Ex-Captain Fails to Secure His Tenn
porary Release From Prison


Leavenworth, Feb. 16.-Ex-C Captain
Oberlin NJ Carter. u. S. A.. serving a
sentence in the federal prison at FIT
Leavenworth for defrauding the govern
ment on harbor contracts, today suffered
another defeat IN his attempt to secure
release. Judge Hook in the United
States district court refused to release
the prisoner on bail and ordered that he
be remanded to the penitentiary to await
the action OF the United States supreme
court on appeal in his habeas corpus
case. After a brief argument by his
attorney J. H. Atwood. who contended
that the court had the power to admit
the prisoner to bail. and the reading Of
two affidavits of physicians regarding
Carriers health, Judge Hook handed
down his decision. He held, in sub
stance, that the judgment OF the court
martial was final unless set aside by
the supreme court OF the United States
III can not" said Judge Hook, in clos
ing, even had the court the power,
which is doubtful, see a reason for lib
Grating the prisoner on bail. Such a
case has not been presented that would
authorize anything Of the kind and the
motion is denied and the judgment of
the court martial stands"
