Chicago. Dec. 26.-The A. E. Whitman
habeas corpus case was up again today
in Judge Dunn's court. but the question
as TO whether Whitman is to be sent
to North Carolina on the charge OF pro-
curing money by false pretensss or re-
leased, was still left undecided. Judge
Dunn did decide on the arguments
which were heard last week that the
governors warrant upon which his ex-
tradition is asked. is not sufficient TO
hold him. for the reason that IL does
not show that a crime was committed
by the defendant In North Carolina.
The judge said that he had carefully
examined the statutes Of North Caroli-
ma and had found in that state a man
might procure money by false pretens-
es without committing an indictable Of
Tense.
"All false pretenses are not indicta-
