DEFENDANT TAKES ADVAN-
TAGE OF ERROR IN COURT
PROCEEDINGS AND HAS SEN
TENCE CUT DOWN.

". A Sail. who some months aro
was sentenced to Tour Years in the
County jail on as many charges, has
secured his liberty through the me-
dunn of writ of habeas corpus.
chiefly, it is said, through clerical
error in the entry Of the sentence i'm
posed on him. His attorney, Philip
D. Beall, noting that the sentence had
been entered not in exact accordance
with law, took the question before
Judge c. Moreno s~es. of the court
of record, and upon a properly legal
showing, succeeded in getting his
client released from custody. after
the latter had served total of
about fourteen months of the four
year aggregate sentence.
The defendant which figured in
this case was sentenced oy Hon.
kirke Monroe. when he was Judge
of the court of record. and the pen
atty was handed out upon a plea of
guilty to each of four counts against
him When asked if he had any
thing to say why sentence should not
be passed upon him, Sail caused
some interest when he asked that the
judge give me the limit" When
told that it might be a long time,
the defendant insisted upon what he
had first asked. ana when Judge
Monroe sentenced him to one year
each on the four charges which we're
against him.
There is a certain legal form in the
entry of sentences on the record. the
supreme court stimulating that IT
should be so entered. That it was
not so entered, it is claimed, is the
main reason why Sail was given his
liberty when the writ was argued be-
fore the judge in chambers.

Noticeable Slackening of
Hostilities Pending First
Appearance Chancellor.
KORNILOFF'S ARMY
HOLDS BACK ENEMY
Germans Reported to Have
Ceased Trying to Over
come French at eVrdun.
Associated Press Summary.

With interest diverted for a mo-
ment from the fighting fronts where
there has been a noticeable slacken-
ing of hostilities, attention is focused
on the converting Thursday of the
German reichstag. At the opening
session may be heard the first utter
ances of the new imperial chancellor,
DR.. Michaelis, concerning his stand
on the war. His utterances are eX-
pected to indivate whether Germany
will continue her warfare without
abatement. Some believe he will lean
toward peace.
British and Germans continue an
artillery duel in Belgium.
On the Russian front, General Kor
niloff's army, east of Galica, is stub
bornly holding back the reinforced
Austro-German ramies, which are en-
deavoring to wrest positions recently
won in the Halicz and Laluscz sectors.
Germans have ceased trying to
overcome French gains in the Verdun
sector. They are now contenting
sthemselves with throwing shells on
positions of General Petain's men, and
bilGiil W SNdCudbGhs
General Korniloff's armies in East
ern Galica have been held up for a
time by the hurrying of heavy con-
tingents of German reserves to the
front, stiffening up the Austrian de-
lenses along the river Lomnica.
The holding of this river line is
vital to the safety of the Teutonic
position not only in this part of the
front, but northward to the Galacian
border and that stubborn resistance
would be offered there had been an
ticipated.
Meanwhile there is notable activity
along the Franco Belgian front. The
French at Verdun, have just Complet-
ed an important operation in the re-
alignment of their front northwest
of Verdun, which was disturbed by
German attacks in the vicinity of Hill
304 late last month.
The French, in fact, carried their
successful counter attacks even be-
yond the original line and drove two
thirds of a mile into the German front
from Avocourt wood to the west of
Hill 304.
The new ground is being firmly
held, several counter thrusts under
taken by the crown princes troops
last night being completely repulsed'
On the British front there is pro-
nounced aerial activity and there has
been a notable amount of heavy work
done by the artillery, particularly
along the lines in Belgium
