COURT REFUSED THE WRIT
Habeas Corpus Case Argued Before
Judge Hagner.
He Credited the Testimony of Judge
Mills aud Clerk Harper Rather
Than Counsel for Defense.

An interesting babeas corpus case was
court yesterday. The proceedings were
witnessed by large number of law yers
and court officials, in addition 70. the regu-
lar criminal court audience. The case was
that OF Robert Ware, i colored man, w no
was convicted by j udgc Mills In the police
court last week OF larceny from the per-
son. Mr.. Tracy L. Jeffords and MFR. Jones
represented Mr.. Ware
Their contention WAS that neither Mr..
Ware nor either of his attorneys had waived
the hight OF trial by jury, and that the
clerk or the court had not asked If iury
trial was waived. Also they stated in { heir
preliminary remarks that they would prove
that an exception was taken and that
Judge Mills refused to grant them an an.
peal on their exception.
Judge Mills testified that no excep-
ton had been taken by the defense. The
clerk OF the court, Mr. Jos. Harper. testi
fled that he had asked Ware If he waived
trial by jury and that the answer had been
given that such trial was waived Mr..
Harper's record also showed that sucf
trial by jury had been waived.
Mr. Jeffords had affidavits from him
self and Mr.. Jones and one other to the
effect that the trial had not been waived.
MI. Jeffords also contended that the
printed record Of the court-printed and
bound In advance the effect that trial
by jury was waived was not competent
evidence.
Judge Hagner, summing up, said tho
lawyers who made their afftdavlts mt
Their testimony against that or Judge Mills
and Clerk Harper. In the heat and excite
Inent of trial 1t could be conceived that
they might forget such matter as waving
jury trial, but that the clerk of the court
whose duty it was to make note of that
very matter would not be likely to over
look the point.
Also the Judge In the case, according tn
the law, must note on his minutes any
exception taken. Judge Mills minutes did
not SLOW such note and his memory was
very clear that no exception was taken
although it may have been the intention of
the counsel to do SO.
Judge Hagner refused TO issue the writ

Two women attempted TO end their ex-
istence yesterday by the poison route. one
was Mrs Haskins Drewry and the other
Miss Anna Lambert. The former wanted
TO die because her husband forbade her
visiting her mother, and the latter did not
give any reason for wishing to hurry up
her departure for the mystic beyond.
Mrs Dlewry lives with her husband at
the corner Of South Capitol and streets,

Ness. For Seine reason the husband does
BOJ wish ais wife TO visit her mother and
the wife has, at times, seemed determined
20 do this, in spite OF the protests OF Mr..
DreNry. Yesterday the old wound was
opened and Mrs. Drewry wanted To see
her mother and after some words the
wife prccured 4 small vial of laudanum
and swallowed it.
Fortunately her condition was soon
discovered and she was sent to the En4er
gency Hospital, where Drs. Rahr and
Juenenlann succeeded in getting the poison
out Of her.

After q short time the lady was permit
