defense, however, proved that Mr.
Prayer was in New York on the date
service was supposed to have been
had, and Judge Clark took the case
under advisement and returned to his
home in Chattanooga, Tenn, promis-
ing to send his decision by mail
They then sought to get Prayer to
return, by waving all further right to
prosecution and by securing the prbm-
Use OF Judge Jackson that the contempt
charge would also be waived On the
advice of his attorneys Prayer refused
all these offers and awaited the de-
cision of Judge Clark, which arrived
yesterday
The decision as drawn by Judge
Clark shows with what reluctance
he overruled another Judge who is on
an equality with himself. In his find
ing he referred frequently to decisions
of United States Judge Taft, and winds
up as follows:
"The order by the referee required
personal service In view of what is
thus said am constrained to hold,
though reluctantly, that the warrant
issued for the arrest of the defendant
was unauthorized and void, and this
being so it follows necessarily thatthe
warrant issued in this district for the
purpose of arresting and surrendering
the petitioner to the Court of West
Virginia, based upon the original
warrant, is in a like manner invalid
and unauthorized, and the petitioner
is entitled to be released from Gus
tody, and the writ is accordingly
granted and the rdischarged. ."
The decision is the first of it's kind
in the country, and will become a
precedent for bankruptcy cases where
personal service is not recorded.
Prayer will not have to returnto West
Virginia now, and his deposition will
have to be taken here.

LETTER
From President Gives Hope
For FoutS.

Special to the Leader.
GAINESVILLE, o., Aug. 10.-Dr. Il. c.
Brush, Surgeon General on Governor
Nash's staff, who is takingunusual in
terest in the case of Phineas Fouts,
the GAINESVILLE boy who is under SEN
tence Of death in the Philippines for
the murder of his Filipino sweetheart,
today received letter from President
Mckinley in which the latter stated
that the matter had been brought to
the attention of the Secretary of War.
This is the first expression so far
obtained by any one in Zanesville
from the President
GAINESVILLE is all worked up over the
case. The newspapers are demanding
clemency from the President and are
supporting Miss Myra Fouts, sister,
in her appeals to the President. A
fact that is worrying the friends of
young Fouts is that it is not known
here when it is intended to carry into
effect the death. sentence, and some
fears are entertained lest the Zanes-
villo soldier will have been put to
death before the date is known here

Cincinnati, o.. Aug. 19.-After one
of the hardest of fights Paul Prayer,
the Parkcrsburg (W. Va) merchant
bankrupt, has been released from the
custody of the United States Courts
by the granting of his habcas corpus
plea by United States Judge c. d.
Clark.
The decision of Judge Clark is an
unusual one, as it has the distinction
of being the reversal of the decision
of one United States Judge by anoth-
er.
Prayer was formerly in business in
Parkersburg, w. Va, and Marietta, o.,
as the Paul Prayer Company. After
filing his bankruptcy plea he left Park
ersburg, and for time his where
abouts were unknown to the authori-
ties. An order of Court citing him
to appear before the referee in bank
ruptcy was not served upon him per-
sonally, but was left at his home.
Prayer failed to obey this mandate,
and he was held to be in contempt of
Court by United Staes Judge John A.
Jackson, of the West Virginia District,
who issued a bench warrant for him.
Prayer was arrested in this city by
United States Marshal V. J. Fagin and
he at once retained ex-Judge SHREDDER
and Attorney Frank Seinsheimer to
fight his eYtradition. The first move
of the attorneys was the habeas cor
pus suit in which they alleged that
the West Virginia Court had no juris-
diction because of the fact that per-
sonal service of the order had never
been had upon the defendant.
The West Virginia attorneys opposed
the habeas corpus on the ground that
Prayer was in hiding, within Il
miles of his home, and at the time
that the order was left there. The

FATHER f.
Died at the Hands Of His
Own Son.
By Associated Press.

