OF Felony.
A broadside of daylight was poured IN,
yesterday, upon St. Paul and Hudson about
simultaneously, in point of time.
Hudson got up big with the Importance of
the Frank business.
st. Paul, open eyed and eager cared, was
to sight or learned.
Yesterday morning was designated as the
time when the writ of habeas corpus petition
ing for Franks release should BIO heard in
Hudson.
There we're great many in st. Paul in
quiring ''what has been done?" even before
the first step towards do was taken in Hud-
son.
Tn Hudson.
The writ was made returnable at O clock
before Judge Simonds, county judge. Frank
was on hand, watched by the lynx-eyed
officer from Chicago. E. G. Rogers was
present as associate to Mr.. Clapp, of Hud-
son, attorney for Burke, the sheriff. Messrs.
W. D. Cornish and II. A. Wilson, of this
city, were present to battle for Franks free
dom.
The sinewy fingers of time pointed to 8
O'Clock, and then grabbed away an inch or
two of the space belonging to 10 o'clock.
No Judge. Anxiety mastered all parties to
the transaction, and made the large crowd in
attendance very impatient. AS 10 O'Clock
was marked up against the feeting mo-
ments of the new year, Judge Simonds came
into court.
FRANK RELEASED FROM CUSTODY.
The case of the State of Wisconsin ex re
Samuel Frank, VS.. James II. Burke was
taken up. The claimants to the custody of
the relator, Frank, made return to the
court, contending that the arrest was legal,
and the whole process of the law had been
complied with. Requisitlon, warrant,
etc., we're produced in corroboratlon.
In answer the relator by attorney claimed
that the requisition had been granted unad-
visedly against the rights of citizen, and
the warrant was of no account, being based
upon complaint the Chicago complaint)
which in law was defective in specifying a
distinctive crime. Mr.. E. G.. Rogers stated
the case for Burke, and withdrew from the
court room to take the train for St. Paul
MIR. II. a. Wilson made answer, and laid
stress upon the defect of the complaint,
The requistion and warrant of arrest was in
consequence defective, there was neither law
nor reason for Franks arrest, etc.
The court evidently took the same view of
the matter, for just as the 1:30 o clock train
drew up at Hudson the court house emptied
itself of tue crowd. Among the mass
was Frank, evidently in fine feather. He
WAS receiving numerous congratulations. An
enthusiastic exhibition of satisfaction at the
triumph of fair play was manifested.
THE START FOR ST. PAUL.
In a hurrah style the party reached the
train. Frank, free man, bought a ticket
for st. Paul and got on the train at the con-
ductor's sail aboard"
W. D. Cornish and Mr.. Hermann, friend
Of Franks, also got on.
There was the hilarity and cheerfulness of
regained liberty tbrobbing away in the party.
But the pulse ceased to beat, almost, from a
sudden shock.
Just as the train was crossing the St. Croix
river, the forward door of the smoking car
was opened. James H. Burke, deputy sher-
If of Cook county, Illinois, entered. He
took look around the car. Then he went
to the door IN the partition of the coach,
opened 1t, looked in and saw Frank
He went up to him. Frank then got the
shock which changed his JOY into apprehen-
sion. Burke didn't allow him much time to
think, but opened out at once his intention.
''Just as soon as we get into Minnesota, I
am going to arrest you again." remarked
Burke.
'WhatI'
''Arrest you.''
The noise of the train somewhat deafened
the words of the conversation. But there
were several present, who took in the full
meaning, seeing Burke and Frank together.
Excitement seized the spectators, and there
was rush to the part of the car occupied by
Frank.
FRANK RE-ARREsTED.
Snap-and pair of hand cuffs braceleted
Franks wrists.
This act was followed by declaration
from Burke that he was an officer of the law.
and was authorized to make the arrest bv q
warrant, and he was going to do it or -,
Emphasis was given to the declaration by g.
gesture. Burke reached around and back
wards to his revolver pocket. Several par
ties expostulatcd. Burke grabbed his pr1s-
oner, forced him from his seat and through
the car to the forward door. The train
slackened IN speed, stopped. Saltwater
junction was reached, Burke had mean
while thought it advisable, and had removed
the hand cuffs. With his prisoner in close GUS
tody, Burke got off the train, pulling Frank
after him.
W. IL. Cornish and Hermann jumped off.
FREE RIDE.
Burke showed his prisoner into stage.
Hermann and Cornish scramble in. The
driver was imperatvely commanded to drive
on He obeyed, but had only gone short
distance, wheI he was as authoritatiyely di
rected to stop. He pulled up.
Burke ordered Frank out, and followed
him. He observed a farmer in wagon ap-
preaching. He threw back his coat, dis
closed his ''star,'' said he was an officer, had
prisoner and ordered the farmer to give up
his wagon.
The farmer was bulldoZed!
Burke and Frank drove away, the farmer
laying the whip to the TANKS of his corn
fed stock
''Hold up! stopl' was breathlessly called
