WASHINGTON, May 1S.-Judge Brada
ley, OF the supreme court OF the District,
to-day refused to grant the writ OF GER
tiorari applied for by Coxey, Browne and
Jones, the commonweal army leaders,
and thus defeated the hope OF the Cox
eyites Of bringing up for re view the
proceedings in the police court which
ordered their conviction. At 10 O'Clock
tomorrow morning the convicted men
will be brought up before Judge Miller
for sentence, the Judge having now re-
ceived his com mission.
The concluding argument on the ap-
plication for the writ began at 3 o'clock
and ended an hour later. District At
torney Birney appeared for the govern-
ment, and Congressman Hudson, of
Kansas, and Andrew LipScomb, Of this
city, for the Coxeyites. Mr.. Birney
oppose d the granting OF the writ on the
ground that the court had no authority
to grant it. Mr.. Hudson contended that
the police court was tribunal inferior
to Judge Bradley's court, and Mr., Lips
comb held thai the law which grants
the USE of the Capitol grounds, under
which the commonwealers were con-
victed, was unconstitutional, because it
delegated the power of suspension to
others than members OF Congress.
Judge Bradley, in his decision, said
that it was not within his jurisdiction
to consider allegations of errors made

dinato to the rights Of the people in

| erence to it. On the whole l do not
think that such q case has been made
| out as would justify the court in exer--

doubted tho fact at all would issue the
writ. The writ OF certiorari is therefore
refused"
Nothing now romans to the men,
but 10 await Judgment in the police
court. Judge Miller, who received his
new con omission to-day, will probably
sentence them tomorrow morning. Tho
penalty prescribed for each of the two
offenses of which they have been founo
guilty is 500 fine or sixty days in jail,
or both.

contained complete assortment of
snakes. toads, frogs and other creep
ing things.
He talked so much to Grimes
about the mlttsr that he made him
believe that he could feal the crea-
tlres crawling about inside him.
"Dr, Ike applied his hoodOo bag to
Grimes stomach and claimed he re-
moved two snakes. Before a second
application Of the bag could be made
the patient died in horrible agony.
