Efforts For the Release of Car
ter Still Continue.
His Lawyer, Uncle and Brother
Visit Leavenworth.
PRISONER IN HOSPITIL.
Believe the Captain Would Be
Exonerated at Civil Trial.
Writ Of Habeas Corpus to Come
Up Before Judge Caldwell.

Leavenworth, Sept. 13.-Frank P. Blair
of Chicago, attorney for Oberlin Carter,
arrived at the federal prison yesterday
and had a long consultation with his cli-
ent. The present consultation was for
the purpose of obtaining information
which the attorney will try and have in
troduced during the trial of Carriers for
ner partners at Savannah, Ga. The tes-
timony is such as court martial would
not receive and could not be brought out
when Carriers trial was had. The at
torney asserts his belief that If the tes-
| tfrnony can be introduced at the Sa-
vannah trial it will result in the COM
plete exoneration of his client.
| L. d. Carter and d. S. Carter, of Chi
cago, were at the Planters yesterday.
The gentlemen are respectively, uncle
and brother of Captain Oberlin NJ. Carr
ter, the captain of engineers confined in
the federal penitentiary, and were here
visiting him. Most of their time was
spent at the fort but they were seen in
the city yesterday afternoon.
L. d. Carter is a distinguished looking
gentleman. He is veteran of the civil
war, having served throughout the en-
| the struggle in the Eighteenth Ohio cav
airy. He is engaged in business in Chi
cago and is an old time friend of War
den McClaughry. d. s. Carter is young
man and in personal appearance resem-
bles his brother closely.
They found the captain bearing his
tude. At present he is indisposed and
in the hospital
When asked if there were any new de-
velopments in the case, L. D. Carter
stated that there We're none. The recent
statement of a ST. Louis paper that
writ of habeas corpus had been made
before United States Circuit Judge
Thayer, was branded as a hoax by the
two men yesterday A special telegram
from st. Louis last night, however, con-
tradicts the above statement. This tele-
gram states that the matter of the writ
Of habeaS corpus for the release of Cap
tain Carter will come up before Judge
Henry Caldwell at ST Paul, Mimi J..
D. Carter also stated that there had been
great deal of jealousy in army circles
against Captain Carter, and it was due
in part to his remarkable success and
ability as an officer, as shown by his ap-
pointment as military attache at Lon
don.
The gentlemen We're very reticent
about stating what would be done in the
near future but were both very empfat-
ic in their belief that If the captain
would be given a civil trial his complete
innocence would be established and he
would be restored to his rank in, the \
army. S

Just as Hill left the room a shotgun in
the hands Of Denl1art was discharged,
and DR.. Davis, shot through the breast,
fell dead. AT the trial the defense
claimed the gun was accidentally dis
charged. On the first ballot the jury
stood six for acquittale and six for con-
viction, but finally agreed on a verdict
of acquittal.
The case of Mrs America Allen,
charged with being accessory before the
tactic the murder of her husband, John
Allen, at Ottumwa last April, by James
Harris, was today continued until the
january term of court at the request of
the defendant for the reason that the
state had Endorsed many nafmes of new
witnesses on the information since court
convened This will likely cause the
continuance of the case against Harris
a1so as the state desires to try Mrs
Allen first
J. T. Cunningham, who recently
killed his father-in-law with a hoe, was
tried. A clear case OF self-defense was
proved, and the jury promptly brought
in a verdict of acquittal.

Table-Topeka Should Assist

The Washburn Athletic association in

this season that will be able to be in at
the finish for the championship of the
state

players of last years team will return and
several players from other teams will en-
ter the college this fall. The list of pros

and If the necessary money can be raised
the team will be trained as carefully and
as Systematically as any of the largest
teams The Athletic association has $3.50
raised to use in maintaining the table, but
it will take 5000 to carry the table through
the season. People who are interested in
