HABEAs CORPUS.
An Effort Being blade TO Discharge J. F. Bel
lew, Win Good Chances Of Success.

The trial of the case of the state against
J. f. Bellew was continued in Justice
Jones' court yesterday, but not ended
there by any means. County Attorney
Morris made astrong argument, but when
it came TO the argument Of the defense,
they made none, but on the contrary went
to the district court with the evidence sub
mitted in Jones court and FLED petition
for the release of Bellew on writ OF
habeas corpus, alleging that there was
nothing in the evidence submitted toprove
that Bellew is guilty of the crime with
which he is charged. Messrs. O'Bryan,
Amidon and Eckstein are the attorneys
for the defense and they are certainly
working for everything there is in it to
get their client his freedom.
When the petition for the writ of babeas
corpus was presented to Judge Reed he
read it very carefully aud deliberately and
then sent for County Attorney Morris,
who, of course, insisted that the petition
should not be granted, whereupon tomor-
row morning was set for the hearing of
the arguments for and against the petit
ton.
The attorneys for the defense are conf.
dent of winning in which event Frank
Bellew will go free and can never again be
prosecuted for the same offence. Several
other good lawyers. agree with the attor-
neys of the defense but of course Morris
argument tomorrow morning may change
the aspect of affairs. The technicality Of
the case seems to be that Below was forg-
ing note, whereas he only forged an
endorsement If, Of course, he forged any
thing.
In the Justices court the defense offered
no evidence whatever Below will remain
in the custody of the sheriff till the case is
disposed of, as the judge of the district
court had no power to fix bond under
which he could be released.
