Gregory is not confined in one of

lowed to see his friends. AS an espe-
clad favor the cashier this morning re-
quested the jailer not to allow anyone
to visit him without first sending in
the visitors name. Gregory SAYS he
Will see his friends and relatives. but
has no desire to satisfy the morbid
curiosity OF those who wish to see

other kind of interesting exhibit

1t is, of course, impossible to tei, at
TINS time what defense the cashiers

derstood that he will deny that he stole
the large sum charged against him.

How Champ CIarl TrIed to EnIirt.

try with one end of his saddle bags

Of his profession, while the other was
balanced across the mares back by
the weight of a copy of the Bible, Lord
Macauley's Essays and Breckinridges
and Douglass speeches. put the boy
out to work for John Call, a farmer.
John could not read, but he took a
great interest in politics. and agreed
With the boy that he would subscribe
for Prentiss' paper, the old Louisville
Journal, provided young Clark would
read 1t to him. The present Speaker
was then eleven years old. Thus he
imbtbed his Jeffersonian faith to be
further amplified at the feet OF 'Marse
Henry" Watterson, OF the Louisville
Courier-Journal.
While Clark was working for Call,
Morgan and his men came through
that region and Call put the boy on the
back OF a magnificent chestnut mare
and told him to take the horses to the
woods, for Morgan had a fine eye for
a good horse. He started, but Just

OF cavalry burst into view at a turn

HABEAS CORPUS
LIKELY To FAIL

WASHINGTON, D. Especial. -
Since Attorney Matthew E. O'Brien
secured writs of habeas corpus for the
release of two prisoners confined at
Occoquan, Corporation Counsel Thorn
as and the commissioners have stead
tasty maintained that no prisoners
had been removed except by lawful
authority, and that the habeas corpus
would fail.
Yesterday morning, in the District
supreme Court, +. II. stephens. of the
corporation counsePs office. appeared
before Justice Anderson and admitted
that unless he could have ratified the
action of the District Commissioners
all prisoners at Occoquan were liable
to be freed.
When the hearing was called upon
the petitions of Edgar Fisk and Will
liam Alexander. in the United States
Court for the Eastern District Of Vir-
Slnla, Monday last, Mr.. O'Brien raised
the question that the act of Congress
authorizing transfer of prisoners had
not been complied with. He held that
the supreme Court of the District had
not approved the transfers. The case
was continued to this morning to have
that point settled.
Yesterday morning Mr.. Stephens ap-
peared before Justice Anderson and
requested him to sign an order approx
ing the transfer of a hundred prison
erS on March 10Th. Mr.. O'Brien was
notified, and he protested against the
issuance of the order, saying that be-
fore the court allowed any prisoners
to he transferred to Occoquan, it
should know how the prisoners were
treated there and the indignities and
punishments that they are said to be
subjected to. He produced a card on
which were a list Of questions which
each prisoner was required to answer
at the OccOquan institution. The cues
lions, Mr.. O'Brien alleged, are indie
cent, and that on refusal to answer
these questions prisoners were pun
ished.
Judge Anderson said that the COM
pelling of prisoners to answer some of
the questions was an outrage, and that
If brought to the attention of the court
in proper proceeding would be stop
ped, but he said he felt that he must
sign the order and allow it's validity
to be tried out in the habeas corpus
proceedings in Virginia.
Mr.. O'Brien took exception to the
signing of the order and noted an APP
peal He contends that the validity
OF the law need not be argued, as the
law has not been complied with.
The signing of the order yesterday.
three months after the removal of the
prisoners, he contends. does not help
the Districts case. He further con-
tends that even had the order been
signed before the removal the law
is unconstitutional.
