tered his motion for continuance,

treatment which the prisoners were re-
ceiving at the penitentiary He stated
that they were denied newspapers and
were not permitted to correspond with
their friends. Judge Smith agreed
that these inhiftions should he re-
moved ana so ordered, stating that II

little interest, and there were few per-
sons at the railway stations either
at Boise or Caldwell. The small court
room at Caldwell was not crowded
with spectators. Al the conclusion
of the proceedings before Judge Smith,
the prisoners were brought back TO
Boise and taken before the state su-
preme court of Idaho, where arguments
are being heard this afternoon on the
habeas corpus proceedings begun in
their behalf several days ago
