MAY ESCAPED PRISONER
Be HELD AFTER TERM?
Interesting Question Put Up to
Justice Wright in Richard
Lusky's Case.

May a man who has been sentenced to
one year in jail and is transferred to Oc-
coquan take French leave from that
place and remain outside Of the jurisdic-
ton during the entire year for which he
was sentenced to spend his time in jail
and then return after the year has ex-
pired and escape serving the sentence?
This is the question that Attorney
Matthew E. OBrien put up to Justice
Wright in the District Supreme Court to-
day, when he applied for writ of .ha-
beas corpus for the release Of Richard
Lusky.
It seems that Lusky was convicted of
petty larceny in the Police Court June
%. 1911. and was given sentences aggre-
eating one year. The sentence Of the
court was confinement in the JAIL The
Commissioners, as they have been doing
since OccoQuan was established, trans
ferred Lusky to that institution shortly
after his sentence. Lusky did not like
tions and left the place. going to Pitts
burgh and Chicago.
Arrested on Return.
About a week ago he concluded. that
he wanted to visit his people in the Dis
trict of Columbia, and Mr.. OBrien was
consulted. TIE attorney then began ne
gotiations with the authorities for Lusky's s
surrender and release on a writ of habeas
corpus. that the validity Of the original
commitments might be tested. Bs.ure
negotiations wcra completed, however,
Lusky returned and was arrested as q
fugitive by Detective Weldon. and is now
In Jail.
Justice Wright issued the writ return
able Monday next at 10 o'clock, when he
will decide whether Lusky can be held
to serve the sentence imposed by the
Police Court, and which he escaped serv-
ing. 1t is claimed by his attorney that
the old commitments can have no force
after the expiration of the time mention
ed in them as the time for serving the
sentence, and that his client must go
free, unless 1t is seen fit to indict him
for prison breach in the United States
court in Virginia, and then the legality
of his imprisonment at Occoquan under q
sentence to jail would be tested.

TO ABANDON JUAREz
Rebels Expected to Evacuate
Within Forty-Eight Hours.
MOVE TO CAsAS GRANDES
Believed Federals Will Respect Neu.
trality Of Vigilance
Body on Arrival.

JUAREZ, Mexico, July 1S.-Activities Of
the citizens vigilance committee, organ
lied to preserve order during the passage
Of the city from rebel to federal control,
led today to the report that the insur-
rectos would eyacuate Juarez within
forty eight hours.
The rebels admit that they intend to
abandon Juarez soon, moving the garri-
son of 400 men here to Casas Grandes,
141 miles southwest on the Mexican
Northwestern railroad, but have made no
announcement as to the time of their pro-
posed departure. The local vigilance or
ganization, however. was busy today pre-
pairing for change.
Juan W. Medina, who once was mayor
Of Juarez, is in charge. 1t is expected
that when Gen. Huerta, the government
commander-in-chief.a arrives in Juarez he
will respect the neutrality of the vigi-
lance body.
!. May Postpone Evacuation.
The fact that dynamiting crew Of
rebels was ia miles south Of here, at
Moctezuma. today on the Mexican Central
railroad had a tendency to counteract the
idea of an immediate evacuation Of
Juarez.
It is believed that Gen. Pascual Orozco
will await the return Of this detail of
men and the complete destruction Of the
railroad up to the international line be-
fore ordering the abandonment of the
town. Gen. Orozco himself will go south
west to Casas Grandes. the new rebel cap
ital and base. today. II the rebel general
does not abdicate his position as chief of
the tnsurrectos. as has frequently been
reported OF late, 1t Is considered most
likely that he will go to some secluded
place on the Mexican Northwestern,
whence his whereabouts or movements
could not easily be traced.
To Rebuild Mexican Central.
There is every indication that the fed
erals will move their main forces and ar
tillery north to Juarez over the Mexican
Central, rebuilding the road slowly. just
as they did on the way from Torreon to
Chihuahua City.
Big government forces also are moving
northwest along the Mexican Northwest
ern from the city of Chihuahua, but they
must contend with burned bridges and
the prospect of badly mangled track
within few days.
