Writ of Habeas Corpus Refused.
-19-sun&w wed-1m

Atlanta, Feb. "A special from Macon to the Constitution says that Judge Elm cry Speer of the United States district court today refused to grant the applica- ton of Mrs. Nobles for writ of habeas corpus. W. c. Glenn, her attorney, has filed petition for the appeal of the case to the United States supreme court.
 The attorneys for Mrs. Nobles sued out writ of lunacy before the ordinary of Bibb county and before 1t came to be heard the sheriff of Twiggs county came to take her back from the Bibb county jail to Twiggs county to be resentenced. The sheriff was proceeding to do so when the attorneys asked the ordinary to take Jurisdiction and stop the sheriff. He de- clned on the ground that the lunacy proceedings ought to have been institu- ted in Twiggs county, where the crime was committed.
 Mrs. Nobles' attorneys then went be- fore Judge Felton and asked that the or dinary be required to take the jurisdic- ton.
 Judge Felton declined to interfere and it was then that the attorneys for the old woman asked Judge Speer of the federal court to grant writ of habeas corpus to keep her in Bibb county. This today Judge Speer refused.
 Gus Fambles, her partner in crime, will likely be taken back to Twiggs county at once and resentenced, as there was no writ of lunacy for him.
 This proceeding will stay the execu- ton probably for long time.

Unexpected Death of Two Highly Respected

Unexpected Death of Two Highly Respected
 Citizens-Crenshaw for Johnston.
 Luverne, Feb. 4.-(Special)-On last Saturday while MT James s. Saunders was assisting Rutledge lodge Ancient, Free and Accepted Masons in the confer ring of degrees upon a candidate he was suddenly stricken with paralysis and fell to his knees. A number of the breth- ren rushed to his assistance and tried in every manner to relieve his suffering, which was intense. MT. Saunders grew worse and, securing a. stretcher he was carried to his home and breathed his last in a few moments thereafter. It was a great and sudden shock to his devoted wife, as he had left home two hours be- fore in perfect health. He has been a Mason for nearly fifty years, and died while actively engaged in working for the noble order. He will be buried with Masonic honors today. Many members of the grand lodge of Masons will re- member MT. Saunders, as he has been a constant attendant at its annual commu- nications for more than twenty-five years.
 Another sudden and sad death occur red in Rutledge yesterday from the same cause, that of paralysis. The estimable and much beloved wife of Hon. I. H. Parks of that city died at 10 o'clock, and
