ing precedence over a motion to dis
agree.
However, the advocates Of the house
bill see tactical advantage i'm the
special rule, as some members who
were inclined to support d motion to
concur with the senate will not be in
clined to oppose d rule direct from the
speakers room.
A meeting Of the Republican insur-
gents is contemplated. Their leaders
say the rule probably viii be adopted.
but that while they have no real OBJ
lection to sending the bill to conference
they will vote against the rule, as they
consider it constructive instructions to
the house COnferees that they are not
to report unless they can reach an
agreement in accordance with the
house bill. They predict that the vote
tomorrow viii be the last one in which
the regulars" can hold their strength.
and that if a report comes in Arizona
and New Mexico will be eliminated
from the bill.

WRIT DENIED BY
JUDGE BEATTY
. United States District Court Affords
No Relief for Meyer, Hay
wood and Pettibone.
ARRAIGNED AT CALDWELL
PRISONERS THEN TAKEN TO
DIFFERENT PRISONS.

Boise, Ida, March 2O.-Judge J. H.
Beatty in the United States court to-
day quashed the writs of habeas corpus
in the cases of Charles H Meyer, Will
liam D. Haywood and George A. PeII
bone. He first granted the motion Cf
the prosecution to strike out the ma
teriaI portions of the answers. Attor-
ney E. T. Richardson gave notice of
appeal to the United States supreme
court
Judge Beatty stated that he had
thoroughly investigated the question
before him and had carefully examined
all the references noted in the briefs
He stated that ii was the practice Of
his court to be governed decidedly by
the decisions of the United States su-
preme court, and by the decisions of the
federal courts; that where the state
courts and federal courts gave adverse
decisions on the same issues the state
court decisions we're denied. He took
up the points raised by the defendants
that they should be discharged because
they had been brought to Idaho under
fraudulent means, and that they were
not eXtraditable from Colorado because
they were not fugitives from justice
from Idaho. Judge Beatty decided that
his court had no jurisdiction to inquire
into the methods whereby the prisoners
were brought into this state in the pro-
ceeding at bar.
There is no provision that I have
been able to find in law" said Judge
Beatty, whereby I have Jurisdiction
TO remand the prisoners to a sister state
after they have been brought into the
demanding state. as in the present in
stance. Now that the prisoners are in
Idaho, cannot make any order to pre-
vent their detention and trial here

PLEADED NOT GUILTY.
Prisoners Arraigned and Then Re-
moved TO Separate JaiIs.

Boise, Ida, March 2O.-Charles H.
Meyer, William y. HAYWOOD and
George A PettibOne, charged with the
murder of former Governor Frank
SteUnenberg, today pleaded not guilty
when arTaigned before District Judge
Frank Smith at Caldwell. The cases
were continued over the term and the
date of their trial was NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
, at about May Is.
= When the cases were called this
morning Judge Smith OveTrUIed the de-
murTer to the indictments and denied
the application to admit the prisoners
to bail. Judge Smith stated that in
holding the indictment to be good he
had followed the rulings of the CalifOr-
MIA supreme court. The constitutions
and criminal statutes of California and
Idaho are practically the same.
After the three prisoners had been
arraigned another aDDlica ton to admit
them to bail was made and was
promptly denied.
The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1906-03-21
Sent to Different JaiIs.

Judge Smith then announced that the
Canyon county jail was an unfit and
unsafe place for the detention of these
prisoners. He issued an order for the
removal of Meyer to the county jail at
Boise, and it was stated that he will
send Haywood to the county jail at
Weiser. PettibOne Will remain in the
jail at Caldwell.
Attorneys for the defense objected to
the order of removal, maintaining that
the county jail at Caldwell was salts
factory. Counsel for the defense have
steadfastIy opposed all plans to sep
aTate Haywood and Pettibone, and it
was to keep these officers of the West
ern Federation of Miners in close as
sOciation that they had them confined
In the little Jail at Caldwell 1t has
been claimed that the detectives want
ed to separate the prisoners. their OBJ
ject being to work upon them individ-
UaIly i'm the hope of securing admissions
that could be used TO advantage by the
prosecution.
President Meyer was brought to
Boise this afternoon and placed in a
cell in the county Jail far removed from
other prisoners.
