WRIT FOR CHILDERS

Dublin, Nov. 60
A legal duel for the life OF Erskine
Childers, involving the right OF the new
military courts to pass death sentences
upon armed rebels. was fought to-day
and tonight and adjourned till to-mor-
row. the Master of the Rolls, sitting in
the civil tribunal. issuing a stay of exc
cution following application by attor-
neys for the release of Chllders in
habeas corpus proceedings.
Meanwhile the fate of Childers is a
a mystery. The military authorities will
neither deny nor affirm whether he Is
dead or alive. 1t is rumored in many
quarters that he was executed this morn
ing, together with eight other Repubii-
cans. but well informed persons feel sure
this is untrue. They behave 1t may
have been the intention last night to
execute him, but that the act was de-
layed on account OF the application by
attorneys for a provisional writ of
habeas corpus at the house of Mr.. O'Con-
nor, the Master of the Rolls. at mid
night
Whether the military court will recog-
nize the jurisdiction OF the civil cour.
and accept its interference Is another
question. The whole country is keenly
interested in the case, and ii is believed
the military are technically sure OF
their ground, but it is expected there
win be delay until the civil decision
is given, probably in a day or two.
The Government takes the attitude
that the case is really beyond the juris-
Of iUh
state Of armed rebellion exists. Home
Minister Kevin O'Higgins\ explained to
THE New YoRK HERALD correspondent
that the Government could readily show
that armed rebellion or a state of war
actually existed, which II Is now at
tempting to do, and that the court is
not entitled to Interfere In acts of the
army done as matter of military neces-
sity.
A habeas corpus motion demanding
production of the eight other men SEN
fenced by the military court also Is
sought by Childers's attorneys. They
were unable to ascertain the Identity OF
these men as Timothy Sullivan. In behalf
Of the Adjutant-General.r refused to com
municate tho names to the court. which
brought the observation that the Master
OF the Rolls could interpret the action
only as an attempt by the Provisional
Government to limit the jurisdiction of
the High Court.
The sentence, which there Is good rea-
son to believe is death. has been ap-
proved by the army council, consisting
of five high officers: Gems. Mulcahy
MacMahon, O'Sullivan and McGrath, and
Commandant O'Hagarty. An attorney
representing the Adjutant-General, re-
fused the request OF counsel for Chiiders
for assurance that sentence would not
be executed until the conclusion OF
