for several weeks making a personal
Investigation.
The detective has discovered and pho
~tosraphed footprints leading from the
cabin of the murdered man. and has
also photographed the footprints of a
suspect. which correspond. There is
positive evidence that Brown was first
shot II then strangled; there is evil
dence TO prove that the suspect pur-
chased a 32-caliber gun and ammuni-
ton. The detective has money in his
possession which was known to have
in the hands of Brown: he also
has evidence which shows thai Brown

marked money which has peer passed
by the suspect. There is every reason
10 believe that am arrest will be made

formula telling the composition of the
medicines. The decision releases Il. H.
Brown, a wholesale druggist of Sioux

The court in it's decision says: "ihere'
being no legal authority for the pro-
cess under which the petitioner is re-
strained of his liberty nor general law
to justify a conviction, his application
to his court for a discharge on habeas
corpu is granted"

medicines to sell nothing of that class

Under this construction the arrest of
Mr.. Brown was made after he had sold
