George McNie, who was confined in the
county jail, en- route to Fresno on charge
of grand larceny, made an unsuccessful at
tempt to regain his liberty yesterday by
means of habeas corpus. In this he was
partially successful as it was shown that
he was not arrested by due process of law.
He was arrested ON telegraphic dispatch
When these facts were known, Judge Arm
strong ordered the defendant released from
custody. When McNie left the Courtroom
and was half way down the corridor,
Sheriff Harris, of MERGED, who had a
proper warrant with him, took the de-
PENDANT into custody on the same charge.
AT this his brother was about to sue out
another writ, but the prisoner objected,
saying that when he arrived at Fresno he
would be able to prove his innocence. The
cause OF the charge is that some days ago.
when in Fresno, he ingratiaed himself into
the favor of rancher and when the latter
had fallen asleep from the effects of liquor
he had imbibed during the day, McNie
robbed him of $500. Such is the circum-
stantial evidence. For a short time pre-
vious to the robbery McNie was known to
have been financially embarrassed" and
Immediately after the robbery was seen to
have large amount of money. He left
the locality soon after the affair, and was
on his way to Canada to join the American
banking colony there, when he was inter-
rupted on his journey through the northern
citrus belt by a Constable and telegraph

about 500.
