Hot SPRINGS, Ark, Oct. 2l.-Judse
Leatherman has released CorCett OH Il
writ Of habeas corpus. The case ter
minated just as everybody here en-
pected it would. Even those who are
bitterly opposed TO the contemplated
glove contest coming off in Hot Springs
Or any other section Of Arkansas felt
that where there seemed to he such ~
Slight foundation for operation undet
the law, when it came to test a de-
cision would be forthcoming that would
be unsatisfactory to them. Governor
Clarke was apparently the first to dis.
cover that there was no statutory pro-
hibition to prize fighting or glove con-
tests; that the act of 1891 had not passed
the house Us amended by the senate;
that instead of the bill as amended pass
ing as constitutionally provided, by roll
CALL it simply passed by a viva voce
vote, hence, was not legally passed.
