William Barry Released

From Bismarck comes word that
William Barry, the Milton farmer, sent
to the state penitentiary for the murder
of Andrew Mellum several years ago is
again making another effort to secure
his freedom, writ of habeas corpus pro-
ceedings before Judge Winchester in
district court at Bismarck having been
started this week n it is expected that
the argument of counsel will be heard
before the end of the week. The three
long drawn out trials given the Barry
case have in round figures cost the
county nearly $4,000. Two of these
trials we're here in Langdon and the last
over at Grafton in Walsh county. The
counsel appearing for Barry's release
maintain that the legal sentence
pronounced on their client was for ten
years, which with the usual deduction
for good behavior has now expired.
On Tuesday afternoon at Bismarck
Hon. W. F Winchester, judge of the dis
trict court of the sixth judicial district,
after listening to argument on the re-
turns made by Warden F. O. Hellstrom
of the state penitentiary to Il with Of
habeas corpus, and nothing appearing
to the contrary at the time of the hear
ing, ordered William Barry, sentenced
to the institution from Cavalier county
for murder, to be discharged from the
penitentiary and set at liberty forthwith.
The prisoner was in attendance at the
hearing in the custody of the warden
and the order of the court was i'm
mediately obeyed. Thus ended one Of
the greatest criminal cases in the history
of the northwest.
