AGAINST CHAMBERLAIN.
Supreme Court Remands Topeka
Broker Case For Trial.

The supreme court today denied the
writ of habeas corpus by which w. L.
Chamberlain sought release from the
proceedings charging him with embez-
element instituted by J. B. Furry. The
latter brought suit against Chamber
lain, who runs a bucket shop, charging
that between 81 100 and 81. 200 deposited
by Furry for the purchase of railroad
stocks had been converted by Chamber
lain to his private use.
The suits began in the city court. and
Judge MCCabe bound Chamberlain over
to the district court. Frem this judg-
ment he appealed by an application for
q writ of habe as corpus.
The court holds that the issues are
not determinable in a habeas corpus
proceeding and for this reason the court
is unable to determine the guilt or in
nncence of Chamberlain. The court
states, however, that there is much evil
denee in the case to sustain the conten-
ton Of Chamberlain, which is that
Furry did not expect the delivery Of
stocks, that it was a mere gambling
transaction. bucket shopping" How
ever. the court declines to pass N
the merits Of the case in this proceed
ing and refuses the writ
