SHELBYVILLE WROUGHT UP.
Ray Habeas Corpus Proceedings
Causes Much Excited Talk.

Special to the Indianapolis journal.
SHELBYVILLE, Ind. March s.-The
filing of an application for a writ of habeas
corpus by George M. Ray in Hancock
county by one of Rays attorneys was the
sole topic of conversation on the streets
here to-day. About the middle of the MORN
ing Coroner Ray, of Falkland, served the
papers in the case on Sheriff Luther, and
on an afternoon train Deputy Sheriff Ches-
ter Luther and Ray started for Greenfield
to answer the summons of Judge Phelps.
From a message received here this after
noon it Is understood that the grounds Of
the writ are that the court had no jurisdic-
tion because two terms of court were in
progress in the circuit at the same time,
and that the Indictment on which he was
tried was not the one returned by the
grand jury, but had been changed by the
erasure OF the article Ia and the inser-
ton of the word said"
Prosecuting Attorney Blair and Attorney
John S. Duncan spent part of to-day in
Greenfield, and they have been retained by
Sheriff Luther to defend the action of this
them to Greenfield in the morn
ing.
Never was a community wrought up as
this one is over the possibility of Rays
escape after the hard struggle to convict
him by a jury containing nine Democrats,
several of them his personal friends. Con-
siderable street talk is heard of rough
usage should he be turned loose and re-
turn here.

DECLARED TO BE ILLEGAL.
Organization of Pennsylvania Plate
Glass Company-Fraud Alleged.

PITTSBURG, March S.-William r. Blair,
special master in the case of the Farmers
Loan and Trust Company against the Penn
sylvania Plate-glass Company, filed his re-
port in the United States Circuit Court to-
day. in which he declares that the bonds
issued by the company were unlawful and
the organization of the company illegal.
The master says that the statement of the
articles of the association that 10 per cent.
of the capital stock of $1,000 900 had been
paid i'm was utterly untrue, and that the
property transferred to the company for
$4,000 was not worth over 100000. In his
opinion the bonds are illegal and void ex-
cept in the hands of bona-fide holders for
value. without notice of the facts which
rendered them illegal and invalid.
