The MuIIahs of India.

A mullah, or. as it is more properly
written. mollah, is title given in In
dia and throughout the east generally
to religious leader of any description.
Thus the sultan of Turkey is e MOI
lah, because he is the supreme head Of
the moslem world. And there are hun
dreds of others. To most of the more
conspicuous among them is pref1ed
the adjective mad" This. however.
must not be taken to mean that they
are insane. the word being used rather
in its oriental significance Of in
spired." The person of the mollah Is
sacred Not even the mighty Hab-
bullah himself would care to lay
sacrilegious finger on one of these
sanity personages. If he were TO ven
ture such an unheard of thing ven
geance would surely overtake him.
For it is the cardinal principle OF the
Ulima-as the mollahs are collectively
termed-that an injury purposeiy
caused to one of their number can Only
be atoned for by the death of the In
dividual inficting it.

The indignant husband says he left
his wife outside while he went into

the lady improperly. The defendant
says that some smart aleck pulled

snake Ieaped on him and that while
he was expressing his indignation the
lady got into the line of fire. At any
rate the Barstow man admitted that
the language he was scattering around

COURT DECLINES
TO FREE C. BICK
Habeas Corpus Writ Denied by
Judge Dibell of Joliet in
Incest Case.
MAY ASK A WRIT OF ERROR
Plea That IndeterrnInate Sentence
Should Not Have Been Given
Fails to Bring Liberty.

NJ. J. McEniry today received mes
sage stating that Judge Dorrance Di
bell of the Will county circuit court
had declined TO issue a writ of habeas
corpus in the case of George Bick oil
Moline, sent up two years ago in the
circuit court in Rock Island on the
charge of incest While a copy of the
decision has not been received the
presumption is that the court took the
position that the proper remedy OF
the prisoner, if there is any, lies in a
writ of error
Mr. McEniry represented States
Attorney Floyd Thompson when the
case was argued at Ottumwa one week
ago Attorney Dan R. Burke appeared
for Attorney General Lucey and r. w.
Martin, states attorney of VIII coun-
ty, also was interested. John p. Ma
honey of Joliet appeared for Bick.
Based On Late Decision.
Bick was sentenced under the in
act by the late Judge
William Gest after he had entered a
plea of guilty and waived jury trial
His effort to gain his liberty is based
on n decision by the state supreme
court last April handed down in the
Afford case to the effect that the
statutes call for a determinate SEN
tence of from one to 20 years when
incest is proven, the jury or the court
naming the term.
If the writ prayed for had been is
sued by Judge Dibell, Bick would have
been set free at once and the state
would have had no recourse Under
4 writ of error a retriaI is possible.
