score of states.

time several days.

w. e. JOHNSON RELEASED
On Habeas Corpus Proceedings Be-
fore Judge Wdlthdll.-An I'm
portant Ruling of the Court.

POA eAAss VI SnS SOuats
An application for writ of habeas
corpus was filed before Judge Waltbal
yesterday morning, in the case of w.
e. johnson, who was arrested last
week upon the complaint of Charles
Bouy, who charged johnson with
swindling.
A little after three o'clock, johnson
accompanied by his lawyer, Judge
Wilcox, appeared before Judge Walthal
to argue the writ.
After the evidence and facts in the
case had been recited, the court or
dered Johnson's release, because the
state did not and could not prove that
johnson had no money on deposit in
Kentucky, and the district attorney
had no way to prove he had not. The
presumption of the law is that he had
money on deposit in Kentucky. The
district attorney conceded that there
was no way for the state to show that
defendant Johnson had no money on
deposit with the party upon whom he
drew the draft.
No case being made out against John
son he was released.
The ruling of the court in this case
should be taken note of by merchants
| and storekeepers in tho city, and es-
pecially saloons, in cashing ch ecks pre-
sented by persons entirely unknown to
them.
