WRIT
OF HabGaS Corpus Is Filed
In Mansfield
Asking For Release Of Roy
MapeS
Who Was Arrested In Mt.
Vernon Some Weeks Ago
Mansfield News.l


An application for writ of habeas
corpus for Roy Mapes has been filed
in common pleas court by A. A Doug
lass and l.. G. Mengert, attorneys for
Mapes. The petition represents that
Roy Mapes is unlawfully restrained
of his liberty and is unlawfully i'm
prisoned by James A. Leonard, super
intendent of the Ohio State reforma-
tory. The petition recites that the
Imprisonment is without legal author
ity for the reason that Roy Mapes
at the November term of court, 1907
entered a plea of guilty to an indict-
ment for robbery then pending against
him and was on the 7th day of Janu-
airy, 1908, sentenced by Judge Wick
ham, presiding judge, to the reforma-
tory. On the same day the sentence
was suspended generally without any
conditions of requirements. Roy
Mapes was on that day releaed and
discharged by order of the court.
On June 29, 1911, the petition says,
the same judge on motion revoked
said order of suspension without hear
ing any testimony and without CIV
ing Roy Mapes an opportunity to Of
fer testimony and refusing him the
right to offer testimony, ordering the
carrying out of the sentence imposed
and suspended. The petition says by
reason of the premises the court of
common pleas had no jurisdiction to
revoke said order of suspension, nor
to order the execution and carrying
into effect said sentence imposed on
Jan. Z, 1908, nor any jurisdiction in
said cause on June 29, 1911. The petit
toner prays that writ of habeas be
issued to Jas. A. Leonard and that
Roy Mapes may be discharged from
such Illegal and unlawful imprison-
ment.

Monday nights automobile accident was stated yesterday to be more seri Ous than first announced, and that Perry Bones. one of the party of four, is suffering from a severe nervous shock that necessitated his remaining at Jerome Junction all day yesterday. He will be brought to the city to- day and it is believed that his indis- position will not be of long duration. The accident was caused by the front spring of the machine breaking while the party was proceeding at a faIr rate of speed. The brake clutch i'm mediately became locked when the ear was thrown to its side and in an instant all occupants were caught underneath it. Labe Johnson was extricated after considerable trouble, while the other passengers were slightly bruised about the body. All proceeded to Jerome Function on foot and attended the circus later. Afterward, when a relief car was sent to the scene, MT. Bones suddenly collapsed and has remained partially prostrated ever since A physician was dispatched yesterday to attend him.
