SUPREME COURT.
Trial of the Habeas Corpus Case OF Il.
W. DE Walt.

yesterday morning the Supreme Court
of Wyoming convened, His Honor Chief
Justice Lacey on the bench. The court
is in session for the purpose of hearing
the habeas corpus case which involves the
question as to whether +. W. De Walt,
who was sentenced to the penitentiary ut
Laramie for ten years by the United
States District Court Of Colorado, shall
be set free under tho late ruling of the
Federal supreme court, that convictions
under information instead of indictment
for infamous crimes, are Illegal, De Walt
was present in person and by attorney,
and the proceedings began with matters
of pleading, which were presented and
argued by counsel on both sides upon the
merits of the case, Mr.. II. w. Hobson,
the United States attorney for Colorado,
delivering an argument of considerable
length and Of great force, in which he
presented suggestions that the court had
no jurisdiction in the case, that the mat
ter was res ddjudicdtd, having been
passed upon by the district of Colo
RADIO upon demurrer to the Information ut
the time of trial hat the crime was a
misdeameanor, and not Infamous under
the United States statute; that c%onino-
ment in the penitontiary did not necessa
rly make the crime Infamous, and that
under the recent Wilson decision hard
labor was made the test Of infamous pun
ishment; that the decision Of the supreme
court in the Wilson case did not extend
to this case, but on the contrary was
rather against the petitioner position;
that under the recent division OF opinion
in Chicago in the Mackin- Gallagher case,
in which Mr.. Justice Harlan held a crime
punishable similarly to this was not in
famous, this court had no right to consid
or or pass on the question as it is now
pending before the supreme court.
Thee matters, with their discussion by
counsel, occupied the day, and court adj
journed at 8 O'Clock and will resume the
matter this morning at 10 clock.
De Walt is ably represented by 4. W..
Blake, Esq, of Laramie, and VI. j..

Miss Ellie Rishel, the last Of the
graduates to appear on thesstage, read an
essay entitled Tho Effects Of the Noun
tains upon Vegetable and Animal Life. "
This was a fine production, and was re-
ceived by all as a paper containing purely
original thoughts, and so woven together
with truths that are the outgrowth of Il
study Of the effects Of great attitudes, or
mountainous REGIONS, on the animal and
vegetable life, not to be found in school
books.
As to all of the graduates we can safely
say that they can be assigned to high
places in the literary world and efficiently
hold them, and Cheyenne can feel proud
of her daughters who attain such honor.
Thy Fowery Banks, OH Lovely
River, a song, was then rendered by
Miss Lottie HANNA, assisted by ten young
ladies. This was indeed n treat. Miss
HANNA, with a clear and strong soprano
voice, did the piece full justice, while
those who assisted are to be equally com
plimented.
An exercise was then given by six little
girls in the shape of a race. in which one
of tho young misses carried off a basket of
flowers, which was the prize sought.
The scholars belonging to the high
school we're then requested to come upon
the stage, which they did, and then the
four graduates came forward. Mr.. ]. C.
Baird delivered a very neat address to the
graduating class. after which he presented

terested in the educational work of this
district, to be hung in an appropriate

city. The speech was responded to by J.
C. Baird, ESD, of the board of trustees.
This is a very fitting gift and appropriate
recognition of one who has so faithfully
served this people. The good men do
lives after them.
Prof Stark then stepped to the front of
the stage and said. "As you are all aware

THE MYSTERY.
A Little Bit of Light Upon the
Headless Trunk Case.
A COmmissary Sergeant Missing
Who Answers the Description.

Yesterday the coroner and his jury Wis
tied the ground where the headless body
was found ON Thursday. but developed
nothing further to throw light on the
mystery. The testimony of the county
physician was taken, which amounted to
no more than was published in yesterday
LEADER, and the inquest adjourned until
Monday morning.
1t has transpired that there came to
this city from Fort Laramie about May |
a commissary sergeant whose name was
G. b. LANCE. While here he stopped at
one of the best hotels in the city, and was
seen to have considerable money on his
person. After staying here Il lew days he
had his baggage checked for Denver, but
has not been heard Of since that time.
He was a man about six. feet high,
weight about 1870 pounds, had a long full
beard and in size and weight to
that of the body found Thursday. 1t is
also said that LANCE has money here on
uepoaiA Mhich MAS never rtth cailcu loI'
About that time, late one night, a on
yeyance which came out of OfNeil street
was seen to cross the railway tracks going
toward the place where the body was
found last Thursday, and it contained
something covered up which the observers
supposed to be a case of smallpox being
taken to the pest house. This idea was
remarked at the time, aud was then
dropped and nothing further was thought
of the matter until the finding OF this
body, when the incident REQUIRED to the
minds OF the parties mentioned. Putting
these circumstanc together a clue to the
mystery is being unraveled.

