Of Habeas Corpus.
II refused tho Alleged Counterfeiter
Goes to Connecticut.

Russell B. Hoyt, the alleged counter
feiter, has probably more command over
his nerves than any man the Secret Ser
vice Department has ever had in their
hands. When his brother, Lorenzo NJ
Hoyt, went on the stand yesterday and
virtually sent him to the penitentiary
for life, Russell never even winked, and
! seemed to think the whole examination
an everyday affair.
To-day Russell again gave an instance
o. mis- self-control. For the first time
since the arrest of the four alleged lead
ers Of the gang, Russell and Lorenzo
| Hoyt met face to face. 1t was in the
| third-fioor corridors Of the Federal
Building. where United States Commits
sfoner Alexander is examining Russell
Hoyt and Hill. Russell was in charge
Of Deputy United States Marshal, and
was hobbling along with his paralyzed
legs, when he almost bumped into
Lorenzo.
