"A RESPITE is
HAD FOR HILL
Judge De Haven Refuses to
Grant a Writ Of
Habeas Corpus.
The Execution Stayed by an
Appeal to the United
States Court.
It Is Hoped That the Governor May
Be Induced to Exercise
Clemency.

Evidently the Supreme Court OF the
United States is to become the receptacle
for the criminal business of the California
State courts, for again has that body been
asked to interfere 10 prevent the hanging
of a murderer.
Yesterday afternoon, at 5 80, application
was made to District Judge De Haven, in
cham bers, for a writ of habeas corpus in
the case of Benjamin L. Hill, the Oakland
wife murderer who was to have been
hanged this morning. The writ was
asked for on the grounds that new ana
important evidence had been found
| whereby it was hoped to prove that Hill
was not only insane at the present time,
but that he had killed his wife in the heat
of passion over her actions. Judge De
Haven declined to issue the writ on the
| ground that the petition itself showed
that Hill was not entitled TO it.
| Immediately following the denial Of the
writ Attorney Eugene Deuprey and M. c.
| Chapman, for the petitioner, tied a mo-
| ton for an appeal from the decision to
| the Supreme Court of the United States
and the Judge gave the order allowing the
| appeal, ordering that the petitioner give
| bond in the sum of $500 for costs and
| damages. T. Z. Dargie and II. II. Lynch
| qualified and entered upon the bond and
| the papers were duly FLED before the clerk
| and the order granted.
| Dewitt Hill, brother of the condemned
| man, and Mr.. Chapman took the gasoline
launch Augusta and carried the Deputy
| United States Marshal to San Quentin,
| where the papers were served upon War
den Hale at about IL o'clock last night.
| When asked last evening upon what
| grounds the appeal was based Mr.. Chap
man said that additional testimony had
| been discovered regarding Hill which he
| believed would induce the Governor to
commute the sentence. He said that 1t
could be proved that the prisoner Was
undoubtedly insane and thar there was a
| hereditary taint of insanity in him. He
| also said that he believed 1t could be
| shown to the satisfaction of the Governor
that Hill had killed his wife in the heat
| of passion over her avowal OF 1ntdelty.
| There was other testimony which would
also have a bearing ia influencing the
Governors action.
| If the matter reached the Supreme
! Court of the United States, in the event of
| the Governor refusing to grant the COM
mutation, it would be shown there that
| the man had not been properly tried and
that the Police Court of Oakland was not
a legal body and consequently not entitled
| TO file information with the Superior
| Court. He asserted that three similar
| cases had been so decided by the State
| Supreme Court. and believed that the
prese MT case was even stronger than the

NEW York, Feb. l8-John e. Searles
secretary and treasurer of the Amer.
lean Sugar Refining company, when he
resumed the witness chair, before the
trust investigation committee, was
greeted with the question by Chairman
Lexow:
"Have you those figures with you,
Mr.. Searles?"
II have" he replied.
Senator Lexow then questioned Mr..
Searles as to the margin of profit be.
tween the raw and refined material
during the five years preceding the
creation of the sugar trust.
Mr.. Searles, in reply, said that the
average margin Of profit for the FIVE
years preceding the trust was 1854 of a
cent per pound, and during the five
subsequent it was 1885 per pound.
els it not true that the average price
of the raw material after the trust
dropped 1907 per cent pound, while
the charge for the refined increased
.l76 per pound?"
Undoubtedly, SIR"
Mr.. Searles commended that as the
years preceding the trust were years of
disaster in the sugar business. there
could not be any fair basis of COMPARE
son placed in regard to the figures for
the five years succeeding the formation
of the trust. He denied that there was
a sevenfold capitalization of the stock
of the company.

A dispatch to The Times from Canea
says the commanders of the foreign
squadrons sent a joint note to Ismail
Bey. the newly appointed governor of
Crete, informing him that they had adj

withdraw from Cretan waters. They
requested the governor, Ismail Bey, to
find way of notifying the insurgents
of this fact and of summoning them
To Yield Up Their Arms,
also of informing them that the powers
had taken measures to prevent Greece
from interfering in the affairs of Crete.
An Italian officer was also dispatched
with flag of truce to the lines of the
insurgents of Akrotiri. He delivered
the message, but the chief of the insur-
gents replied that they would maintain
their present position, and send def
mite reply in behalf Of the revolution

will probably depend upon the course
adopted by the commander of the