The Proper Thing.

In the hurry Of preparing the report of
the meeting Of the school board for the
papers, a very material portion of the
report was overlooked by the clerk, viz,
the following resolution. which was unani-
mously adopted:

the board of trustees of school district
No. I, Laramie county, Nyo., be ten
dered to Mr. N. f. Stark upon his re-
firing from the principalship of the pub
lie schools of Cheyenne, for the time and
attention he has devoted to the schools,
and for the faithful manner in which he
has labored for the interests of education
during his long continued term as priuci-
pal, and that this resolution be spread on
the journal of the board, and that a copy
Of the same be presented to Mr.. Stark
and also to each Of the Cheyenne papers
for publication.

TILE MURDER OF MURPHY.
New Orleans Excited Over the Prospect that
His Assailants Will Be Set Free.

NEW ORLEANS, Jan. 31--The entire city has
been intensely excited and wrought up dur
ing the past four days over the trial of the men
accused of the murder of Captain Murphy
Murphy. it will be remembered, was killed Dec
l, while in charge of the gang cleaning Claiborne
canal, on one of the principal thoroughfares in
the city. He was attacked by six armed men,
chased two squares, and finally killed in the pres
ence of large number of persons. his body be-
ing riddled with bullets The men now on trial
for this crime are, all but one court officers
They are Judge T. j. Ford Caulield and Buck
ley, officers of his court, John Murphy, police
man, and Pat Ford, brother of the Judge.
The brutality of the murder the audacity with
which it was committed have thoroughly
aroused public sentiment here. The jury Sc
lected to try the case is not satisfactory one.
1t contains two negroes-one without any occu-
patton. Another member is gambler, and in
standing and intelligence is far below the aver
age. AS usual, nearly all the better class of
men summoned sought to escape jury duty
knowing that they wonld be locked up for long
time; and as the defense had sixty challenges
they succeeded in getting jury which is very
satisfactory to them. The friends of the prison
ers predict an acquitta and one of them was to-
DAY oneflng TO oet on IL. Inc testimohy winch
has been produced by the State has
been terribly strong against nearly all the
prisoners. There were twenty or thirty wit
nesses to the murder, who agree substantially as
to the facts, and who identify the murderers.
Despite this. the belief is strong that there will
not be a conviction. This has caused the most
indignant popular feeling known here for years.
The Times7Demoerat, Picayune and States all
comment severely on the trial and the necessity
for Furnishing murderers, and call attention to the
Cincinnati riots as one of the possible results if
murderers are acquitted here. There is great
deal of wild talk on the streets and threats of what
will be done if the jury acquits in the face of the
evidence. If this is done, strong popular dem
onstration Of some kind is expected, and at
tempted violence is not improbable

The knights of Honor Fund.

Louisville Courier-Journal.
A rumor afoat yesterday that in conse-
quence of the suit brought by Judge Breckin
ridge in the Chancery Court for the settlement
of his accounts as supreme treasurer of the
Knights of Honor. the Peoples Bank of Ken
lucky had refused to discount paper. It is we'll
known that the fund controlled by Judge Brock
inridge has been on deposit at this bank
A reporter called on Cashier Huber and asked
what truthfuIness there was in the rumor.
1--WE have not refused to discount paper for
our regular customers" answered the cashier.
''Such reports are very annoying If we an
swered them as fast as they are placed in circu-
lation would be kept busy all the time"
'If you were called upon to pay over to a
commissioner the $l12.500 which Judge Brock
inridge says is on deposit with you, could you do
itl'
Yes sir; we could pay the full amount on
short notice. That is not all. We are willing
TO pay it at any time"

The ARTISTS Model"
New York Letter

NEW LtLteT.
There are some things in the town, however,
which much less mysterious than they are
generally held to be. One of these is the
artists model. Many a time have you read
about the good and beautiful girl who, to save
her decrepit parents from starvation, or in the
way of entirely innocent vocation, poses unclad
for artists to draw from. You have been de-
ceived. 1t is true that girls are so employed,
not only in private studios, but before the
classes in the schools of art; but it is wholly
false that they are less shameless than the occu-
patton implies. Invariably they are vicious
and all accounts to the contrary are mere pleas
antries of fiction. There are numerous respect
