Of their departure or very shortly there
after news came from Chicago that Harris
had been released on habeas corpus, and
had drawn his cash from the banks and
continued his flight. Now it is race be
tween Harris and the requisi-
tion papers with the chances all
in favor Of the former-that he will
be brought back to Delaware is not at all
likely. He and his companion arc un.
doubtedly by this time safe from all in

discovered, it was heralded all over the
country by the dispatches from Milford
that "his victim was a beautiful young
belle. etc. whereas, II common every
day testimony is to be believed, she is not
only decidedly homely, but quite old
enough to have vote even if the legal
age were raised several years.
The Dill case still drags its slow length
along in the county court and is likely to
occupy a considerable portion if not all
the rest of the week. The state has the
call yet and things are looking rather
gloomy for Dill. It is plain that Attor-
ney General Biggs believes him to be
guilty and he is working straight for
conviction.
