IDENTITY. OF
PRISONER

Littleton. N. H.. April by a decision
OF Judge Aldrich OF the United States
circuit court. handed down yesterday, the
New Hampshire authorities will be re
quired io rove that a man claiming to
be Henri tiward Moebus, now in the
state prison at Concord. Is Max schoen-
bein. better known as Max Shinburn, the
famous bank robber.
Moebus or Sohoenbein is serving the
last part Of a ten years sentence, i'm
posed in 1855. for the robbery OF the
Walpole IN. HI National bank. which
sentence was interrupted by his remark-
able escape from prison nine months after
he entered it's walls.
Schoenbein. as the New Hampshire au-
thorities claim. was brought from New
York I'm 1900 at the expiration OF his four
years term at the Dannemora prfson
for the robbery Of the Middleburg bank
in that state.
Since his arrival at Concord ne hss
strongly maintained that ne Is Moebus
and not schoenoein. and early in the
present year he secured counsel. who In
February presented a petition TO Judge
Aldrich for habeas corpus proceedings
on the ground that the prisoner was being
delayed without warrant OF state or fed
eral laws.
At the hearing on Feb. IL In Concord
the petition was denied, put the prisoners

WARDEN MUST SHOW CAUSE
In reviewing the case Judge Aldrioh
in his decision yesterday said
Under the second petition OF the par
son claiming to be Henry E Moebus for
a writ OF habeas corpus. 10 which there
Ia a motion to dismiss on the ground
that no questions for the federal courts
are involved and upon the ground 81
the want OF Jurisdiction, three questions
are presented First, that extradition
was improperly influenced by an obsolete
indictment. on which an individual Max
shinburn. has already been tried and
convicted; second. that the petitioner has
been illegally confined IN the New Hamp-
shire state prison since November, 1900,
In violation of the constitution OF the
United States, on the alleged authority Of
a writing. n copy OF which is attached"
In closing. Judge Aldrich says:
1T must follow that an allegation Of
confinement in state prison for a sub
stantial period like Ave years upon no
process whatever other than an execu-
tive warrant presents a federal question
which calls for interference at least 70
the extent OF requiring the person against
whom the restraint Is alleged to answer.
The melton TO dismtss Is denied and
the warden is required TO answer and
show cause why the writ should not
issue"
At the hearing. the date of which has
not yet been fixed. the state authorities
Will be required TO prove that the prison
er Is Schoenbein.
1t Is expected that the proceedings will
be interesting. as very few of the state
authorities are living who were concerned
In the tri1l and imprisonment OF the
Walpole bank robber.
