Habeas Corpus.

NEW ORLEANS, La, July "a
Charles w. Morse has appealed to the
United States Circuit Court from the
recent decision OF Judge William T:
Newman, of Atlanta, when he was
denied habeas corpus writ to secure
his freedom from the Atlanta prison,
where he is serving a fifteen-year SEN
tence for violation OF the national
banking laws. The papers in the
case will be filed this week.
Morse contended that Il fine court
should fix his status as a prisoner un-
der a ten.year sentence or a fifteen
year sentence that .he, might deter
mine how much time he might get OF
for good behavior, and when a parole
might be applied for. He also con
tended that the Atlanta prison was
for the detention Of prisoners at hard
labor, whereas he was not sentenced
to hard labor.
