KANSAS STATE NEWS.
Important Decision.


The supreme court at its late sitting
made decision of considerable impoi.
lance. 1t was upon the petition of T.
j. O'Connell for writ of habeas corpus
in which the court ordered the discharge
of the prisoner. The petitioner alleged
that he was unlawfully imprisoned b.
the sheriff of Shawnee county, unde=
an or,lero of Judge Guthrie of the distr*ssss
court, made in aid of execution. 1t APP
pcarcd that ut the conclusion of the en-
animation the Judge made a general
finding that O'Conncll had money and
property in his possession and ander
his control which he unjustly refused to
apply to the payment of his debt, and
ordered the sheriff to arrest and i'm
prison him until he should make full
and complete satisfaction of the judg-
ment and costs. The supreme court
held that:
There IRE two fatal objections to the order of
the Judge committing the prisoner to Jail The
order does not specify the kind OF property or
state the amount Of money the petitioner had
IN his possession: neither does II describe the
property under his control This we think was
necessary. He may not have had property and
money SUFFICIENT 10 satisfy the judgment. II
he had not, 1t would hardly be contcndcd that
ne should be imprisoned for refusing to comply
with an order that he was powcrlcss to obey.
In proceedings in aid Of execution, where an
examination has resulted in the disclosure that
the debtor uniustly refuses 10 apply money or
property which he had In his possession, or un-
der his control TO the satisfaction OF q judy
Glcni rendered against him, the practice is for
the court or Judge TO order the judgment debtor
TO deliver over u certain sum OF money, or turn
out property enough TO satisfy such Judgment
and costs; and then, II he willingly disobeys
such order, the same may be enforced by pro-
ccedlnes for contempt, ana under such proceed
ings may commit him to the Jail OF the county
until the judgment and costs are satisfied
This was not done in the proceedings in aid OF
execution against the petitioner He was given
no opportunity Ia show cause.
OConnell was formerly manager of
the Capital Grocery Co at Topeka, and
attorneys held that the order of the
lower court was substantial imprison-
ment for debt.
