There was no charge made against
the men arrested. Attorney Light

habeas corpus for the leaders. He
found Judge DE Bolt and a writ was
made returnable yesterday morning.

Attorney Generals office to assist in
the prosecution and appeared before

lead in the argument against allowing

the hearing on habeas corpus. Be

the Opera House, with necks strained,

made being occasional "banzais' for
the prisoners and Attorney Lightfoot.
On each occasion of getting a glimpse
