 Habeas Corpus Proceedings.
 TOPEKA, Kan, Sept 29.--Webb Me Nall will not issue license to the New York Mutual Life Insurance Go. 1t may be that Judge Williams suspected as much, for he said, in effect, that the company can do business without Mir. McNalPs license, though the company is entitled to its mandatory injunction. The programme is for McNall to keep still and wait for an order from Judge Williams to issue the license. The order, if one be issued, is to be put in McNall's desk and left there, but no license is to be issued In due course of time it is expected that Judge Williams will order Me Nall to be arrested for contempt.s If he does, McNall is to go to jail and be made as comfortable there as the jail authorities will permit, while Attor- ney-Generai Boyle shaii go to Wash- ington to ask the United States SUI preme court for writ of habeas cor pus. That would bring the question squarely before the supreme court in a very short period of time It would bring q decision sooner than any thing else. Beyond that there is no pro- gramne

How Convict Worked His Way Out of tho
 Kansas Penitentiary.

hAHbAS lEhitcnIiHry.
 TOPEKA, Kan, Sept. 2o.- Homer A. Call convict, has been released from the penitensiary- given an uncondi- tional pardon by Gov. Leedy. Call was sent up from Labette county for a term of 13 years for assault upon Laura Havely, girl under IS years old. A week ago Call wrote Gov. Leedy and told him that he had taken the girl tc Missouri and was properly married there. He stated that upon his return the brother of the girl prosecuted him maliciously and had him convicted. Gov. Leedy wrote Call and told him that if he would send for the girl and marry her tt the the peiIiiiit ts,Svsiiii- t,vii tiary he would pardon him. Call agreed to this, and few days ag O a girl appeared at the penitentiary and said her name was Havely. She asked for Call and the two went before Chap lain Balleau and were married. Calls pardon arrived from the goVavnor the next day and he was free. Since the marriage it has developed that the woman who appeared at the peniten- tiary was not Miss Havely at all, but an imposter. Miss Havely's brother has written State Auditor Morris that his sister is in Texas, and has not been away from her home; that she is to be married in q few days to a Texas man Call, however, is free, and he cannot again be placed in jail, as he was m. conditionally pardoned
