juring his business.
He was at first allowed to return home
by the state authorities, but later was
notified by the war department that his
refusal to take the oath did not discharge
him from his obligation to obey the or

much as he had not been discharged and
his term Of enlistment had not expired,
making him subject to military author
ity under the Dick bill.
Emerson's counsel, on the other
hand, contended that the new Nation
al Defense act passed June abolished
the state militia. He pointed out that
the act specifically sets forth that no
militia will be recognized except as
in accordance with the terms of the
act. The act provides new oath,
which the defendant declined to take,
making HIM. therefore, counsel argued,
no longer subject to military author
ity.
Lieutenant B. E. Gray Of the regu-
lar army. who has been stationed a.
the birmingham camp, stated that il
his opinion Congress did not intend
to abolish the state militia immediate
ly on the passage Of the new law, as
to do so would leave the country with
cut any means of defense until the
men were sworn in again. 1t was pro-
posed to make this change July /, he
said, but owing to the threatening
danger on the Southern border the
change was made in June. He con-
tended that Emerson's contract to do
military duty could rot be avoided by
him without the consent Of the gov
eminent. Until he received his formal
discharge Emerson was subject to
military authority, he claimed. To sup
port his contention he pointed to the
ray the militia received after the pas
sage of the new national defense act.
Judge Dodge then remarked that
the case presented certain difficulties,
but that on the evidence as presented
he would order writ to issue in be-
half Of Emerson. Because Of certain
technical faults in the papers, how
ever. he would continue the case un-
til tomorrow morning, he said.
