Topeka, Kan, July 1l.-Hearing on
the application for writ of habeas
corpus in behalf of Moore and Mrs. Nor
ton, has been postponed by Judge
Guthrie till tomorrow. Mrs. Norton is
very nervous to-day and clings still
closer to Moore and most fervently AYERS
that she will not be separated from him.
Mrs. Caswell had another interview with
her this forenoon, but her pleadings to
the erring woman were of no avail. She
IS determined to stand by her love.
Both she and Moore yebemently deny
the reports in circulation about the
amount of money and yaluables taken
by them from ST. Louis. Mrs. Norton
says the money she has is her own, but
to property given her by her husband.
MIR. Moore asserts most positively that
he has none other than trifling debts in
st. Louis and that he never borrowed
dollar from Mr. Norton. Moore and
Mrs. Norton were not informed until
this morning and it was known to no
one but the officers that a complaint was
filed by County Attorney Curtis late
last evening before Justice E. Searle
against them. charging that violation
OF the state law under section II. in re-
lation to marriages, which makes it
misdemeanor for unmarried persons to
LIVE TOGETHER AS MAN AND WIFE,
and fixes the penalty at not less than
$500 nor more than $1,000, or not less
than thirty days nor more than three
months Imprisonment. Had they been
released to-day they would have been
charge. 1t is not likely that the war
rant will be served until they are re-
leased. A reporter asked Judge Laugh
lin this morning if he though there was
any doubt about their being able to take
Moore back to ST. Louis. Not in the
least" said the judge. 81 don't think
he will be released on habeas corpus,
and if he is released there are other
ways in which we can hold him." 1t is
very plain that the st. Louis officers
propose to have Moore. He will make
a persistent fight against going back,
but he will have to go and, as one of the
officers rem arked this morning. Moore
might just as well make up his mind to
go without so much trouble about it,"
Il do not have much faith in these
habeas corpus proceedings" said Moore
to a correspondent this morning. 81
have never had much hope from the
start that was likely to be released by
these proceedings, but my attorneys
were quite confident that they could not
hold me if this step was taken"
t''Then you will probably have to go
back with the otficers?'
oil hat -
My attorneys think there is chance
to be released. If my attorneys
would say the word l would be
- WILLING TO START BACK
this afternoon, for am quite sick. 1t
will come to that anyway. But, nv
God, do hate to return to st. Louis"
What is your objection?'
''Well, l had made up my mind that
would never set my foot in st. Louis
again. do not hesitate to go back be-
cause will have to answer the charge
of grand larceny. do not fear that at
all. John w. Norton cannot bring ole
iota of proof against me. l have never
had ole copper of his money in my pos
session, and knew nothing whatever
about the deeds and stocks which Mrs,
! Norton has; iii it is the going back to
st. Louis that dread, for there has
been SO much said about this escapade
of mine in st. Louis that l do not want
to see the city again. Nor do l want to
see anybody there"
Judge Laughlin, attorney for n orion
and Capt. Johnston, attorney for Moore
held long consultation this afternoon
in Judge Laughlin's room. Capt. John
ston said at the close of the consulta-
ton: Negotiations are in progress
between US, which may lead to a settle
of tho affair frba condition nv,
which Judge Laughlin proposes to
settle it without going into the courts,
is that Moore shall leave the country
and that Mrs. Norton shall return to st.
Louis ana give up the papers which she
has in her possession. This proposition
has been made by Mr.. Norton, but
neither Moore nor Mrs. Norton will
agree to it. Still, l have hopes that we
will settle the matter without the aid of
the courts. Both Moore and the woman
declare that
THEY WILL NOT SEPARATE"
Mrs. Norton declared this afternoon
that she was willing to give up any
property of Norton's she had in her
possession, but she would agree to no
proposition which meant the prOSecu-
ton of Moore.
Officer Browning left at 6 o'clock this
| morning for Nemaha county, where the
governor was suddenly called by the
| illness of his wife. The governor de-
| clared before his departure that he
would honor the reQuisition papers.
| The officer cannot get back before to-
morrow noon. The habeaS corpus pro-
ceedings were therefore postponed until
| his arrival.
Mr.. Moore said this afternoon in re-
ply to query as to why he had deserted
| his wife:
| ''Well, our relations for the past two
| or three years, am free to admit, have
| been the most pleasant. My wife was
as devoted to me as wife could be, but
it seems that l had no love for her. l
do love Emma Norton, love her more
than l ever loved my wife. Emma has
lbeen my friend: she has stood by me,
and will stand by her.
WE CAN'T BE SEPARATED.
q 1 know Mrs. Moore we'll enough to
know just when my encounter with
Norton became public, and my wife
llearned of my relations with Mrs. Nor
ton she would never come back to me.
She is not that kind of woman. There
would be no forgiveness under those
circumstances. Therefore thought it
my duty to protect Mrs. Norton while
her life was in danger"
+ 'Would you now leave Mrs. Norton
and return to your wife if she should
ask you to come back?"
T. No, sir; shall stay with the woman
/ love-"
g Norton makes no inquiries about his
Ewife, and appears to have no interest in
her.
