fused to deliver Thomas Gray, wanted
in Cass county, Texas, for bigamy, to
Deputy Sheriff Henderson, on the
ground that the requistion warrant is
sued from the Governors Office was not

cause Gov. Terrell is in New Orleans.
AS matter Of fact the warrant was
signed by Gov. Terrell before he left.
1t has been the custom for years for
the Governor to leave signed war
rants to meet just such emergencies as
this. Executive Sheriff c. NJ Hitch

the effect that the signature is gem

HARRISON county, at all events, to hold
Gray.
1t is supposed Gray will be held I'M

case will be taken up with him.
