HABEAS CORPUS PROCEEDINGS
WE'RE POSTPONED IN THE
CASE OF DEARBORN.
THE STATE MILLERs IN SESSION.
Members From the Southern Part
of the State Are at the
West.

Inspector James G.. Doyle returned
yesterday morning from Baltimore,
Md, to which place he went several
weeks ago with requisition papers
for the Northwestern National bank
forgerS. He returned alone, owing
to the fact that July 10 the habeaS
corpus proceedings in the case of
Arthur Dearborn, the prisoner whom
Doyle went after, were continued
until August II, at which time they
will be heard in the United States
court. AS will be remembered, De-
tective Howard returned to Mime
apolis last week with Hartley, one
of the forgers, and Doyle remained
in Baltimore pending a decision in
the habeaS corpus proceedings begun
by Dearborn and Fisher and their
friends. The local police do not
want Fisher, but are very anxious
to get Dearborn, Paying Teller Far

DEARBORN TRIED TO ESCAPE.
At the time Dearborn was arrested
by the Baltimore detectives he was
taken to the office and left in the
custody Of an officer for a short
time. In the room was a bicycle.
Dearborn coolly got up and exam
ined the bicycle, remarking what a
fine one it was and then resumed his
seat. In a few minutes he got up
and began looking the bicycle over
again and, when the police officer
was not looking, with a bound was
out through an open window, jump
ing some eight feet to the ground
below. The officer followed and. in
jumping from the window. sprained
his ankle. He stuck to the chase.

when Dearborn had got about three
blocks the officer threw his club
striking Dearborn squareIy between
the shoulders and knocking him
down. This shows the desperate
character of the man.

detective Doyle is of the opinion
that during the past five months
the gang of Dearborn, Hartley and
FISHER have cleared over SIS, 900 from
banks through the country. and
that they are as slick a gang Of

OF the falling of the floor of the
Baltic Avenue Casino in Atlantic
City, N. j., during the social session
OF the Elks last week, at which De-
tectlve Doyle was present and re-
ceived slight injuries, he said that
ne was sitting within a few feet of
ii. w. Foote and the rest of the
Minneapolis delegation when the
floor caved. Doyle injured his leg
and right arm. The season at At
lant1c City, the detective says, is at
its height, and the town is filed with
thousands of wealthy strangers in
its hundreds of hotels. The criminal
class there have a large representa-
ton and keep the police constantly
busy. The day before the detective
left Atlantic City a wealthy lady's
room in one of the hotels was broken
into by burglars and the woman's
skull crushed when she ATTEMPTED
TO make an cutlery. The thieves were
after diamonds and money. The
noise they made attracted a relative
from an adjoining room, and the
burglars set upon him, also crushing
his skull. When Doyle left At
lantic City it was thought that both
man and woman would die. Alto
gether, Detective Doyle had quite
an exciting experience since he left
this city. In case the habeas cor
pus proceedings in Dearborn's case
are decided favorably to Minnesota
by the federal court in August. De-
tective Doyle will return to Balti-
more to bring Dearborn to Mime
apoliS.
