Yesterday writ of habeas cor

deaVored to secure the release of J.
A. Grossly, alias Jim Reynolds,
one Of the robbers, but Presiding

+ Another attempt TO- defeat bring

who is city editor OF the Herald Of
that town, as deputy sheriff. Sc
crecy was observed in the move

i John Ditchburn and John F
Watts, attorneys, who yesterday
swore out the writ of habeas corpu:
had not been retained by Grossly
as counsel, but had sworn out The
writ at their own instance, as wa!
/ ascertained in the proceeding il
court. Judge George dismissed th'
wait, remanding Grossly to the Gus

warrant of arrest from Justice
Reid's court charging Grossly, Dun
ne and Hendryx with robbing the
Lebanon bank.
! Judge George ordered that n

'sThis officer" he said, "has jus
told me that if I did not stop talk
