! by the readers of THE TIMES that Diemer was
| arrested on Thursday by Detective Lacey on
| the charge of swindling Francis Marshall, an
| old pensioner, out of $40. One of the court
officials also cut in good word for Diemer
| and asked that the charge be dismissed Dut
| Mr.. Mullowuey was firm and said the case
| must come to trial. He regretted very much
| to be compelled 10 prosecute Mr.. Diemer,
whom he had known for long time, but his
| duty to the public compelled him to sink his
| personal feelings in the matter. The case
will probably come up in a day or two.

Petition for Writ of Habeas Corpus-Ar-
thur Cromwell, who is now in jail for viola
ton of the policy laws of the District. yester-
day filed a petition asking Judge Bingham TO
| grant writ Of habeas corpus releasing him.
| He sets forth that he was sentenced upon a
plea of guilty 10 pay $500 fine and to serve
! two terms in jail, one for $50 days, the other
for 364 days. On April l his term began, and
on May "a, in view OF his willingness to be of
service in bringing other offenders 10 justice,
his sentence was committed by President
Cleveland to six months
By his exemplary conduct he claims he has
earned one months time, but on account of
an incorrect construction put upon the sta
tutes by the iaiier he is being held contrary 10
law.
The law gives a convict two months time
in the years imprisonment as a reward for
good behavior. CromweIrs counsel holds
that this means five days month and, there
fore, his client having served five months is
entitled to count twenty-five days in addition,
and upon serving five days more should have
gone free. This would have set him free
on September 6.
