To Free Convict on Technically.

From Baltimore American, January Is.
Assistant Warden Ferd A. Dieffenbach and
Deputy Theodore Brushweiler, of the Mary
land Penitentiary, yesterday took George
Campbell, alias Charles Johnson, to Westmin-
ster, Md, in obedience to a writ of habeas
corpus sworn out before Judge Reifsnider, of
that place, by Attorney John E. Dempster,
of this city. The attorney seeks to free the
prisoner on the ground that the commitment
was defective. The commitment is one OF
the old ones still in use in some of the coun-
ties, and reads ''to be confined in the penl-
Tertiary house of the State of Maryland.
The words that make the paper defective, &C
cordng to Dempster's contention, are THE
penitentiary house"
On the same grounds he has on three pre-
vious occasions obtained writs of habeas
corpus or Campbell from Judges Burke, of
Baltimore county; Stockbridge, of tins city,
and Jones, of Elicott City, now on the berch
fthe Court of Appeals. In each Oft cases
the pri4oner was remanded. Dempster has
also, on the same grounds and in the same
way, tried to break the commitment IN the
cases of other criminals at present in the
peni,entiary.
Campbell halls from New York State. He
was sentenced by the Circuit Court of Balu-
more County April s, 1895, to 20 years in the
penitentiary for burglary aud assault with IN
tent to kill. There are several cases against
him. With him were indicted five Others,
among them William Hall, ali 5 Charles
Wells, who got % years. The gang had ter
rorized Pikesvile, Gainesville and the sur
rounding country.
This repeated action is looked npor BY the
authorities Of the penitentiary with concern.
Il gives them trouble and annoyance, and Is
a source of considerable expense and danger.
Officers of the penitentiary must accompany
the prisoner. They are taken from their reg
ular duties, which must be discharged by the
other officers somehow. and they never knew
what plot may be on foot to rescue the pms
oner on the way to court aud back.
Warden John +. Weyler considers that he
has a grievance in the premises. aud thinks
that some way should be provided for the
prevention of the abuse Of the writ IN this way.
he thinks that it should not be issued a sec
oud time on the same grounds for the same
prisoner for the same commitment.
