Ter, +. c. Niemeyer, butcher,
the seven imprisoned eouncilmen
of Covington, were before Judge
Tarvin Wednesday at 10 a. m,
in the hearing of the habeas cor
pus writ issued by Judge Hodge at
Newport Tuesday.
An effort tn swear Judge Tarvin off
the bench in the case on the ground
that he was an interested party failed.
The Judge said his only interest was
to prevent certain persons from acting
as anarchists"
Then there were legal tits on the
writ. Attorney Fislxe cited legal au-
thorities. Theodore Hallam retorted
to the judge, who spoke of his pres
ence: You are offering me an insult
and can not respond"
The Judge refused to release the men
on Judge Hodges writ and said he
would allow the prisoners to make a
new appeal in habeas corpus before
him.
His ground for refusing Judge
Hodges writ was that it had been is
sned before the Imprisonment of the
councilmen.
The councilmen were rccommitted.
Theodore IIallam was told that he was
in contempt.
All the prisoners show evidence of
close confinement, several requiring
the attendance of physician and all
appearing in need of rest. 1t was this
which probably induced Judge Tarvin
to urge them, before adjourning court
Wednesday afternoon, to end the I'M
fortunate affair and give him oppor-
tunity to let them return to their
homes and families. His address,
however, couched in the friendliest
terms. passed UNDECIDED and they were

Arthur Waldron was one of the prin-
cipal witnesses for the state. In con-
