before the public for so long time. now
on his winding way " the scene OF tne
alleged murder Of Bessie Moore, III
charge of the Texan authorities, who had
begun to despair OF ever getting
him out Of this State. Yesterday after
noon an argument in the case was heard
before Judge Matson, of the Probate
Court.
At the conclusion Of the time which
had been given TO it, Major Blackburn
stated to the Court that he had not con-
c uded his argument. Tnereupon the
Court intimated that it would convene
again at 6 O'Clock iu the evening aud SIT
until the arguments were closed. Ibe
Major thought he would be able to COM
plete his argument in an hour, il the
Court would only lay the case over until
this morning. This Was done, and az
the appointed time the case was again
called, argued by r R)thscnild's attorney,
and finally decided by Judge Matsoh,
that the writ OF habeas corpus taking
would be sustained. That settled IL 50
far, and The Major, who always
hangs on with bulldog tenacity TO
case while there is the least hope, was
revolving in his mind what next step
! he should take in order to de-
lay things, when Mr.. j. Nj. Vines
