HEw YoRK, Oct. 30-Ex.Ranker James
D. Fish was visited last night at the Murray
Hill Hotel by several prominent business
men who extended to him their friend
ship even in adversely. This morning his
daughter, sou and sister called and accoFa-
panied him TO the Grand Central Depot.
When the train was about to start Fish
kissed his female relatives atIectionately.
At 1890 the train moved out OF the depot.
A report was current this morning that
Judge Smith, Canandaigua, issued yester-
day writ q hRheas corpus in the cRse OF
James D. Fish, based on the CLAIM that
his removal from prison was irregular and
that he cannot be lawfully returned. It
was said the papers would be served when
the train stopped at Syracuse. Assistant
District Attorney Purdy said to-day that
Il was in his opinion untrue, and that Fish
was making no effort tq escape the execu-
ton OF his sentence.
MIR. Purdy in further discussion Of the
Fish and Ward business, expressed regret
that the law limits the period ot Wards
possible imprisonment to that Of "any
poor devil who steSls $25.' He said that

sheimer can very easily make application
to have sentence suspended on Ward for
his present conviction and have
him remanded day by day to
the custody Of the Sheriff until
he could make case against him on
his tporsheimer'a). indictment. Then
upon conviction, Ward could be sentenc.
ed to consecutive SENTENCES in both courts,
and receive in the aggregate punishment
far more compatible with the enormity Of
his otIense than period, even the maxi
mum limit Of which can be reduced by
good behavior to about seven years. +
