Imer Ferguson. trapper and guilds of
/ the Iia H1 Tonka country, under sem
tcnce of ten years in the state prison
for killing his wife u this city two
ana half years ago, travelled sixty
miles uncscorted in order To- volun-
tarily surrender himself to the prison
authorities
The hunter was busy setting traps
in the Ha la Tonka woods when the
message camc. He didn't wait to fin
/ ish his work For twelve days he
struggled to overcome innumerablc
obstacles TO reach the state peniten-
tiary to give himself up.
Released ON nabcus Corpus Writ
when he finally reached the peni-
itcntiary. Ferguson learned that his
attorneys in Springfield had already
instituted proceedings to obtain a new
trial Application for habeas corpus
had already been granted and the
warden at the penitentiary told him
he was at liberty to return home AS
soon as his new bond was executed.
The hunter was brought to SPRING
field last night and bond for $4,000
was made before Judge Orin Patter-
son. Pcttitno for new trial will be
based on the fact that the decision
affirming Ferguson's sentence was not
indorsed by Presiding Judge Faris.
Hearing before the fun bench OF the
supreme court will be asked by the
attorneys.
The charge under which Ferguson
was found guilty and sentenced to a
term in the state penitentiary was
based on a tragedy growing out Of the
eternal triangle"
