DECIDED IN
FAVOR Of warm
Habeas Corpus Proceedings
Resulted in RelcGSe of
Naval Stores Man.
Special to The Journal.

Ell Paso, Texas, May S.-Judge Dog
gins, of the district court, today an
nounced his decision in the Warn
habeas corpus case. The decision
was in favor of Warn, and he was at
once released from custody.
The arguments of the attorneys for
the defense and prosecution were
concluded this morning, and the court
at once announced its decision. The
writ of habeas corpus was sued out
by Warn several months ago, when
he was arrested on the charge of being
a fugitive from justice. Three days
were consumed in hearing the testi-
mony and arguments.
The above information will be read
with interest in Pensacola. where Warn
is we'll known. The grounds set forth
by attorneys for Warn were that he
was not resident of Pensacola at
the time of his marriage. and that
consequently he could not have de
serted her as is charged. Witnesses
from Alabama evidently proved this
to the satisfaction OF the court
Warm cannot again be arrested
while he is a resident of Texas, but
should he at any time go into an
other state he can be taken into cus
tOdy.

1.-THE Time, the place and the Girl"

US tWS, the FtdCe dnO INC SiTis
"The Time, the Place and the Girl
will be a big offering at the Keylor
Grand soon. This attraction was con-
sidered one of the biggest musical sue
cesses of the season in this city last
year, and it returns with practically
the same cast, headed by John E.

impression as Happy Johnny Hicks,
the gambler. Elizabeth GOodall as

parts are handled by the same capable
Assists as when last presented in this
city. The chorus has been augmented
by number of pretty girls who can
sing and dance, and the ten little
"broilers' are big feature with the
show.
1.-The Time, the Place and the Girl
is not musical comedy, but comedy
with music full of lively action, good
sound sentiment and, what is more
than either, a number of original and
artistic character types. Though the
music is an attractive feature of the
production, the plot is so neatly and
masterfully arranged that it would be
an interesting play without the aid Of
melodies.
The leading part is that of Happy
Johnny Hicks a square young gam
bier, with lot of sound philosophy
which he expresses in epigrammatic
slang. He falls in love with the witty
head nurse at a mountain sanitarium
where he has been forced to flee with
his chum, Tom Cunningham, who is in
danger of arrest because of an episode
in Boston gambling house. The sani-
tarium is placed under quarantine and
as the servants are all absent the
guests have to serve themselves In
the course of the play Hicks shoulders
Cunningham's guilt, and thus put him

numbers, and all of them are what are
known as hits. The chorus is one of
the most attractive clusters of amiable
beauties ever sent out. drilled under
