HANEY in HONOR BOUND.
His Father and Family Morally His
ROndsmen.

Whatever else may result from the action
of Gov. Altgeld, of Illinois, in resembling
Charles F. Haney's requisition, it will not
in any way interfere with the return Of Mr..
Haney to Minneapolis and his appearance
before the grand jury of Hennepin county.
This, of course, providing he regains his
health.
The fact that an effort was to be made to
induce Gov. Altgeld to take the action which
he finally did was known to at least one of
the gentlemen interested in the investigation
and probably to several of them. Rev. George
R. Tanner Palmer, brother-in-law OF Haney,
had no sooner returned from Springfield to
the bedside of Mr.. Haney with the promise
Of the governor to revoke the requisition
than kilograms were dispatched by Mr.. Haney
himself to certain Of the reformers in this
city stating that such action had been taken.
lieved that Rev. Palmer would be success
full in his appeal to the governor for Haney' s
release is not known. They did not worry
any, and, a matter of fact, cared little
what Gov. Altgeld did, inasmuch as they
have the promise of the aged father of
Haney, with that of Rev. Mr.. Palmer and
other of Haney's relatives, that he will be
allowed to leave Normal for no other place
than Minneapolis. In fact, the honor of the
entire Haney family at Normal rests upon
their placing Mr.. Haney in Minneapolis just
soon as his physicians declare that he is
in fit state to travel.
81 would as soon have and would feel as
safe with the promise Of Charlie Haney' 8
father as the bond of any man living. When

would not allow his son out of his sight
until he had reached Minneapolis and was
prepared to prove his innocence or accept
the consequences If found guilty, no one
could doubt the determination of that old
man to stand by what he said. In this prom
Use he is backed by the other members of
the family, and believe that Charlie Haney,
himself, has no intention whatever of at
tempting to escape. If no influence at all
were brought to bear upon him he would
come to Minneapolis of his own accord" So
spoke one of the reformers yesterday.
In reply to the suggestion that promises
often given in good faith and with the de-
termination on the part of the making
the promise to keep it were sometimes not
fulfilled the reformer in question stated
that preparations to counteract such an
emergency had been made.
''Whle we thoroughly believe that Haney
would come to Minneapolis In any event,
we are taking no chances. 1t will be i'm
possible for him to leave Normal without
our knowing it. If an effort should be made
to carry him away at midnight tonight we
would know of it as quickly as a message
could be transmitted between Normal and
this city. You must not go away with the
idea that we are not doing business as il
should be done. We are not relying wholly
upon promises, although we feel that we
could safely dc So"
The feeling which existed among the mer
instrumental in bringing the affairs Of vari-
Gus city officials before the grand jury die
not, however, appear to be shared by the
county officials. These gentlemen did not ap
pear to be in the very best of spirits yester-
day morning over the action of Gov. Alt
