LUOK LAW CONYICTS
MUST SERVE TERMS
JUDGE WEAVER DENIES APPLIcA-
TIoN FOR HAREAs CORPUS IN
THE CASE OF PRINCE DRAKE, A
NEGRO coNVIcT-WILL APPEAL

In the criminal court yesterday Judge
Weaver decided that persons convicted
under the Lusk law, which has recently
been declared unconstitutional, must serve
out the terms Of Imprisonment for which
they had been sentenced.
The case came up in the form of habeas
corpus proceedings at the morning. session
of the court. Prince Drake, a convict In
the Pratt mines from Madison county, ap-
piled to Judge Weaver for writ OF ha-
beas corpus His counsel contended that
Drake had been indicted, tried, convicted
and sentenced under the Lusk law: and
that in as much as that law was uncon-
stitutional, Drake should be released.
Judge Weaver denied the application. He
based his decision upon the ground that
the Lusk act was law at the time Drake
was tried, and that Drake counsel
should have made the point OF unconsti-
tutionality when the case was on trial. In
as much as counsel failed to do so, Judge
Weaver held that the prisoner should be
required to serve out his sentence.
An appeal in the case will be made to
the supreme court. 1t Is estimated that
in case the supreme court reverses Judge
weavers opinion not less than $50 con-
victs will be released.
