WARRANTOF REMOVAL REFUSED,
Judge Brown Discharges In the Gay
nor-Greene-Connol Case.

New York, April 4.-Judge Brown, OF
the United States district court, has
refused the warrant of removal ap-
piled for in the case of Captain Car
ter's contractors, 3. d. Greene, j. F.
Gaynor, z. H. Gaynor and w. I. Gay
nor, indicted in Savannah. He order
ed the discharge of the prisoners with
out prejudice to further proceedings.
The grounds for the refusal were
the absence of sufficient testimony as
to the guilt Of the accused. The de-
cision says:
THE steG0grapher' notes of the pro-
ceedings returned by the commissioner
consists Of LOO pages, showing, how
ever no other evidence of the nm
mission of the offense than a certified
copy Of the indictment. Aside from
this the whole record consisted OF liz
tie except rulings upon the evidence
on behalf of the defendants sought tc
be introduced and numerous exhibits,
all, so far as they pertained TO the
merits or tended to show the innocence
of the accused and the want OF prob
able cause, were rejected, mostly upon
the ground that the question Of guilt
or innocence should only be heard and
determined upon a trial under indict
ment."
The decision also says an lnd1ct-
ment is at best but evidence in no
way conclusive and that although a
copy of the indictment may be treated
as an affidavit, it is to be given wight
only according to the nature and char
acter of it's averments- by a singular
inversion, however" continues the de-
cision, "the best reason for the ad
mission of the defendants proposed
evidence, namely, it's tendency to show
innocence of the charge and lack OF
probable cause, was, in this instance
made the reason for excluding it. A
certified copy Of the indictment hav-
ing been received by the commissioner
against the defendants objection, il
was thereupon contended by the prose.
cution and virtually ruled by the com
missioner that the evidence was closed
as respects the qustion Of guilt and
that no evidence disproving it could
be allowed, since that would be trying
the issue here instead Of in Georgia"

WOES OF A WAR CORRESPONDENT.

Manila correspondent of The Chicago Tribune
A war correspondent for an Eastern papeg
sent in his usual dispatch for the day from the
little town out on the firing line
Under the rules the dispatch had to be ad-
dressed and sent direct TO the press censor, Cap
tain T. Green. who, after he had passed upon II
and struck out matter that he regarded as OBJ
tectiOnable sent il over TO the cable station
There the correspondents colabOrer was to re-
view il and strike out anything from the mes
sage that he had already sent But he had him
self hurried out to another part OF the firing line
in the afternoon and left word at the cable
office that the messages which came In from the
first correspondent should be sent just as they
were to the paper in New-YOrk.
The first correspondent, thinking his COlabOreP
was to edit his message in the cable office had,
after writing his message, put on the following
postscript
For heavens sake send pair OF
khaki trousers. Some soldier stole mine yester-
day. and | wearing some pants took away
from a Filipino. Send also a pair Of socks
two cans Of sardInes and bottle of whiskey.
We charge il all up as streetCar fare or
fodder for horses, something like that"
The censor of course, let the postscript go az

cable station would blue pencil II. But the CO.
labOrer was not there and the night operator
had no orders to do anything but send messages

what Il might be a code So he sent IL 10 the
NeW-York office.

$157 80.
