H. T.. Haines Not Answering

ORDERED COMMITTED.
Justice Could See Nothing I'm

Case May Result in Prisoner Su-
ing for Damages.

Fort Scott, Oct. 29.-The most sensa-

afternoon when Judge Margrave order
ed H. T. Haines committed to Jail for
refusing to answer questions for a dep
osition which the attorneys for the es-
tate wanted to take Mr.. Haines acted
upon the advice of his attorneys.
The attorneys for the estate wanted
the testimony to learn what accounts
he had made while he was running the
boarding trains in order to arrive at
the amount of money he expended in
carrying on this business. In commit
ting him to jail Judge Margrave said he
could see nothing unfair in his answer
ing questions. A writ of habeas corpus
has been asked for and the question of
whether or not he is compelled to an
swer the questions. when he is in the
city and expects to be here at the hear
ing VIII be fought out before Judge
Simons, the papers having been filed
in the district court. The attorneys for
Mr.. Haines claim that he does not have
to answer the questions while the op-
posing attorneys hold to the contrary.
The whole affair is sensational and
there is no telling what will follow.
There is a probability of the claimants
filing suit against Mrs. Goodlander ask
ing for damages for false imprisonment,
as they claim that Mr. Haines is illegal
ly restrained of his liberty.