Glouster, O., Aug. 19.-Hushel Fouts
was arrested and brought here today
from Hardleyville three miles north,
to answer for the murder of his faith
er, Edward Fouts. There has been
ill-feeling between father and son on
account of family troubles. The eld-
er Fouts went last night to the home
of his son and threatend to shoot him.
The son knocked the father down and
shot him in the head and killed him
instantly.
The tragedy occurred just after the
breakfast hour when father and son
were preparing to leavesfor their days
work. But one shot was fired. 1t en-
tered Foutz's heart, causing instant
death, and he fell at the feet of his
son, who held the smoking revolver
in his hand The shooting was done
in the heat of violent quarrel, and.
it is said was done in self-defense.
Foutz, wno was contractor in
stone and brick work, possessedan un-
governable temper and in fits of pas
sion threa' ened the members of his
family with his wrath.
At the breakfast table a heated
quarrel took place, and to escape the
fury of his-father, whose fiery temper
he knew and feared, young Foutz hur~
riedly left the table and said he would
leave his home forever.
In an instant his father sprung to
his feet and ran to bureau drawer
for his revolver Securing it he left
the house and followed his son, who
was several yards away. Approaching
his son the father exclaimed:
''D-n you, I'll kill you or you'll kill
me-"
The son, who also had a revolver,
stopped, and facing his irate father,
leveled his revolver and fired one shot
with fatal effect,
Joe, you've killed your father" ex-
claimed Foutz in his agony and fell
dead at his sons feet. The son,
though expressing no regret, at once
gave himself up to the authorities.
He was given hearing before May
or L. C. Curfman, of Glouster, and
bound over to the Athens County
Grand Jury.
Young Foutz was taken to Athens
among the citizens that the son will
be given his freedom. The dead man
had met with some financial losses,
and because of this he seemed deter
mined to vent his wrath upon his
family.

SLEEPY ORDER
Caused a Telegra phi Operator
to Lose His Girl.

A good story is told by the Indian
lpolis News, as follows:
The subject under discussion by q
group of railroad officials and opera
.ors was telegraphy as a profession
Of course. this opened up the way to
the recountal of personal experiences
Of which the following story was the
lirect result:
There are romances in telegraph
jng," said another operator sitting by.
| know of an instance where the
sending of a wrong order caused a
young woman to break her engage
ment who is now the general super
intendent of one of the most import
ant lines in the west 1t was in
1876 that this man was the night op-
orator at Cincinnati for the Marietta
& Cincinnati, now the Baltimore &
Ohio Southwestern. The young night
operator had a sweetheart at Green
field, o., seventy-one milcsup the road
and he spent all his spare time with
her. She was a beautiful girl, and it
was generally understood that they
were to be married In those days
the night operator at the Cincinnati
Office of the NJ. & c., had chance to
sleep a little, and this particular op-
orator was a good sleeper, and was
awfully hard to waken. One morning
Marietta daily leader. (Marietta, Ohio) 1895-1906, 1901-08-20

Springfield, Ohio, wanted an order per-
mitting a train of workmen to go to
the Lagonda shops. The Cincinnati
operator was asleep. After a good
deal of pounding he was awakened,
and was asked for the order. In an
instant this came back: Number 10
will run wild between Cincinnati and
Greenfield and return
"Old Tom Burns was the engine
man, and he knew that that order
would not do. According to it, No.
TO- instead of going two miles and
back out of. Springfield, was to run
142 miles regardless of everything, and
over different road at that. OF
course, the order was corrected all
right and no harm was done.
But what had that to do with the
engagement?
well, you see the young operator
had been dreaming about his girl
at Greenfield, and was not more than
half awake when he sent the order
The boys along the road heard about
it, and then the girls frieds learned OF
it, and the two were plagued so much
that the girl got mad, gave the future
general superintendent the mitten
and married another man. She lives
in Chillicothe now, and his office is
in Cincinnati"
