REFUSED WRIT OF HABEAS CORPUS
Fairbanks, June 30.—Judge Lyons, sitting
in chambers, dei ik-d a writ of habeas corpus for
the release of Matt Kearney, now serving a six
months’ sentence in the federal jail in this city
for impersonating an officer on Ester creek some
weeks ago. The court ruled that Commissioner I
Arthur Frame erred in refusing Kearney a jury !
trial, and explained that the proper way to cor-:
rect such error would be by appeal or by petition;
for review—neither of which had been exercised '
by the prisoner's attorney within the statutory
[imitations for such actions—consequently young
Kearney will, in all probability, serve out his
sentence. He is said to be a nephew of Dennis
Kearney, the “sand lot orator” of San Francisco.

bility, play out the season’s scheduled games.
