THE LAST HOPE GONE.
Justice BRADLEY Denies the Guitenu.Beed
Hnbean Gamma


Yesterday Associate Justice Bradley, of the
United States Supreme Court, delivered bis opin-
ion on the Guiteau habeas corpus case. After
reoitng very fully the points involved-jurisdic-
ton and the power Of the court to try the case
the opinion goes very deeply into the subject and
several authors ore quoted in support of the POSI-
ton taken by the District courts
THE OPINION CONCLUDES As FOLLOWS;
1t seems to me, therefore, after very careful
consideration OF the question, that the criminal
court Of the District had jurisdiction to try the
case OF Guiteau, and that habeas corpus for his
discharge ought not to be allowed. l should be
very reluctant TO interfere with the course oil Jus
tice In any case in which n fair and impartial
trial has been had, and the iurisdictional ques-
ton has been fully considered, unless II appeared
to me quite clear that n mistake has been made In
assuming Jurisdiction, for, at least, that 1t was
question of very grave doubt.
The question In this case was very fully and
learnedly discussed both by the learned judge
general term; and after n careful examination of
the arguments OF counsel on both sides, and OF the
learned opinion of the judges, with such refec;
ton rs have been able ~ give TO the subject,
have reached the conclusion above stated.
IN case Of grave doubt and difficulty, and APP
pellate in Its character las this Gaze isl have
preme Court Of the United States, as was done In
ex parte Clarke 400 U s., 399; but such Is not the
usual course, and is not to be followed II II can
well be avoided. Prompt action Is one OF the
beneficial CHARACTERISTICS of the remedy Of habeas
corpus, and Is due both TO the prisoner and the
administration Of Justice.
The law gives Jurisdiction to, and places the
responsibility upon a single judge to grant,or re-
fuse the writ; and II Is his duty TO decide an ap-
plcauon therefor II he eau do so with reasonable
conndeuco In his own conclusion; and 1t is his
right ~ d. 70 In eyety case.
The application IL denied. .,.
