Papers Filed I'm the United States
Court by District Attorney
Joseph ID. Healing.
DECISION OF JUDGE BAKER
OBJECTION TO HIS RULING IN HA-
BEAs CORPUS PROCEEDINGS.
Editor Champion and Postmaster Zfm-
norman ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
Company Wins.

The petition for an appeal and writ Of
error to the Supreme Court of the United
States in the case of james Lynchehaun.
whom the British authorities are seeking TO
take back to Great Britain to serve out
life sentence in the Marlboro prison, was
fled yesterday in the Federal Court by
United States Attorney Joseph b. Healing.
The appeal is taken from the decision OF
Judge Baker in the habeas corpus proceed
ings, brought by Lynchehaun at the time
ne was arrested in the city on warrant is
sued by United States commissioner of
the Southern district of New York. In case
the Supreme Court reverses the decision
Lynchehaun will be taken to New York and
his case again heard in that district.
The petition assigns the following errors:
First, that the court erred in sustaining
the exception and each of them taken and
filed to the return of the respondent, Har-
ry G.. Petit, to the writ of habeas corpus.
Secondly, the court erred in holding and
deciding that the warrant for the arrest in
an extradition proceeding does not run and
may not be served beyond the territorial
limits Of the district in which it Is issued.
Thirdly. that judgment of the court to
the effect that a warrant for an arrest Is
sued by the United States commissioner in
the State of New York, addressed TO any
United States marshal in any district or
the United States, was not sufficient author
ity to authorize the respondent, Harry G.
Petit, to arrest and hold the said Thomas
Walsh, whose real name is James Lynche-
haun, and in ordering the discharge and
release of the prisoner and in rendering
Judgment therefor in the cause. The petit
ton prays that this Judgment Of the court
be reversed and that judgment be entered
for the respondent and for costs.

the Gas Consumers League will be held at
the Commercial Club this afternoon at
o'clock. The details of the organization of
the league will be perfected. Herman Lie
Der. in all probability, will be elected presi-

the Indianapolis Gas Company, took full
notes of the citizens meeting in Masonic

the Indianapolis Gas Company has in the
status OF the Consumers Gas Trust Com

president of the company, denies that the
company has the slightest interest in the
Eureka Investment Company The. stenog-
rapher was sent for a report of the meeting

CORONER CANNOT SUE.


The Supreme Court, in an opinion handed
down yesterday, affirmed the judgment in
favor of the defendant in the suit of the
coroner Of Sullivan county 10 GUST John S.
Dudley from the office of sheriff This case
grew out of the lynching of James billiard,
a negro, who was taken from the custody of
Dudley while the latter was bringing him
from Illinois. The lower court in passing
on the case declared the law which gives
the coroner the right TO take the office
from the sheriff is unconstitutional. The
Supreme Court did not pass on this feature
of the case. 1t held that the coroner has
right to sue for possession of the office
even though the sheriff has forfeited il.
When the facts of the lynching became
known Gobernor Durbin was much vexed
over the matter and refused TO excuse Dud-
ley The Commissioners of Sullivan county.
who were in sympathy with Dudley refused
To appoint a successor To him. He had been
reelected few days before the lynching
Judges Monks and Bowling dissented from
the views of the other judges.

middle-aged colored men, told Judge Whal-

charge placed against them. They said
they had got into an argument regarding
who had written the Bible and after New

was the author, Thompson offered to bet
him 81 that he was a better man in every
regard than Newly. and as a result the
money was put up and Newly and Thomp-

fighting. The judge lectured them both Sc
verely and fined each 81 and costs. But
when the fines had been settled, the man

CONSOLIDATED WINS.
Indianapolis & Northwestern Has No
Franchise Rights In CrawfordsvilIe.

Judge Baker yesterday sustained the de-
murrers of the Consolidated Traction Com
pany and OF the city of Charlottesville. In
sustaining the demurrers, Judge Baker
ruled that the Indianapolis & Northwestern
Traction Company has no franchise rights
whatever in the city Charlottesville. This
leaves the Northwestern Company with
twenty miles of road now built across the
country from Lebanon to Charlottesville
without any rights to enter the latter city
except over the tracks of the Consolidated
Traction Company. Judge Baker has al
ready ordered the United States marshal to
tear up what tracks have been laid in the
streets of Charlottesville by the Northwest
ern Company. The Consolidated Traction
Company announces that 1t Will now pro-
coed at once to build a city system of
tracks in Crawfordsville. The officers state
that the rails, ties, overhead wires and all
the material for the system are now on
the ground and work will begin at once.
