corpus, District Attorney worthington and Assis-
tant District Attorney Coyle for the government
and Hon. jeremiah Wilson, Mr.. A. b Williams and

under the Boston Indictment, and he was CON-
mltted TO the custody OF the marshal A petition
for a writ OF habeas corpus was nled and the writ

MI w. j. Miller, who Is security for Mt. Demp-
sey, presented petition asking that the proceed
ings under the Boston warrant be quashed and
That the marshal be directed 10 deliver Mr.. Demp-
Sey to his bondsmen.
Mr. Miller read In support OF hts petition the
case OF Taylor agt fainter, and said there We're
ether authorities to show that IL the prisoner gave
Dai In one jurisdiction and tried and convicted
In another the surety was not released.
The peiition was allowed 10 be 1led by the court.
Mr. A. b. Williams argued that the Jurisdiction
OF this court attached TO the defendent the moment

be made the ball 10 pass between the pitcher and
catcher with the batter striking at him. and he

the court as to which case should be first taken up
the court should grant the request
MI. Northington read number OF authorities,
ana commended that IL the United States took the
party out or this Jurisdiction that fact would

tlOn taken by the other side was untenable, and
