M'KAY HABEAS
CORPUS DENIED
Appeals Court Holds Indict-
ment Valid; Effects Fer
guson Indictment.

Austin. Texas. Dec. 5.-The court
Of criminal appeals today, in an opin-
ion by associate judge Morrow, dis
missed the application for a writ OF
habeas corpus in the case Of John C.
/ Mckay, former secretary OF state.
The effect Of this decision by the
higher court today IS TO hold that
the indictments returned against
John C. Mckay. former governor
James I. Ferguson and other officials
are not void. and that these cases
viii have to be tried.
The higher court held that the
criminal district court Of Travis cOun-
ty had the authority TO extend its
term. therefore the contention OF the
relatOr. Mckay. that the indictments
were void because returned in vaca-
ton is not sustained.
Does Not Pass on Irregularities.
I'VE do not pass upon the question
as to whether the Indictment contains
Irregularities, said the court This
Is a question which the court has con-
sistently refused to consider except
upon appeal"
The Mckay application for a writ
OF habeas corpus was not an appeal
but an original application While
the court does not pass on the Ques-
tion as to any irregularities that may
exist in the indictments, it holds that
the indictments are not void and were
legally returned by the Travis cOun-
u Grand jury Of the criminal district
court
May Set Trial Date.
There are two indictments pend
ing against Mckay. charging the
misapplication Of public funds. It is
now expected the criminal district
court viii fix a date for the trial Of
this and the cases against the former
governor and other defendants.
