by J. Scott Ferguson. of this city. and
on the other side of the table sat Chas.
y OBrien, r. Il. Scandrett. Chas. A.
Ashley and a. O. Fording. The petition
to Judge Burlington declared the
whole proceeding concerning the ar
rest illegal and without authority of
law and in violation of the constitu-
ton of the United States. In the an
swer to the writ. Detective Bendel
claimed that he had a legal right to
execute the warrant anywhere he
might find the defendant. and that the
latter voluntarily entered the carriage
at st. Louis, knowing that he was to
be taken to Pittsburgh. After the
argument the court took the papers and
placed the prisoner in the custody of a
United States marshal until bail is fur
nished in the sum of So. 900 to abide by
the order of court. 1t is thought that
Attorney Ferguson will go on the bond,
and that Mr.. Won der Ahe will be re-
leased from custody.
