REQU|S|TION IS
BEING RESISTED
SECOND HAREAS CORPUS PRO-
cEEDING BROUGHT IN BEHALF
OF YOUNG MINGUs, HELD ON
INFORMATION FROM GEORGIA.

Habeas corpus proceedings for the
second time were sworn out yesterday
in behalf of Harry Mingus, the young
man held here for the arrival OF Geor-
gia officers, who are expected to come
for him and return the prisoner to
Warm Springs. Ga, where a charge
of selling whiskey is said to be dock
eted against him.
Last week habeas corpus proceed
ings were heard in behalf of Mingus
and the latter was ordered held as a
fugitive rom justice. Since then 4
requisition has been honored by the
governor of Florida for the governor of
Georgia, and an officer has been ex-
pected for the past few days, follow
ing the issuance of the requisition do
cumentS.
Yesterday, however, the attorneys
for MinguS, who were Messrs. Bea1l
and Reese, tried habeas corpus pro-
ceedings on a new and unexpected
angle, attacking the writ because it
did not have the affidavit attached.
Then there was no recital of offense,
t is also alleged. and it is believed
hat the Georgia officer, who will be
rere today will likely return to Warm
springs without his prisoner, who is
.ow in the county jail.

were INDUCED n until a late hour. A
most excellent supper was served by
Mrs. Starkel and daughter to which
all of the boys, even Judge Breed n,
who is notably weak in the eating

left with the firm conviction that the
