REMINDED ID THE STATE
 Gses Completion in State Courts Be- fore Federal Intervention. DECISION JUSTICE PECkHAM An Attempt to Obtain interference of the United States Court When No Use for It
 Seemed to Have Existed

Washington, Feb. 3l.-In the case of William Gqdce and others under sndlct- ment in Texas for violating the antitrust Saw of that state, the United States sti- preme court today held that the federal circuit court had interfered in granting a writ of habeas corpus when no proper exi- gency arose for such interference and therefore reversed the decision, remandtng the prisoners to the custody of the state officials. The court did not enter upon the merits of the antitrust law.
 Grice and others engaged as agents for In McLennon county, Texas, the charge of conspiracy against the antitrust law and he appealed to the federal circuit count for a wrih of habeas corpus before his trial.
 In deciding the case, Justice Pecl1ham said that wf1ile the circuit court has juris- ddction in such cases as this, nevertheless 'circmt courts ought not to exercise that Jurisdiction by the discharge of prisoner unless in cases of peculiar urgency; that instead of discharging them they should leave prisoners to be dealt with by the courts of the states and that after a final determination of the case by the state court the federal courts will even then generally leave the petitioner to his remedy by writ of error from this court."
 The court proceeds to say that the juris dlction is an exceedingly delicate one for the federal courts, and should not be en- courage unless in most exceptional cases. After reviewing the case at some length, the justice adds: This whole case is clearly but an attempt to obtain the in- terferenee of a court of the United States when no extraordinary or peculiar cir cumstances exist in favor of such interfer- ence. Under the facts we think no suff1- cient case was made out for the exercise of Jurisdiction. We come to this decision irrespective of the question of the valid ity of the statute, and without passing upon the same or expressing any opinion in regard thereto" 2 1T
 He adds that if Grice's appeal had been after conviction a different question would have been presented, but under these cir cumstances no other course than that taken was possible, and hence fthe merits of the state law cannot be entered upon. Directions were therefore issued for the
