TERRILL ONCE
MORE ACTIVE
l. EGISLAT TOR KILLER
ASKS FOR REHEARING
OF HIS CASE
SAYS He EXPECTS AMENDS
Says COurtPut an ImputatiOn
of Perjury Upon Him.

The Leavenworth Times Of yester
day has the following interesting
story:
Ira N. Terrill, the state prison con.
vict who has been before the courts
Tor the past two years making efforts
to obtain his freedom from the state
prison where he was sent for a mur.
der committed in Guthrie. has filed a
motion in the district court for re.
opening and re hearing of the habeas
corpus Proceedings which he brought
some months ago and after the hear
ing of which Judge Gillpatrick denied
the prisoner his freedom.
As Terrill passed out Of the court
room the last time he remarked to
Judge GillpatriclS that he would re-
turn to the prison. do the work as.
signed to him and make no more
trouble. and that he would wait until
he got out when he would sue the state
Of Kansas for every days labor he had
performed
TerTill contends that the federal
constitution and article No. 3 of the
Louisiana Purchase treaty guarantees
him equal protection under the laws.
and further attaches to the motion
letter TO Judge Gnlpatrick ia which he
crit'cizes the courts action in the
former proceedings and says he looks
to the court 10 make amends.
Terrlis motion is based upon the
following contentious:
l. The court erred in admitting in
evidence forged written instruments:
one purported copy of a journal en-
try showing trial. conviction and sen.
tence in the district court of Noble
county, o. 7. One so-called commit
ment purporting to emanate from the
district court of Noble county, o. II.
2. The court erred by overrulpg
the motion Of petitioner to strike out
certain written paper, contract or con
spracy from the return ia the case
3. The court erred in refusing to
give due weight to the true written
copy of the journal entry from Noble
county o. T., as offered in evidence by
the petitioner, sSorn. to by the petition
er as being a showing of facts. and
proved TO have been made and certi.
fed to by order of the district judge of
said Noble county. 0. r.
4. The court erred in remanding the
petitioner TO Imprisonment and labor
upon forged so-called commitment.
The petitioner makes this motion be
cause, since the making of the errors
as above enumerated, the petitioner
has acquired new. true and irrefutable
evidence to prove the allegations set
out in the petition. and which new
rue and irrefutable evidence proves
hat the respondent, e B Jewett. and
lis counsel did put the above Jescrib- /
"a forgeries in evidence to knowingly. /
and feloniously deceive the
court and thus lead the court TO make /
suors as above enumerated.
Believing that this court. when un
deceived, viii give to the petitioner the I
equal protection OF the laws-as is re-
luired of this court by the federal con. I
ititutioq-and as guaranteed to the pc /
itioner by article No 3 of the treaty /
'i iS02. known as the Louisiana Pur-
'hase treaty-therefor the petitioner
1rays this court to reopen and rehear
his case and TO grant relief to the
petitioner
criticizes the Court.

ollowing note from Ternn to Judge
