RIXEY IS DENIED
ktHABEAS CORPUS WRIT
But JUDGE WADDILL ALLOWS
APPEAL DIRECT TO UNITED
STATES SUPREME COURT.

r c H NJ o N d, VA Special
Judge Edmund Waddill, Jr., of the
United States District Court has de-
MED petition for a writ of habeas
corpus in the case of -. Jones Rixey,
president of the wrecked Virginia Safe
Deposit and Trust Company. of AL
exandria, who has been adjudged in
sane and ordered to the criminal de-
partment of the Marion Hospital.
The application to Judge Waddm
was made on the ground that the
mandate ordering RiXey's incarcera-
ton in the Southwestern State Asy-
lum was in violation of the United
States Constitution.
Although denying the prayer of the
petitioner, which was made through
ms son, C. j: Rixey, Jr., by counsel.
Judge Waddill allowed an appeal di-
rect to the United States Supreme
Court, and issued an order prevent
ing the transfer of Rixey from the
stanton Hospital TO the Marion in
sututlon until the matter is settled
by the country's highest court.
The attorneys for Rixey maintain
that he was pronounced insane by a
lunacy commission prior to his trial
In the Corporation Court on indict-
ments for embezzlement of the funds
OF the company over which he nre-
sided. Judge l.. c. Barley, of this
tribunal, disregarding the findings of
the commission, compelled the defend
ant to undergo trial. Rixey, who.
prior to the inquisition, had been in
the stanton Asylum, was brought to
Alexandria. The jury, however. ad-
judged him insane and Judge Barley
entered an order directing his removal
from Staunton to Marion.
Before applying to the Federal
court here, RiXey's counsel attempted
to get the case in the Virginia Court
of Appeals, but the judges of that
court declined to interfere. Then.

N BRINE SURE TO
|MPL|CATE OTHERS
INVESTIGATION EXPECTED TO
SHOW WARRANTS WERE MADE
BY OTHER PROMINENT MEN.

Guthrie, Okla, Nov. 19. - Since
the announcements that VIII h. Nc
Brine, former assistant state auditor
has returned and will, it is under
stood, turn states evidence, the ques
tion is asked frequently who will the
plicated by McBrine. 1t is denied
by the state officials that McBrine
has been offered an immunity bath
but on the other hand, it is admit
ted that this may be the result OF
present conferences with him. 1t
is neither admitted nor denied that
he is at the home of Sheriff Bart
Murphy of Guthrie.
In connection with the so-called
McBrine state warrants it is expect
ed that the civil case will come to
trial during the present district court
term wherein the Farmers National
bank of Ponca City is suing the Guth'
rie National bank and Robert Shot
berg, the former president, to recoy
er $4,000 on warrants which the Pom
co City bank bought of the Guthrie
bank. They proved to be of the So
called McBrine warrants.
During the trial OF this case, 1t rs
said, a sensation will be sprung when
it will be alleged that the warrants
while among those alleged to have
been floated by McBrine, were in
stead manufactured for him or al
least with his knowledge and con-
sent, by men of prominence, who
made a big profit off the deal.
McBrine is charged in two war
rants issued for him here eighteen
months ago, with raising a claim
from S2,324.45 to $3,324 40, making
thousand dollar raise. The warrants
were issued by County Attorney John
Adams before Justice Tom Seward
and on the complaint of State Audit
or Leo Meyer.
The highest estimate placed by
the state officials on the total
amount of alleged forged warrants
is $4,000 On the contrary, however
