Habeas Corpus Hearing
 Scheduled for Tomorrow

Hartford. Feb. 13 R-The habeas corpus action of Louis Pepe. of New Haven, held at the state prison at Wethersfield on a federal deporta tion warrant, which was to have been heard today before U. s. District Judge Edwin s. Thomas was post poned because of the holiday.
 It had been agreed by counsel that statement of facts in the case, with briefs, be submitted to Judge Thomas at New Haven on Wednes- day or Thursday at latest.
 The federal government contends that four sentences on as many counts, imposed on Pope for arson, constitute four separate offonses and thus make Pope eligible for deporta- tion. Pope, through his lawyer, holds as the punishment was meted out on one day it constitutes but a single conviction. The federal immigration law provides deportation when an alien has been sentenced to im- prisonment for more than one year at least twice.

 A letter has been turned over to Princeton university by the family Of James s. Knox, describing the shooting Of President Lincoln and the subsequent chase of his assassin.
 The letter reads in part:
 Dear Father-It Is with. sad feel iEg that l take up my pen to ad- dress you. Last Friday night at 16 o'clock l witnessed the saddest tragedy ever to be enacted in this country. Notwithstanding my promise to you not to visit the thea ter, could not resist the temptation to see General Grant and the Presi- dent and when the curtain at Ford's rose on the play Our American Cousin my roommate and I were seated in the second row orchestra seats. just beneath the Presidents box. The President entered the theater at sls o'clock, amid deafen- irg cheers and the rising of all Everything was cheerful and never was our magistrate more enthusias- tically welcomed or more happy Many pleasant allusions were made to him in the play, to which the audience gave deafening response while MT.

STEWART FIGHTING
 ID REMAIN SILENT
(Continued From First Page)

The senate resolution, the brief essential for the exercise of the power of legilation but is an at- tempt at exercising a judicial func- ton, beyond the powers of the sen- ate. and authorize an inquiry into the private affairs of individuals"
 Power Is Questioned
 The power of the senate to com- pei a private individual to appear and testify is confined to cases where the information is essential to enable the senate efficiently to exercise legislative function and does not in- clude the right to make general in- quiry," the brief contended. It was argued that Stewart answered every question of public interest asked him and refused to reply to only those that dealt with private and personal matters, "the answers to which in no way could furnish information es- sential to the efficient performance of any legislative function of the senate"
 The petitioner. said the brief. was arrested solely for the purpose of securing his attendance as a wit ness before the senate. Until a witness has beSn duly subpoenaed and has refused to attend. there is no authority in the courts to attach him to secure his.
 After citing what it said would be the procedure in court, Stewarts petition continued:
 Unnecessary Authority
 The power asserted and eNercis- ed by the senate i'll this case is un- necessary and is arbitrary and an invasion of the petitioners constitu- tional right not to be deprived of his liberty without due process of law.
 We respectfully submit" the petition concluded. that it clearly appears that petitioner has answered every question put to him by the sen- ate committee. the answers to which could throw any possible light upon the matters of public interest. His
