The spars and rigging of Shamrock IL
are now being prepared at Glasgow for
setting up. They include several new ideas.
One is the abolition of the topmast and
all topmast fittings. She will nave a single
metal spar, the largest ever fitted TO any
ship. measuring from top to truck AS feet.
This saves the extra weight caused by the
necessary overlapping of the lower mast
and topmast and the weight of all the
housing gear, and giving also, it is thought,
a stronger and better braced spar. Sham
rock III will be unable TO house her topmast
in the event of racing in a gale OF wind,
but this only happened once since the
Americas cup racing began.

A WILLIAMS'S CASE.
Unusual Manner i'm Which He Is En-
~deavOring to Secure His Release.

The State yesterday filed a brief in the
Supreme Court In the case OF Frank Will
iiams VS.. the State of Indiana. Williams
was arrested at Anderson on the charge
OF larceny. and when he came to plead be-
fore the Circuit Court it was agreed among
the attorneys that the trial should be had
before the court. a jury having been waived
by Williams. When the cause came up for
hearing a number of important witnesses
who had been .subpoenaed In the case were
not present, and the hearing was therefore
continued. In the meantime Williams en-
pioyed a different attorney. and when the
cause came up for hearing the second time
the defendant demanded a trial by jury.
The court refused to grant the plea Of the
defendant. and the trial of the case resulted
III the conviction of Williams. He was sem
fenced TO the RefOrmatOry at Jacksonville
for the indeterminate period Of from one
10 three years. Last week Williams's at
torneys, who probably predicated their
action on the rather unusual proceedings
adopted by George w. Ray, brought suit
in habeas corpus against Warden Hert for
the release OF Williams, alleging that he
had been denied the privilege of a trial by
jury. A motion was Med by the State to
quaSh the writ or habeaS corpus and that
motion was yesterday sustained. Williams
had. however. perfected his appeal in the
Supreme Court. in which he alleged prac-
tically the same thing that had been stated
In the habeas corpus proceeding, viz, that
he had been denied the right of a trial by
jury. In the brief filed by the state yes
terday it is commended that as Williams had
waived his right OF trial by jury he could
not again claim IL.
The procedure followed i'm the Williams
case being identical with that of the Ray
case and following so soon after ii has led
the officials In the attorney generals office
TO believe that the precedent set by Ray In
trying TO secure his release on habeas cor
pus is likely TO cause them lots of trouble.
Many Of those who are convicted of crime.
they say. are known to have money which
they are always willing to spend in an en-
deavor to secure their release from prison,
and p~ettifoggers are always to be found
who will persuade an unfortunate convict
to make an effort for his release merely TO
secure his money, they say.

Refused HIS Liberty,

Saturday, Nov. %, James Heney,
sentenced to eight years in the Ne
vada penitentiary for completely in the
robbery Of the United States Mint at
Carson, had completed his sentence,
save in respect to the 81, 1000 fine i'm
posed in addition to the Imprisonment.
There are three ways in which James
Heney could have gained his liberty
that day. First, by paying his fine
second, by masking oath before a COM
missioner that he is a pauper and un-
able to pay his fine, and third, if Presi-
dent Roosevelt had remitted the fine.
To take this oath he must sign papers,
making an application to be taken be-
fore the commissioner, after having
served notice on the United States
District Attorney. When the papers
were presented to him for his sigma
ture he refused to afix it. In default
of taking advantage of any of the three
ways mentioned Heney must serve
out his 5000 fine at the rate OF two
dollars per day, or twenty-five hun
bred days more imprisonment-more
than he has already served. 1t is not
at all unlikely that Heney knew what
he was doing.
