Wise Asks Delay in Vain.


Mr. Marshall opened the proceeding
by telling Judge Holt that he was
ready To argue the writ Of habeas cor
nus obtained the night before. but did
not know whether the government was
ready. Mr.. Wise declared he would
like To argue the matter on its merits
later. He had not been served with
the writ until almost noon, he said, and
had therefore been unable TO acquaint
himself with all the documents.
The whole proceeding was prema-
ture Mr.. Wise said, as no official infor-
nation had been received by Commits
sioner Williams from Washington as to
the decision Of secretary NaRel. All
that was known about il was hearsay,
and therefore he asked that the case
20 over until to-day.
Mr.. Marshalls motion that the court
admit General Castro to bail brought
Mr. Wise instantly to his feet He
earnestly opposed bail for Castro. and
as IL was only a question OF his re-
naming on Ellis Island one more night
he thought the bail question should
also 60 over He promised 10 do his
utmost to he ready for the case by {:
o'clock to-day.
Judge Holt decided. however. that
he would not SIT on a Saturday after
noon, and said that the case properly
belonged on the motion calendar for
next Friday. Under those circum-
stances an application for bail vas
proper
I'D rather argue the writ on it's
merits Tomorrow said Mr.. Wise
than have the prisoner set free oil
bail pending a hearing AT later date
He is not seeking 10 come here per-
manently. but FOR a short period of
time. and to admit him to bail means
TO accomplish exactly what the gov
ernment seeks To prevent
The case was one where an application
for bail was proper. Judge Holt said. Mr.
Marsall complained Of the bad treatment
accorded to Mr.. Castro on Ellis Island.
