Judge Wheeler In district court yester- day morning handed down his decision in the habeas corpus case of Lewls Seldon and Wayne Shoup, the porter and barber on the Northwestern-Union Paeifio over- 1and limited charged with robbing J. C. Fanning, a Northwestern detective. He not only refused to grant the application, but ordered that the defend: be re- wandsA tn tha custedy of the sherift on the charge of grand larceny, as well as that of larceny from the person. Un behalf of the prisomers it was con- tended that the offense with which they were charged was not larceny from the person, as Detective Fanning had not the coat on at the time it is alleged the money was taken. The court, however, held that larceny from the person could be com- mitted even when the clothing was not being worn, but was hanging in the same room and where the owner would don it before leaving. In this case it was charged that the money was taken by Porter Sel- don from Fanning's coat while the latter was being shaved by Barber Shoup. Judge Wheeler further held that the offense as charged constituted grand larceny, it ha ing been shown that the pocketbook from which the $10 is alleged to have been ab- stracted contalned $45 in curremcy and that to have taken the one $10 bill out the whole sum of $45 must have been first taken from the pocketbook. The fact that the balance of the money was placed back | in the pocketbook and later in the coat | for fear of detection did not alter the c: i The ‘application of the prisoners that | their bail be reduced from $500 each to | | $200 was also denied by the court and they | were sent back to the county jail to walt the action of the grand jury, which will meet September 2.
