MILWAUKEE, May 2l.-It has just leaked
out that an order discharging #. L. Day,
ex-president of the Plankinton bank, from
custody has been entered. The order,
which consists of but few lines, was
filed quietly several weeks ago by Judge
Goodland. AT the time the jury found
Mr.. Day not guilty on the count on which
District Attorney Brazee chose to try him,
Mr.. Brazee objected to his being dis
charged, for the reason, as he stated, that
he desired to try him on the other count
of the indictment. Mr.. Days attorneys
insisted that their client had right to
go free, as the district attorney had Sc
lected which count he would go to trial
on, and having been cleared by the jury,
Mr.. Day was entitled TO discharge. In
the same connection, it is said, the cases
of the Plankinton bank will expire by
limitation June |.
