Before No Justice but Woodward. WRITS CAUSE A TANGLE. Whitman’s Prohibition Order Ties Up Court’s Action on Habeas Corpus. District-Attorney Whitman, after tem- porarily halting the Cherles H. Hyde habeas corpus proceedings in Brooklyn to-day made a vigorous but vale at- tempt to have Hyde's parole revoked and to restore the ball bond which wap surrendered on Wednesday. Tho parole was allowed to stand, and then Max D. Steuer, counsel for Hyde, announced that he, as custodian of his client, would not produce him before anybody but Justice Woodward, who granted the parole. This means that Hyde will not be in the Criminal Branch of the Supreme Court Monday morning at 10 o'clock, when the District-Attorney Intends to move his trial, which waa set to be heard before Justice Vernon M. Davis. ‘The prospect opens the way for a logal tangle that the Court of Appeals will have to etraighten out—with a posai- bilty of the District-Attoraey bringing some sort of a proceeding having for ite object the seizure of Hyde under @ warrant and his Incarceration in the Tombs, PROHIBITION WRIT SERVED BE- FORE COURT HEARING. Justicns Woodward was prepared to hear arguments on the Hyde habeas corpus writ at 19 o'clock this morning, but the proceedings were halted whon Hyde and his counsel were served in the corridor of thy Borough Hall, Brooklyn, with a copy of « writ of pro- hibition restraining Justice Woodward, who signed the habeas corpus writ, from taking any action, The writ of prohi- bition was issued yesterday by the Ap- pallate Division of the Supreme Court of New York County, Arguments on the writ of prohibi= tion are to be held in the Appellate Division on Tuesday mornin; The District-Attorney procured this ‘writ because he fears that the writ of habeas corpus will serve as a weapon for Hyde to break down the indict- ment. Justice Woodward was not pleased at the action of the Appellate Division of tho First Department in prohibit if] ing him from hearing arguments ono writ of habeas corpus. The writ of prohibition is based upon the legal contention that while the Supreme Court of one county ting no Jud, in another county may issue @ writ of habeas corpus affecting the case of @ person fncarcerated by the courts of the first county. JUSTICE WOODWARD CLAIMS JURISDICTION, “The writ of habeas corpus issued by sald Justice Woodward to-day at the opening of his court, “was iseued on the authority of the case of th people rel.

After the court proceedings Mr. Whit- man said he expected to call Hyde to trimi on Monday, unless Justice Davis advised him to the contrary. “Mr. Hyde,” sald Mr. Steuer, when told what the District-Attorney had sald, “has been paroled by the court in my oustody.

He piled all the siiverware on the dining room table and left it there. A desk he ransacked yielded but five pen- nies, which he left behind stacked up. ‘When he departed he took a couple of bottles of wine, a bottle of Hquor, sev- eral clgars and Mr. Rupreoht’s fue- lined overcoat. In place of the fur- ined coat he left one of black broad- cloth, Mned with satin, : Detectives investigating the ourglary heard that a house had been entered in Westminster Road.

And in ten minutes they had the fire out and the menace removed. A dozen men were at work on the su- perstructure, which carries the hoisting apparatus from the bottom of the 217+ foot shafi, when the fire started in a tool house. Adjoining this house was another little structure, carefully guard- ed at all times and covered, as an extra precaution, with sheet iron. In it were twenty box each containing twenty- five pounds of dynamite. The workmen knew all about this dynamite, and when flames burst from the toolhouse they hastened to leave the danger zon Word was sent to the men in the shaft that there was a fire above-ground, and they wanted to come to the surface until they were reassured the blaze amounted to little. The firemen wore prompt in respond- ing to the alarm and, although they were told of the dynamite in the fron- clad house, they worked wholly un- concerned, because the tool house was ‘blazing angrily and threatening to de: stroy the entire superstructure. ‘The fire crept to within ten feet of the dynamite shed before it was all out. iii ROOSEVELT PETITION FILED IN NEW JERSEY.
