in this case, Judge j. McC. Martin of

which were declared by the court to
be irregular because they were issued
in county beyond the county and jul
dicial district in which he was tried
and convicted. Marley is now held in
the Kinds county Jail at this place,
pending final disposition of his appeal
on it's merits. After his conviction in
in Tallahatchie county and the result

officials to the county Jail of Coahoma
at Clarksdale, which is in the Elev-

writ of habeas corpus was sought,
and granted by judge in that district,
which, as the supreme court held was
