1T. LOUIS, NO., Jnly l2.-Spec!a!s 20 the
Post Dispatch from Topeka, Kas., says that
all parties concerned in the Moore Norton
habeas corpus case appeared in court this
morning, and, after some talk, the matter
was against postponed until tomorrow
morning to give Moore's attorneys time
to examine the requisiton papers and the
warrant issued by Gov. Martin, Of Kansas.
Mrs. Norton says that she win not go back
TO St. Louis with Moore and that she can
never return to that city. ''l intend TO Co."
she said, "to some quiet place and remain
there for year at least, or until my means
give out. After that shall go back to tho
stage. / can easily support myself by
acting, but shall not DO that until am
obliged TO. have not decided yet where
l shall go, but it will be somc retired, quiet
place"
She seems TO be honestly fearful Of going
where her husband will be likely 20 meet
her, as she has mortal dread that he will
kill her. The property which she brought
from 81. Louis is now In tho possession Of
Attorney johnson, and II is likely that a
settlement in regard to II will be reached
very soon.
About noon a warrant was served on
Mrs. Norton by Constable Davies, charg.
ing her with violating the laws OF Kansas
in relation TO marriage by living with man
not her husband at the Copeland hotel.
She was then separated from Moore and
assigned 20 another room. The warrant
was issued against Moore rs well ~ Mrs.
Norton, but the former being already IN
the custody Of officers, Il was not served
ON him. II is thought that Ms. Norton
will plead guilty 10 the charge aud receive
the minimum penalty, fino Of $500.
Mrs. Norton. in conversation with a cor
respondent soon after the warrant was
served, said.

Judge Laughlin had another brief inter

urged her 10 leave Moor, but she would
not listen 90 him and abruptly turned
away from him while lac was talking with
her.
Judge Laughlin said aiierwardi ~ had
