brought before Judge Brady, in Supreme Court, Cham
bcrs writ haoeas corpus procured by Mr Elihu
Root the object OF the writ being revocation OF the
nnc and Pernc's release from Jail. SIR. Root made
quite lengthy argument IN the case, his main point
being that there should have been specinc fine Tor

all the offences He also raised the question that this
being civil action the Court had not jurisdiction and
right 10 impose a lne without trial

Mr. Perine from
