The Kilbourne habeas corpus case
has been adjourned until Monday, as

meut for Kilbourne, was not ready to

The sixty days within which Wins
law can be returned will not expire
until May 20, and it is the impression
Of Mr. Fish that no declaration that
WInslow will not be returned will be
made until the termination Of this
time makes it necessary. tits learned
suthoritatively that private assurances
have been received in Boston from
Winslow that he will return volunta-
rly to this country and stand trial If
released.

n The nominee even il he cannot get the
nomination himself, and that he can
\ make the most out of the wreck OF his
fortunes by following that course.
