SCHNEIDER DENIED A WRIT.
An Unsuccessful Application to the District
Supreme Cnurt.

An Unsuccessful Application to the District
Supreme Cnurt.
The Court in General Term today considered
an application made to Chief Justice Bingham
for writ of habeas corpus on Jerome B.
Burke, warden of the Jail, on the petition OF
Judge ]. NJ. Wilson, ". f. Mattingly and A. A.
Hoehling. jr., in behalf Of Howard ].
Schneider.
1t is claimed in the petition that the jadg-
ment and order of commitment in Schneider g
case is unlawful and void, and that the right of
an impartial jury was denied him. thus depriv-
ing him Of his constitutional right to be tired
by an impartial jury.
The petition is signed Howard J. Schneider
byJ. NJ. Wilson, his attorney, and the state
ment is made that Schneider 'has refused to
read or to permit to be read to him or to exc
cute petition similar to the foregoing in his
individual name.
THAT, in their opinion, he was unable to COM
prehend either the purport or the necessity for
the petition, and that his mental condition is
such that, in the opinion of these petitioners,
he is unable to intelligently comprehend or
make affidavit to the same"
In the court today District Attorney Birney
said that the petition was not signed by
Schneider and ough. not to be received.
The point was argued by Mr.. Mattingly.
THE WRIT REFUSED.
Chief Justice Bingham said the court would
refuse to allow the writ Of habeas corpus and
it mattered no. what we're the reasons Of the
court for so doing, for it Was enough for the
purposes of counsel for the defendant that the
court should refuse to allow the writ.
Mr.. Mattingly thereupon submitted a pre-
pared order to be made by the court Diminishing
the writ.
Judge Cox suggested that the order should
read that the court refused, instead Of dis
missed, the writ.
WRIT OF ERROR ASKED FOR.
The order was so amended and signed, when
Mr.. Mattingly asked that q writ Of error be
allowed. This was argued by Mr.. Mattingly
and Mr.. Birney, the latter claiming that the
application should be made to the United States
Supreme Court. The argument continued
until recess.
THE WRIT OF ERROR REFUSED.
Upon the assembling Of the court after re-
cess, Chief Justice Bingham stated that after
examining the question, and especially after
considering the decision of the Supreme Court
in the Cross case, tho court had decided to re-
fuse to allow the writ of error.
The next move of counsel for Schneider will
undoubtedly be to pray that a writ Of error be
allowed'by the United States Supreme Court or
by one Of its justices.
