The burglars became moro ambitious
and reckless and laid plans to make q
big haul by robbing the Watauga Bank.
Their plans were we'll laid and it was
only by chance that they were frus-
trated. Cashier p v. St. Johns had oc-
casion to stay in the building after Of.
lice hours. He heard singular thud-
like sound. Investigation showed the
sound Came from immediat under
meath tho bank vault and that the Dsnk

Convict, to 90 Free,

Tho Michigan Supreme Court has
denied tho application Of Attorney General
Ellis for mandamus to compel Circuit
Judge Daboll to set aside an order made
several weeks ago dischsrging from state
prison John Wilson, convict sent from
Calhoun county on an indetern,inato SEN
tencc. Tho law providing for such son
tencos was recently declared TO be uncon-
stitutionul and tho attor ney generals con-
tcntion imade on tho hearing Of habeas
corpus proceedings before Judge Daboll
that Wilson should bo returned for re.
sentence was overruled by the latter. Tho
Supreme Court holds that habeas corpus
proceedings In cases In which the circuit
Judge has Jurisdiction cannot be reviewed
by mandamus.
Having previously hold that they cannot
be reviewed by wrlts of error, this means
that thore is no appeal from Debolrs order
and tho convict must be released. Twenty
ono convicts sent up for all manner Of
crimes are now confined In Michigan
prisons on indeterminate sentences, and 1t
is more than probable that oil Of them will
now institute habeas corpus proceedings
md secure their roleaso.
