United States Judge George W. Ray for an order transferring Mir. Green to the custody of the Washington off, cials for trial in that district MT. Greens attorneys will ask for a writ of habeas corpus, which will be grant ed at once. This will act as a stay until Judge Ray can review the evil dence and the commissioners ruling and decide the case.
 Senator Green was released until February by giving S20, 1000 bail, George F. O'Neil, publisher of the Binghamton Leader, becoming his bondsman.
 It has been learned that MT. Greens attorneys expect to make a lengthy argument in hopes of having the in dictments set aside by Judge Ray.
 They will attack the indictments and the decision of Commissioner Hall on the grounds that neither the complaint nor the indictment conferred any jurfs- diction on the commissioner; that no facts alleging crime are set forth in the indictments so as to give the con- missioner who issued the warrants jurisdiction of the alleged offense or of the person of the defendant; that the indictments are void for repugnan- cy, duplicity and contradiction of state ment; that the warrant issued by the commissioner does not state any crime against the defendant; that the SUI preme court of the District of Colum- bia, which found the indictments, was without Jurisdiction, and that no evi- dence was adduced before the commis- sioner establishing or tending to estab- fish probable cause to believe the de- fendant guilty of any crime.
 The unexpected disappearance of Truesdel and Ida Crowell, said to have been important witnesses before the grand jury just when wanted for this hearing is also cited as an ob- stacle to complete evidence.
 The commissioner finds not the least suggestion in the evidence that Senator Green ever derived personal benefit from the transactions beyond the addi- tional profit accruing to him in com mon with the other stockholders of the two companies. Tn reviewing the evil dence the commissioner states that it t'discloses a suspicious activity on the part of Beavers in pushing the sale Of the Doremus canceling machines, for which 8 motive must have existed"
