reasonable time Tor such
requlslt!on. He was DESTROYS to hear FUR
quoted by counsel, and stated that note mad been
handed him by member OF the Bar during the
trial, saying that the whole ground mad been re-
viewed in case not alluded to by the states
Attorney and, in order That he might have the
benedt OF 1t and the further arguments OF coup-
sci, he postponed o further hearing until to-
morrow morning.
In the meantime Schoeppe goes back to jail, and
while the Chief Justice Is resolving In his nInd the
law or the case an of1cer Will come from Illinois
with the proper requlstiOn. The end in such
cases must surely Justify the means, tor what are
courts of justice unless the medium through whlC4
substantial justice may be done?
