THOMPSON RETURNS no JAIL.
The Argument on the Habcas Corpus
Not Concluded.

MOI tOnCluucu'
The application for writ ofhabcas corpus
against Gen. Crocker, warden of the JAIL to
produce Robert NJ. Thompson, the man who
was committed by United States COmmis-
sioncr Bundy on the It'll instant to await
transportation to Tennessee as fugitive
from Justice. and the cause of his detention,
granted by Justice Montgomery on Thursday
last. was returned to that court yesterday,
Thompson was in court and the cause of
his detention. as shown by the return on the
writ, was that he had been committed by
the commissioner on an affidavit made by
Special Agent Roome, who arrested him.
Mir. Jctf Chandler, counsel for Thump-
son. moved TO strike out the return on the
witt, as itwas not sufficient. lie claimed
that the return should show all pkhe testi-
mony taken by Commissioner Bundy, the
affidavit made by ROome, a copy of the i'll
dictment and Of the court record Of the
case. Mr.. Coylc, for the government, joined
issue with him on that ground and said that
all the warden could do was done: that
the warden had no means of knowing what
transpiIed before the commissioners. The
motion was argued for over an hour, and
then Justice Montgomery took the case I'M
der advisement, set Friday next for n hear
ing, and decided that the bail set by the
commissioner, -, 900, was the right amount.
Thompson was unable to give 1t and went
back To Jail.
