The following decisions were rendered Oct. 80:
1908. Eli Lowery VS.. Andrew j. Howard. From
the judge of the Clark c.. c., in vacation. Affirmed:
Howk, APPELLANT entered a plea of guilty to a
charge OF murder in the first degree. and the Orange
Circuit Court assessed his punishment at imprison-
ment forlife. He applied to the judge of the Clark
Circuit Court for a writ of habeas corpus on the
warden OF the prison, alleging that he had been i'm
prlsoned without the Intervention of jury. 1t was
error for the Orange Circuit Court to exercise the
discretion which our law confers on the jury and
not upon the court to assess appellants punishment
at Imprisonment during his natural life. 1t should
nave called a jury to aix the punishment.
but that error did not renderthis~ Judgment void. The
pet'tlon Tor a habeas corpus is a collateral attack on
the judgment, and therefore cannot be sustained. In
such a case an appeal is the remedy, and in this case
all that could be done would be to reverse, with in
s~tructions to submit the question of punishment upon
the plea of guilty to the discretion of a jury. The
case OF Wartner VS.. State (1o2 Ind, So was a direct
appeal, and does not apply.
l22S1. Artemus n. Hadley ct al. VS.. James K. P.
Musselman. johnson @. c.. Affirmed. Elliott, j.
~ The act of March 13. 1875, in regard to the re-
demptlon OF personal property sold for taxes, is re-
pealed by the act of March %, 1881. Under the
latter act there is no provision for redemption. (2)
Where a bailee of personal property is under a con-
tract or duty to pay taxes, he cannot become a pur-
chaser of the property at a sale for taxes; but where
there is no contract and no duty, he may buy. 49,
Christmas day, in the absence of a statute, is not q
legal holiday. In regard to commercial paper. the
statute makes it such. Personal property may be
sold for taxes on that day.
12055; Robert Marshall VS.. sallie R. Mathers.
Monroe c. G. Affirmed. Niblack, J.-Q.) An answer
by a surety to a suit on a note, averring that he and
another party were ~sureties; that one Rhorer was
the agent of the payee, and attending to her business;
that when the note fell due the maker was about to
leave the State; that they, as sureties, notified plaintiff
and her agent to sue upon the note; that the plaintiff
writing, and agreed that the verbal notice was suff-
Gent. and agreed to release them and to hold the princi-
pal, does not show a discharge of the surety, the aver
ment OF release being a conclusion of law. CO. Newly
discovered evidence, cumulative or impeaching in
character, is not ground for a new trial.

THE FOREIGN CORPORATION ACT.
1t Has Not Been Violated by the Adams Ex-
press Company.

Yesterday afternoon a Journal reporter met
Maj. A. W.. Hendricks, of the firm of Baker,
Hord 81 Hendricks, attorneys for the Adams Ex-
press Company in the damage suits brought
against that company, and. apologizing for the
seeming impertinence, asked if his firm knew of
Section 3,029 of the Revised Statutes relating to
foreign corporations, under which it was sug-
gested that the company had forfeited its rights
to hold property and do business in Indiana by
transfer of the cases from the Circuit Courts to
the United States District Court. 81 certainly
did know about it," said Major Hendricks. 81
think it no law at all. The statute is entirely
invalid. In the next place. it cannot refer to
this case if valid, because the Adams Express
Company is a joint stock company organized
under the laws of New York, which declare that
it cannot be a corporation"
John Al. Finch, the well known attorney, it
has been said, was the author of the act, but
when asked about the matter yesterday, he said.
where did you get the kindergarten idea that
| had helped originate that law? The contrary
is true; L have always opposed it. The law only
affects corporations, and If the Adams Express
not affect it. / do not believe in the law; it is an
outrageous hardship on corporations and fire.

corporation II a remote county can not get with
In sight of justice. 1t grew out of the prejudice
of the local bar over the State against the Fed
eral Court. There is this to say in favor of the
law: 1t allows parties to try their cases against
corporations in the counties in which they live,
thus saving the time and expense of themselves,
attorneys and witnesses in going 10 Indianapolis.
There is a rude sense of justice in it, but a SINH
lar law was held to be unconstitutional in the
Supreme Court of the United States in a case
that went from Wisconsin. But in a subsequent
decision in a case that went from the same State,
involving the same point, the Supreme Court of
the United States held, to the surprise of the
companies, that the law, though unconstitutional,
was yet in fact operative, for the reason that
companies had no right to enter any State, and
could only enter upon such terms as a State pre-
sc~ribed-which could be constitutional or un-
constitutional. These two decisions fairly
knocked the bar off their feet"

The Mugwumps After Bowling.

