LINCOLN. Jan. IS. ( Special. ) Judge.
Hunger In the federal couit today listened
'o ' the closing arguments In the habeas cor- 1
fis cnso of Corporal Fair and Private Jock-
ten find nt the cloac of the seaslon this
afternoon the case was submitted. As the
case Is one of the utmost Importance , Involv-
ItiE far-reaching questions that have never
bcroro been decided by any court , the de
cision will probably not bo handed down for
tevrral days.
The cane Involved not only the rights of
n etato as opposed to those of the civil gov-
trnmont , but also whether Kohllcrs In pur-
eult of a deserter can bo or are authorized
lo shoot the pursued after he has got out
of right and beyond the range of thn guns. i
The guard manual authorizes the ohootlng
by ths sentinel of an escaping prisoner , but
docs not , In express terms , authorize the
shooting of a prisoner who has escaped.
In this cafe It wan contended by the state
thnt there lo no law authorizing the shootIng -
Ing of an escaped prisoner by a soldier , that
to justify such shooting It must be shown
that the men acted within the terms of the
law , that the arrcnt and detention of de
serters who have gone beyond the control
and authority of the United States Is com
mitted by net of congress to the civil
authorities and thnt army officers cannot
perform ourh service , that In attempting to
arrest Morgan the oldlcrs acted In violation
of the laws of the United States nnd In
disobedience of their superior officers , that
the order Issued by the sergeant of the guard
to ths soldleis to shoot to hit was illegal
hrcauan nowhere Justified In Ihc manual
nnd thnt It was afterward superseded by
an officer of the day to notify the civil
authorities and place the matter In their
hands ,
{ 'nun of Hie' ( iovcrninent.
The federal authorities base their side of
the. case on the followlns assertions : That
In ntrlklng a superior officer Morgan ren
dered himself HatUs to the death penalty
nnd that ho knew when ho ran from the
coldlcra who called upon him to halt that he
was taking a desperate chance ; that in tiring
upon the deserter the soldiers obeyed the
orders of a superior officer and that they
were obliged to do so by the oath of en
listment ; that the order was legal because
It was substantially the same as the form
prescribed In the manual ; that the right of
tr < 9 civil authorities to arrest a deserter Is
not an exclusive or a superior one ; that the
KOldlers did not shoot until they had ex
hausted all means to arrest the deserter ;
that If a soldier In tbo discharge exceeds
his authority ho Is answerable to the federal
government and that If any doubt existed In
the minds of the Eoldlers as to the legality
of the order It was their duty to treat It
with obedience.
Attorney General Smyth charged the sol
diers In his argument with shooting down
the man In cold blood , denying , that there
was any law , either federal or state , which
required or permitted them to do so. Mr.
Summers argued that It was the duty of
the soldiers to do as they had done and
that their failure to carry out the order
would have rendered them liable to court-
martial and severe punishment.
Flclit on Sutherland.
The democrats of the Fifth congressional
district are preparing to make a light 'on
Congressman R. D. Sutherland this year if
ho auks for the fusion nomination for a third
term. A prominent democrat from that
district was In Lincoln today and , speaking
of the. situation , said :
"The democrats of the Fifth district , and
oven many of the fusion populists , are
against the third-term proposition and It Is
quite probable that Congressman Sutherland
will encounter serious opposition In his own
convention If he tries to be renomlnated.
There are already several candidates In the
Held , prominent among them being A. C.
Bhallcnbcrger , who will como very near get-
tine the united support of the democrats.
Some of the populists would bo Inclined to
favor n democrat In preference to a third
term for the present congressman. On the
other hand , a good many people In the Fifth
district believe In keeping- man in congress
ns long as possible. This argument will bo
brought to bear on the people who show n
disposition to put up some other candidate
and the prospects are good for a strong
flsht. "

SOUTH DAKOTA SUPREME COURT DICIDES I

'
Dcclnlnn of the Ioner Conrl IN Ite-
verned In the Anttllentloti of
( irnnl II. Ted for n Writ
of llnlieiiN CorpiiN.
1'IEnilK , S. D. . Jan. IS. ( Special Tele
gram. ) In thp supreme court today the ap
plication of Orcnt H. Ted for a writ ot
habeas corpus was granted. This decision
rcvertc * the lower court. Ono of the main
Issues raised was that thu governor did
not paati personally on the requisition pa-
ptrs , but that they were signed In blank
nnd passed upon by the private sorctary. i
The case was from Lawrence county. The j
euprcmo court- bases its findings on Insuf- :
flclciicy of papora ami holds , In re-gard to the
Issuance of the requisition by the governor's .
secretary on papers signed In blank : i
"II was also shown that the warrant purporting - '
porting to be signed by the oxcsutlvo of
t'.ila ' state was never In fact Issued by him ,
but was Issued by some person other than I
the * governor. The duty of examining rcci- :
ulsltlon papers , passing upon their valid
ity and Issuing his warrant devolve upon
the governor personally. It Is a power
that cannot he delegated to any other per- |
son. The liberty of the citizen Is Involved ,
and ho can only be restrained of that lib- ,
crty by the personal act of the governor , '
upon whom the power has been conferred by '
the constitution and laws of the United
States nnd the constitution and laws of !
this state. The execution of the power re- j
quires careful examination of the ? requisition
papers and Involves the exercise of n sound
judgment , aldi l in ease of necessity of the !
advice of the attorney general of the elate.
The liberty of the citizen would be In great
danger If any person could be allowed to
IBFIIO such extradition warrants in the ab
sence of thn governor. The policy of Is
suing such requisition papers has been fol-
Icwcd by all the governors of this state ,
bi'.t moro frequently by Governor Leo than
by any of his predecessors. "
