Fore Fails to Get Bail.

John P. Fore had a hearing before
Judge w. P. Cassidy at this place last
Wednesday and Thursday on writ of
habeas corpus sued out for the pur-
pose of securing bail until the next
term of the Giro nit Court. Fore was
represented by Hon. A. G. McNair and
the State by Hons. III. Cassidy and r.
N. Miller. The attorneys for the State
contended that this application for
bail presented case of res adiudicata
in other words, that Fore, having been
denied bail last fall by Chancellor
Conn, sitting as a conservator of the
peace, his remedy was to take an ap-
peal to the Supreme Court from that
decision.
After listening to able arguments by
counsel on both sides, Judge Cassidy
sustained this contention and Fore's
counsel appealed from this ruling to
the Supreme Court. AS the Supreme
Court has now adjourned until Octo
Der, it is not likely to reach the case
before the next meeting of the Circuit
Court in this county; hence Fore is
quite certain to remain in Jail until
that time.