The independents, who made so much trouble
Off Postmaster Jones, have forwarded to the
acknowledgements charges against James Dow
ling, the railway postal clerk who boosted that
he had bribed members of the Council, and they
will endeavor to secure his dismissal from the
service. The charges are supported by copies of
the court proceedings wherein Bowling refused
to testify on the ground that he
would crIminate himself. There is some refec-
ton on Congressman Bynum in the matter, as
it will be shown. it is claimed, that Bynum made
the assertion that he ''had to take care of these
politicians" The charges have been presented
formally, and the assurance has been given by
the Postmaster general. it is claimed, that they
will receive careful attention.

A Note from Mrs. Royse.

TO the Editor Of the indianapolis Journal:
wish to say TO the public through your paper
that ALIVE Royse was never accused of a street
car robbery. Maurice Haley is the person that
was accused of that robbery. He ran away last
October and returned in June. and was arrested
on the 7th of July in the nail factory on Shelby
street. Alvie Royse was at home working for
WINNER. the jeweler. all that time. See Super
intendent Lang about this. 1t is hard for nae to
see these things in the papers without a chance
to correct them. One paper says ALIVE is older
than Maurice Haley; that is a mistake. / could
write columns if | thought you would publish it.
/ would have asked this favor of your paper be-
fore this, but l have been too sick TO think of
anything. Mrs. w. L. ROYSE.

GRAND Observation-Disclosures.

GRAND OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES"
Mr.. Keene and his company presented MAC
beth" at the Grand last night, the audience be-
ing decidedly the largest of the engagement,
while the production, in a scenic way, was by
far the most elaborate and striking of the week.
Mr.. Keenes Macbeth is an intense, earnest per.
Torrance, full of fire and spirit, and showing a
nice discrimination in the expression of varying
emotions. In the heaviest scenes he called forth
enthusiastic applause. and in the banquet scene
he was particularly effective. Miss Vader's
Lady Macbeth certainly does not lack the ele-
meDt of force. She has a tendency to pitch her
voice toe high, and in longcontinued declama-
tory speeches an unnatural straining and ten
sion is the result. Mr.. Levick's Macduff was
manly and scholarly, decidedly the best imper-
%sonation of the cast, with the exception Of the
stellar part.
At the matinee this afternoon 'Romeo and
Juliet" will be given, and this will give Mr..
Keene's admirers an opportunity to see him in
a role that is not SO heavy. The concluding per-
Torrance will be tonight, Merchant of Venice"
with keene as Shylock.
THE ROBSON AND CRANE ENGAGEMENT.

of the Robson and Crane company at the Grand,
the first part of next week, began yesterday, and

evident that the theater will hardly accommodate
the crowds that come to see the Comedy of
Errors" 1t is acknowledged to be the greatest
spectacular production ever given a Shaksperian
play in this country, requiring three carloads of
scenery and one of costumes for its production.
The company travels in a special train of six
cars, and wherever it has appeared the business
has been enormous. A great many QUITO town
people have sign:fed their intention of being
here next week. The sale will continue at the
box-ofice, which is open from GA M. to 10 o'clock
P. NJ. until the close of the engagement. An
elegant souvenir will be given to each lady in at
tendance upon the opening night.

A Reported D~efalcation Denied.

To the Editor OF the indianapolis journal:
In reply to the report in your paper that Thos.
r. Moore. sheriff of Madison county, is a de-
faulter, | wish to state that it is a false alarm.
His books have been carefully investigated, and
he has on hands the cash ready at any moment
TO pay it over to proper parties as soon
as proper and legal process has been
gone through with, such as COM
plotting returns, giving receipts, etc. Be-
sides, he h as fully ST. 600 due him and unpaid,
the most of which is collectable. 1t is believed
by his many friends here, where he was raised,
that parties who are jealous of him and the good
record he is making, and who have an eye on
the sherlffs Office for the next term, caused the
false report to be published. His books are wide
open for the inspection of any and all. Will you
please give this statement a place in your paper,
in justice to Mr.. Moore, and in behalf of his
many friends here and all over this county.

There has been not over half dozen visit

who belong here. II is quite as
tonishing to know that there are nearly

city. Morning prayer meeting was slightly
attended. DIR. Morgan preached at 1890 q.

After this meeting the prayer meeting
was held MS continuation OF the morning

ing, many going TO the penitonts' bench.
Miss Mamie Burris, granddaughter, was
among the converts.
Mr.. Norris by his impassioned exhorta-
ton last night was instrumental In leading
many pentents to the altar. OF the six
who went forward only one was converted.
The number OF persons converted during
the camp thus far Is five. DIR. Crawford, of
Gaithersburg, and n candidate for the lcgis-
lature, is one Of them. The preacher to-
night was Rev. Mr.. Reed, OF Anacostla,
who delivered quite fine sermon.
