THE WRIT THAT FAILED.
How Hackett Managed to Evade
Utah Justice-Wherein the In
dictment Was Defective.

Sheriff Belnap returned yesterday
and bring back Hackett, the en-
bezzler, so badly wanted in Ogden
for his connection with the Farmers
and Mechanics bank. Hackett, it
seems, had no trouble in preventing
requisition papers from being issued. A
report was made to the governor of
Nebraska by Edward p. Smith, deputy
attorney-general, and on it the gov
ernor based his refusal to issue requi-
sition papers. Following was the re-
port:
I have examined the papers in the
matter of the eXtradition for George
Hackett, and in my opinion the order
ought not TO issue. The Indictment
against this party, a copy of which is
attached to the application for the
writ, charges that George Hackett, to-
Sether with other parties, conspired,
combined, confederated and agreed to-
gether to obtain by false and fraudu-
lent representations certain sums of
money from the parties named in the
indictment. 1t does not charge that
these parties did in fact defraud any
person of any money, nor does it
charge that the defendants therein
named did any overt or positive act for
the purpose OF carrying into effect the
conspiracy into which they entered. l
think the indictment is fatally defect
i've, in that it fails to set forth any
facts that would constitute a violation
of the laws of. Utah or of this state
For these reasons l could not recon-
mend that the application for the
requisition be granted"
The sheriff did not see Hackett, but
affidavits presented at the hearing
stated that he is sick with consump-
ton; that he was an exemplary citizen
Of Nebraska, and had been so for four
years. Since leaving Ogden Hackett
has married. The Omaha officers
showed the sheriff every courtesy, but
the faulty indictment, drawn several
years ago, vitiated the entire case.
Since the Indictment was rendered the
grand jury system has been super
seeded and it is very doubtful if any
thing can be done to punish Hackett
Even if the statute of limitations does
not bar further prosecution, it might
be argued that proceedings must be
by grand jury Indictment.

afternoon our town was thrown into a

two men from Fayette, roaming the
low foothills in very close proximity

pursued into the field, passing dwell
irgs in their course
Word was sent out, and soon some so
men and boys on horseback were in
pursuit, and surrounded the beasts in
short order. Both lions were lassoed
and brought into town and are now
in captivity, a curiosity and wonder

Before being caught one of them was
shot in the leg. The other was not
injured at all. and the boys are hoping
