witness in the case. It is claimed that
Perry and Leland had not spoken to
one another for several years at the
time the article was published.
Elliott was one of the principal NOV
erS before the senate in the attempt to
Oust Judge Stuart from his seat on the
bench last spring, and for that reason
he applied for a change of venue from
Judge Stuart's court. but Stuart refused
to grant it. The first trial of the case
resulted in hung jury, but the second
time a special Venire was called and
conviction followed. A motion for
new trial followed, and it was when
this came up for hearing that Elliott
and MOxcey were committed for con-
tempt. Judge Stuart took Offense at
the charges contained in the motion,
which was signed by MOxcey, and in
Elliott's affidavit in support of the mo-
ton, and without giving them a hear
ing he fined them S25 each and ordered
them committed to jail until the nne
should be paid. Elliott Immediately
sent for Judge McElrOy, of the court of
appeals, who released them on a writ
of ha beaS corpus, Teturnable before the
court of appeals in Topeka last night.
The appellants were represented by
Judge Falcon, who was StuartS Op-
ponent in the judicial contest, and by
G. c. Clemens. r. H. LarZelere, sheriff
of DOniphan county, to whom the writ
was addressed, was represented by
County Attorney S. NJ. Brewster and by
Albert Perry, the complaining witness
in the libel suit.
Judge Falcon filed the answers in the
cases. after preliminary motions had
been overruIed in which the offending
affidavit was fully set forth. It was
q lengthy document. setting forth that
after the first trial of the libel case
Elliott had agreed to pay the costs to
have the case dismissed. being advised
that costs would amount to $40 or $50;
that when the fee bill was presented to
him it called for $98; that he had it in
spected by Judge Falcon, who claimed
that the legal fees were only SIS; that
he, Elliott, offered to pay that amount,
and employed an attorney named Bow
ers to file a motion to retaX costs for
him; that instead of allowing the mo-
ton Judge Stuart allowed more costs
to be added; that Elliott did not settle
the costs and Judge Stuart asked If he
was ready for another trial. although
it was the same term of court and he
ought not to have had a second trial
until the next term: that Elliott replied
that his lawyer was not present but he
could have him there in "A hours; that
Stuart replied that he would proceed to
trial at once. instructed the sheriff to
impanel a jury. and appointed Bowers
to defend Elliott; that a special veniTe
was summoned, which was a partisan
jury; that in giving his instructions to
corning conviction and went rapidly
over those concerning acQuittal; that
County Attorney Brewster appealed to
the jury as Republicans to convict FL
lott.
When the motion was presented At
torney Moxcey had read it only down
to the fourth paragraph when he was
stopped by Judge Stuart and fined.

Being Unfair.
LELAND'S RELATIVE.
His BrOther-in-LaW Interested
in Prosecution.
Question is Whether Fines For
Contempt Were Proper.

The habeas corpus proceedings
brought by Frank Elliott, editor of the
Troy Times, and Thomas A. NIoxcey,
an attorney of AtchisOn, are now up
to- the judges of the appellate court
The cases were submitted to the court
at 10 o'clock last night without briefs,
and a list of citations will be furnished
the court by each side.
These habeas corpus proceedings
grow out of the f1nfng of Elliott and
AIoxcey by Judge Stuart in the Doni-
phan county district court for contempt.
They form another chapter in the long
drawn out fight which Elliott is making
on Cyrus Leland. Judge Stuart and 9TH
er Doniphan county Republicans.
Elliott was on trial for criminal libel
for erpublishing an article from the
Wathena Star charging A. L. Perry, a
brother-in-Iaw of Cyrus Leland, and
chairman of the DOniphan county Dem
ocratic central committee, with allow
ing Leland, a Republican, to dictate the
action of the Democrats of Doniphan

Judge Falcon what information he
based the affidavit upon

edge answered the witness
"Give the names of the jury that tried
you and tell what relation they bore to
you
&C. F. Shelton, was a member of the
Republican county central committee
and a delegate to the convention that
nominated Stuart"
Mr.. Perry interrupted at this point
and moved that the answer be stricken
form the record.
Judge McEIroy suggested that Mr..
Elliott tell the political complexion of
the jury as a whole and not individ-
How many of the jury were Repub-
hcans?" asked Judge Falcon.
'AiI of them
How many were enemies of yours ?''
They were all political enemies
The balance of the testimony was to
show that the affidavit was not read in
court that Judge Stuart had fined both
Elliott and MOXcey without giving them
a hearing, and also that Bowers, whom
Stuart was alleged to have appointed
to defend Elicit, was secretary of the
Doniphan county Republican central
committee.
On cross-examination Mr.. Perry ask
ed Mr.. Elliott if he did not sign an
agreement to publish a retTaction stat
ing that the article about Perry was
false.

suit

Mr.. Elliott, but not that the article
was false"
Mr.. Perry attempted further to force
Elliott to admit that he had signed an
agreement to say that it was false, but
the court ruled that the statement
would show for iself.
Judge FalIon placed both Mr.. Perry
and Mr.. Brewster on the stand, and
they in turn put Falcon on the stand,
but their testimony was simply along
the line of what had already been gone
over.
The cases were then submitted with
out argument, with the agreement that
citations should be furnished the court

the latter part of Governor Leedy's ad-
ministration, has been sued for a di-
vorce by his wife, Mrs. Margaret Ann
Butler. The suit was filed in the dis

The ground on which the divorce is
