Harry Vlnccn' has had a checkered oaresi with the law , and Just now he Is havlu ; a tin re cornered struggle. He In In jail If l.ai. astfr county on the charge cf brlnglut etiilen property Into that county.lo / Is nlsc a defendant In the district caurl of Sarp ) county , on bond , to nnswcr the charge oi buiglnry In Douglas county he was the plaintiff In the haucis corpus proceeding' before Judge Slabaugh restraint was based or Ills | ) k-a jf unlawful thn fact that the charges In Lancaster nnd Sirpy both grow out of one alleged orteimc In 1S18 n Hork Island freight tar was broken into nt Papllllon and a lot of clothing vulueel at several hundred dollars was stolen Thu clothing * an In shipment to merchants Ir various partu of the state , and the railroad company. s carrier , became liable. Vincent wan charged with the crime and was Imllctsd Ho has had twr in Sarpy for burglary tilnls there , but each time the Jury fullcil Is still pending ami to agree and the case will be called for the third trial some time next month. Vincent gave bond In Sarpy and went to Lincoln , where the Lancaster e mnty authorities picked him up. It bclnt ! alleged that some of the stolen clothing was brought there by Vincent. On that clurgc he Is still In Jail. Therefore the habea- corpUH nnd 1'npii- County attorneys from Lincoln to against the habeas Hon were hero argue corpus , -while the nbHont defendant wan well fortified with local legal talent The countj attorneys set forth In the beginning of the trial that this court has not Jurisdiction In the case , since Vincent is not a prluoncr In this county nor In this Judicial district Attorneys for the defendant disputed thla , theory nnd urged as a basis for Inbeas corpus X that the prisoner being In Jeopardy in thu Sarpy county court cannot legally bo held In Lancaster county for another branch ol the tame offense or. In other word. , that the Sarpy county charge takes perccdence over the other nnd that the trial In Sarpy should end the prosecution If Vincent were liberated from Jail by habeas corpus the county establish a nttornejT bay It would precedent by which a prisoner In the sandhills of northwestern Nebraska nny silo for habeas corpus away down In the Bouthca.st corner of the state , adjoining thu Missouri line This , itwas pointed out , would materially Incrcane costs and jmt the etatu's attorneys to great Inconvenience. Nearly every law library In Omaha was Boarched for authorities and more than r.OO volumes were piled on tables in Judge Slabaugh's court room. Bailiff Hcacox wag kept busy since Wednesday afternoon hunt ing for books. So spirited did the argument become on the point of Jurisdiction that one of the attorney wild gestures overturned i torney > n hjs cuspidor In front of the Judgej's bench. The Incident did not disconcert the attorney In the least At the conclusion of thu nrgument. shortly afteir 1 o'clock , Judge Slabaugh denied the writ , and Vincent must remain In Jail nl Lincoln until his trial Is called IIAMC SKKKS ' 10 C-oTTnCT JIOM3Y. .Mc-rcliHiitM * 'Nnlloiml Trie * tit IJiitorer .liiilviiii-nt .VuillnM Murrnj.
