stand at Diehls trial at New Castle, and
Dennis O'Meara, who was the only other
person known to lave been connected with
the case, could not be found until after
Diehls trial. O'Meara is a local saloon

ton if he did not tell what he knew. This
afternoon he told how he had been employed
by Diehl to engage a doctor. that he &C
companied Diehl and the young woman
TO Leach's house, and that she was APP
parently in good health. The defense had
framed a case on the theory that the
crime was committed in Anderson and the
girl brought here for treatment in such
poor health that she had to be carried
to the Leach home. An attachment will DE
issued for the mother of John Diehl, who
refuses to come from Indianapolis TO tes-
tlfy, as she did for her son. Diehl will
not be brought from prison by the state

One of w. 3. Watson's burlesque troupes
began a three days engagement. yesterday
afternoon, at the Empire Tneater. to a
crowded house, and il must be said that
the audience was not wholly pleased with
the standard of entertainment given. The
performance is unduly slow and the work
of the comedians is tiresome. Very few
musical numbers are given. although a
large chorus is present. Among the worst
imposltions of the entire performance is
the entry of Evans and Vidocq, who are
featured as '"The Two Peaches" The man.
fruit. but the audience, after a few minutes
peaches were in a putrid state. These two
men have been repeatedly coming to the
Empire for a number of years and have
not, in one line of their dialogue, injected
a new feature, yet when the audience
failed 10 respond with a hearty encore,
one of them had the effrontery TO revile
them.
The opening burlesque has nothing to
commend IL and is dull. In the olio the
Rossi sisters appear playing a banjo and
mandolin, but when they attempt to sing,
the performance is marred. George Il.
Seaman and Pearl Stevens are still giving
the same act. Phil Mills and Ruth Beech
er have some comedy in their turn, and
Miss Beecher's singing also finds willing
ears. Fyne and Dandy have a marvellous
jumping act. Allie Leslie and John Howley
scored the hit of the show I'm singing and
buck wins dancing. Miss Leslie's imper-
sonatiOn of a child was good. The final
burleSque, like the first, is dull and tedious.

MUST co TO PRISON.
Ray Loses His Habeas Corpus Case
Sheriff Luther Has n Warning.

Special TO the indianapolis Journal.
GREENFIELD, Ind, March 1~S.-Judge
Felt rendered his decision, this afternoon,
in the habeas corpus case brought by
George NJ. Ray. of Shelby county. against
Sheriff Luther, of that county, wherein he
asked his liberty from unlawful detention.
Inc attorneys for Sheriff Luther on the
previous hearing, here, had moved to quash
the Indictment on two grounds. First, this
court did not nave jurisdiction to issue
the writ; and, second, THAT said petition
and said writ did not, nor either of them,
state facts sufficient to authorize this court
to issue the writ or to hear and determine
any question arising thereon"
Judge Felt held. on the first proposition,
that this court did have jurisdiction, and
quoted various authorities sustaining his
view of the case. ON the second PROPOSE
ton for quashing the writ, Judge Felt
said: Questions of a more vital and COM
plicated character arise and must be de-
termined. This brings face to face the
personal liberty of the citizen and the sol
emn record of a court of general iurisdic-
ton by virtue of which ne is restrained
of his liberty. If the judgment is void, the
petitioner is ~unlawfully held in custody,
and should be discharged. If the judg-
erroneous. the prisoner is held by due pro-
cess OF law and cannot be discharged by
this court"
He then reviewed the facts in the case.
and after an elaborate citation of author
tiles, quaShed the writ and ordered the
prisoner into the custody of Sheriff Luther,
to fulfill the behest of the Shelby county
court. Ray will be taken to prison pend
ing his appeal TO the Supreme Court of
Indiana.
Deputy Attorney General Hadley re-
turned from Greenfield yesterday after
noon. feeling particularly jubilant over his
success in quashing the writ of habeas
corpus brought by George NJ. Ray before
Judge Felt of that judicial circuit. Attor-
ney General Taylor, in speaking of the Ray
case yesterday afternoon, said that 1t was
proving a source of annoyance to that Of
flee, as there seemed to be a disposition on
the part of Sheriff Luther, of Shelby coun-
~, to favor his prisoner all that he could.
Ray" said Attorney General Taylor, has
been proved guilty and should be treated
the same as any other prisoner, and ii is
the sheriffs duty TO take him TO the peni-
Tertiary at once
Mr.. Taylor said that he understood that
Sheriff Luther allowed Ray, while on the
way from Greenfield yesterday, to walk
around the streets of indianapolis alone,
and that, acting on his information, he had
told the Shelby county sheriff that IL he
did not take his prisoner back to Shelby
| county at once and accord him the same
| treatment as any other prisoner he would
at once axe steps to impeach him. Acting
| on the suggestion of Mr.. Taylor, the Shelby
county sheriff Immediately departed with
his prisoner for home.
