PONzI PLANS ID CONTINUE FIGHT.
EXtraditiOn From Texas to
 Massachusetts Granted

Austin, Tex, Aug 3. P>-Requests of the governor of Massachusetts for the extradition to Boston of Charles Ponzi, financial wizard" who is wanted to serve sentence of from seven to nine years as common and notorious thief" was granted yesterday by Governor Miriam A.. Ferguson.
 Ponzi, who is in jail at Houston, has another card to play in his fight to escape return to Massachusetts, hearing on his application for a writ of habeas corpus being set for tomorrow, before Judge Charles Ashe, in district court at Houston.
 Should Judge Ashe hold that Ponzi Is illegally restrained of his liberty, the governors extradition order would be without effect and Ponzi would be released from custody.
 Should sthe court refuse to order his release, Ponzi has announced he will appeal to the state court of criminal appeals and then If neces- sary carry the case to the state su- preme court. Pending decision of the appeal he will be entitled to his liberty under s12,000 bond. The appeals court does not sit until October. 2
 Lawyers for Ponzi will ask a writ of habeas corpus on the ground that he was arrested illegally when he was taken from an Italian ship at New Orleans several weeks ago.
 It is also their contention that he would be subjected to double jeo- pardy if he Is taken back to serve a state sentence for an offense for which he asserts he already has served a federal prison term.

the system a REAL cleansing, and
clears out old poisons which usually

that you can eat better and sleep
