He was embraced in the same indictment with Pettibone, and was held in custody for trial under that indictment. He sued out a writ of habeas ,corpus from the Supreme Court of Idaho, but the writ was dismissed by that court, Ex parte Moyer, 85 Pac. 897, and a writ of error has been prosecuted to this court. That is case No. 266 on our present docket. He then sued out a writ of habeas corpus from the Circuit Court of the Unitéd States, and his discharge being .refused by the court, he prosecuted the present appeal.
For the reason stated in Pettibone's case,'the final order is
Affirmed.
