by his friends that he had been foully
dealt with.

Sioux City Journal, %: In regard to
the compromise alleged as the cause OF
Taylor's return, II. NJ. Benedict, his
brother-i law and companion in his
flight, states in an interview that the
cause Ut 1'aylor's return was only a part
OF his plan, as he intended to return as
soon as the excitement had died down
and that he did not return until all ef-
forts toward a compromise with the state
had failed. Opinion is divided as to the
possible action Of the court. in the ha-
oeas corpus case, but it is generally be-
lieved that the lower court will be ID.
held. What action will be taken by the
attorneys for the defense in case OF an
unfavorable opinion for their client is
not known, but the attorneys for the
state expect that an application for a
writ OF error will be made and the case
will drag along for some time yet before
a final disposal.
