A, Convict From Floyd County Granted
His Liberty.
CEDAR RAPIDS, Feb 1t--An impor-
tant decision was rendered by Judge
Wolfe in habeas corpus proceeding
a. f. Transo, sentenced on November
.. last, at Charles City to eighteen
months in the Anamosa penitentiary
on conviction of larceny, sought to
secure his liberty on writ, and did SO.
The testimony disclosed the fact that
the grand jury of Floyd county had
indicted Transo on the charge Of
simple larceny, and the trial jury
found him guilty without fixing a value
to the property stolen. Petitioners
counsel argued that the power of a
court to render Judgment in a criminal
case depended upon the degree of guilt
of defendant, which was determined
by the value of the property and that
that value must be found by a jury in
a larceny case such as the one at the
bar; that that question must be sub
mitted, and on that value alone could
the court render Judgment, and that,
as that value had not been fixed by the
jury, the court was without jurisdiction
to sentence the defendant and hence
he should be discharged. Judge Wolfe
gave the convict hlSsliberty.

advices from Honolulu say: There are
large number of conspiracy cases yet
to be tried, and the probabilities are
that the court will sit for two or three
weeks at least. Great interest is
attached TO the forthcoming trial of
the ex-queen. The government claims
to have more than sufficient evidence
to convict her. What her punishment
will be in case of conviction is hard to
conjecture. She is charged with
treason. There are six specifications
in the charge. The military commits
sion has brought in findings in twenty
four cases. The sentences vary much,
all the way from sentence of death to
imprisonment for five years, with fines.
The lowest sentence for treason by the
Hawaiian statute is imprisonment for
five years and fine of not less than
$1,000 The six leaders were al SEN
fenced to be hanged. They are:
Charles T. Gulick, William III. Richard,
William T. Seward, Robert w. Wilcox,
Sam Nowlein. and Henry Bertelman.
Sentence in the last two cases will be
committed, as both men have furnished
valuable evidence for the government
Gulick was born In this country:
Richard is an Englishman; Wilcox is a

who is entitled to the protection of the
