FRANKFORT, Ky. Feb. Alarmed con-
flct between etvu authorities OF Frank
lin county and the Nationai Guard OF the
state ot Kentucky has been averted. and
unless some new causes should come TO
the front there is small likelihood that the
political situation VIII become as thrcas-
eninx as n has hecn during the last thir-
ty-slx hours Gov. Taylor this morning
ordered the release OF Aionso Walker. for
the release Of whom Judge Moore declared
that sheriff Su,ter would swear In
posse and take possession OF tho capitol
grounds II such an extreme became neces-
sary whilc not recognising IN bis action
the existence OF thu wrif Of habeas corpus
which had been sworn out In behalf OF
walker Gov. Taylor. by releasing tho
man. removes the most threatening sign
OF trouble.
REGARD for Has~as Cerpus.
The commanding ofscers Of the troops
which guard the capitol grounds are care
M, 20 say that the situation Is entirely .
military AFFAIR. and that they extend to
the writ OF habeas corpus very little con-
alteration. but. whether they regard II or
not. Walker Is free, and Sheriff Sutier Will
not be called on 10 summon foree In the
paliins consequences which woaid follow
such an EFFORT on tho part of the sheriff
were too much for tho more conservative
members Of the Democratic party. and u
was decided today that. no matter what
Judge Moore should say ~ an individual
there would be no attempt 10 take possss-
sion of tho capitol grounds by force cf
arms. Even IL walker had been held =
much longer time than he actually was
held. no effort the Democratic leaders
had decided. should be made for hi~ res
cue after the writ Of hahess corpus had
failed.
