withstanding the fact that to-day was
the day set FOR them to go TO jail and
begin serving their sentences for con-
tempt OF court. Judge Woods this morn
ing extended the stay Of the sentence to

PENDANTS counsel he also modified his
original order 50 as to make the sen
tcnces cumulative, instead Of concur

case to BEGIN January 6th and IN the
Santa Fe. when me government sell

The defendants COun- i made TINS re-
ouest 10 facilitate the legal proceedings

II is admitted on gu 'ldeS thal no
habo5s corud3 proceeding would have the
effect of freeing the men in the Santa Re
