 Bion's application for writ of habeas corpus 1 No error. Reasons by Loomis, J. | A VERY HEALTHY DECISION
 The Bion case has excited much attention fo years past not only in Connecticut, but in othe states, and the supreme court decision in tn case will be ratified by the public just one The Hartford Courant, speaking of the case says:
 The decision of the supreme court in the Bio l case is a very healthy one for law-abiding cit
 zens. This man has vowed to kill Lyman Dur
 ming of North Canaan. He attempted it nor
 than once, and has served one sentence for il
 He was given his release on condition that , would go abroad and he did sail from the cour
 try, but he returned again. In New York stat | he repeated his declaration that he would Xii
 Mir. Cunning and then he came into Connecticu
 and was caught near the Dunning residence. Ou 7 west he would have been run up tree by th and put in jail under such heavy bonds to kee the peace that it amounts to Q sentence of in prisonment. Application was made to get hil
 out and the courts refused, and this decision
 sustained. Mir. Cunning can now sleep nigh
 with less danger of being blown into the ne1
 world-a favor which Bion once undertook to | to the whole household. The prisoner nurses h
 hate and the day he does come out if ever, M 3 Dunning will do well to buy pistol an
 load it. It may seem hard to Bion to keep hi shut up just because he wants to kill somebod v | but how about the lawabdng citizen who ma ' | not want to be killed?
