ST.. LOUIS, June 11.-Dispatches from
Topeka, Kas. SAY the hearing on the appli
cation for writ of habeGs corpus on be-
haff of Moore and Mrs. Norton has been
postponed till to morrow. Mrs. Norton
is said to be very nervous to-day and
,clings still closer to Moore, and most
fervently AYERS she will not be separated
from him. Moore and Mrs. Norton were
not informed until this morning and il
was known to no one but the officers that
complaint was filed by County Attorney
Curtis late last evening before Justice
Carle against them, charging both with
q violation of the State law under section
IL, in relation to marriages, which makes
it a misdemeanor for an unmarried
couple to live together as man and wife,
and fixes the penalty at not less than
$1,000, nor more than $4,000 fine, or not
less than 80 days, nor more than 8
months imprisonment. If they had been
relased to-day they would have been i'm
mediately arrested on the above charge.
IL lS uOt likely tl6 WdTIdHt Will Dc StINou
until they are released.
MOORE HATES TO GO BACK.
''I don't have much faith in these
habeas corpus proceedings" said Moore
to q correspondent this morning.
"Then you will probably have to go
back with the officers"
"Well, it looks that way, must admit,
but my Godl 1 do hate to return to st.
Louis"
"What is your objection ?"
tWell, 1 had made up . my mind !
would never set my foot in st. Louis
again. don't hate to 60 back because 1
have to answer to the charge of grand
larceny. John w. Norton can not bring
one iota of proof against me. But it is
going back to st. Louis that dread, for
there has been so much said about this
escapade of mine in st. Louis that /
don't want to see the city again; nor do
want to see anybody there
ovERTUREs AT SETTLEMENT.
Judge Laughlin, attorney for Norton,
and Captain Johnson, attorney for
Moore, held a long consultation this
afternoon in Judge Laughlin's room.
Captain Laughlin said at the close of the
consultation:
Negotiations are in progress between
us which may lead to a settlement of the
affair. The condition on 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 and give up the
papers she has in her possession. This
proposition has been made by Norton,
but neither Moore nor Mrs. Norton will
agree to it. Still l have hopes we will
be able to settle the matter without the
aid of the courts. Both Moore and the
woman declare they will not separate" /"
MRS. NORTON.
TOPEKA, July 11.-Mrs. Norton is suf-
fering tonight from intense nervous
prostration. She has very little to say,
and that little is decidedly contradictory.
For the first time the statement attrib-
uted to her husband, that she is not right
in her mind, begins to find credence.
ST. LOUIS, July 1.-THE latest inform
alton from Topeka is that Mrs. Norton
was released from custody this afternoon,
there being no charge against her.
