The Circuit Courtroom was again crowded
yesterday morning to witness the proceedings in
the Hallet Eileourn hdbsas corpus ease before
Chief Justice David X. Cartier, sitting in Cham
bers.
Mr.. Kilbourn and his counsel were promptly on
hand, as was Sergeant-at-Arms Thompson, with
his attorneys, Nessrs. Christy and Shcllabarger.
During the proceedings Judge WylIe occupied
a seat next the Chief Justice.
When the question was asked whether the
counsel were ready to proceed, Mr.. Carpenter, for
the petitioner, read the following paper, which
the relator had previously made afidayit to as
correct to the best Of his knowledge and belief:

repeated in full. And that the said Attorney of
the United States for the District Of Columbia
having received said certificate, afterwards laid
the same before the grand jury of the United
States Of the Supreme Court of said District

turn thereto, as appears on record in said court,
and the said Klbourn asks that said warrant and
return may be considered part of this suggestion

ment according to law; and that upon giving such
bail as may be ordered in the premises he, the
said Kilbourn, may be discharged from present
and actual custody.

barger for the Sergeant-at-Arms. The latter did
not finish. but will conclude this morning and be
followed by Mr. Voorhees,
