He Waf'Glad the Hen Were Separated

of Prizefighting Coaid Not Be Eater*
•elned—The Contestant#* Injuries.
New York, Jane 10.—Peter Maher
and Tom Sharkey, the heavyweight pa*
gilists, who were arretted during their
fight at the Palace Athletic club, were
discharged by Magistrate Coleman in
the Harlem police court' The magis
trate declared that the conduct of the
men in the seventh round might have
been disorderly and said he was glad
they had been locked up, bat that
nevertheless, so far as he conld see there
had been no violation of the Horton
law. The fight resulted in a draw.
The first to arrive in court was the
Maher party. The crowds on the street
greeted Maher with a cheer. Soon after
Sharkey and his friends appeared. They
received a reception similar to that of
Maher. The two pugilists did not seem
to pay much attention to one another.
This was not, however, the slightest
evidenoe of ill feeling.
HtilaacItllD on the Stand.
The case being called. Magistrate Cor
nell invited Inspector McLaughlin to
tell him all about the case.
The inspector said he believed the law
was violated by the men. There
slugging and knocking down, and he
believed it his duty to stop them.
Magistrate Cornell interjected that 'a
good many things happened at a per
formance of that kind that wonld not
look well at a 5 o'clock tea.
The inspector insisted that there was
slugging, brutal pounding and knock
ing down. If that did nokconstitnte a
prizefight, he did not know what did.
Magistrate Cornell stated he had read
the aoconnt of the fight and while he
believed the inspector was perfectly
right in separating and arresting the
men, he did not think they conld. strictly
be held for taking part in a prizefight.
Counsel for Sharkey claimed that
there was no violations as far as the
sparring contest went and there wonld
have been none.
The attorney for Maher declared that
Assemblyman Horton himself witnessed
the contest and declared that the affair
was perfectly legal up to the seventh
round.
The inspector stated that he went to
the dressing room of the men before
they entered the ring and read the law
to them and told them there most be no
slogging.
Ma«l«trate Cornell Talks.
Here Magistrate Cornell interposed:
*T think yon did right, inasmuch as
the men were disorderly. But yon most
understand that they received much en
couragement The public had appar
ently expressed great interest in what
they were about to da They are big,
powerful men and presumably high
tempered. It is not to be wondered St
if they lost their heads. On that ground
an arrest was warranted if th?y aotdd
disorderly. I am glad they were looked
np and wonld have been glad had they
been forced to stay all night in the jail.
But I will not entertain a complaint of
prizefighting against them. I think
they ore within the law."
Turning to Maher and Sharkey, who
stood side by side before him, Magis
trate Cornell said:
Maher and Sharkey,- yon are dis
charged."
There was a quick clearing out of the
courtroom and a crowd of admirers es
corted the pugilists to the Third avenue
cable cars.
It was noted that as iar aa the ap-
jarance of the men went there had
sen no slugging. -One of Maher’s
eyes was somewhat bloodshot, but his
friends said that was a constitutional
affliction. There was a little scratch
behind Sharkey's left ear, but that, his
seconds said, was there a week ago.

TO INVESTIGATE TILLMAN

ernor Kllerbe a Petition.
Columbia, S. 0., Jane 10.—A peti
tion addressed to Governor Ellerbe and
signed by reformers, including a num
ber of office holders, has been received
by his excellenoy. It asks for an inves
tigation of Senator Tillman, as follows:
Many of the newspapers through
out the state are charging Senator Till
man with receiving dispensary rebates,
and Senator Tjllman having in his re
cent letter made a formal demand upon
your excellenoy for an immediate inves
tigation, now we, os reformers', call
upoii yon to order an immediate inves
tigation. If. after a fair and impartial
trial, Mr. Tillman is found guilty, let
him bear the odium and shame that
will neoessarily follow.
If, on the other hand, he is adjudged
innocent, let the same newspapers who
have made the charges do Senator Till
man justice by correcting their oluqrges
and proclaiming him an innocent man
persecuted."

Governor Grants'Blanche Lamont'i Slayer
m Short Reprieve In Order That the Right
of the Federal Court to Interfere In the
Carrying Oat of a Sentence Imposed by
the State Coart May lio Settled.
San Francisco, June 10.—Theodore
Dnrrant, the murderer of Blanche La-
mont, has been reprieved. - Governor
Budd has decided on this course in or
der to settle the rights of the federal
courts to interfere in the execution of a
sentence imposed by the state court.
He has named Jnly. 9 as the day upon
which sentence shall be carried out.
The object of the reprieve, as the attor
ney general explained, is to avoid the
necessity of resentencing the oonvioted
man. If the position taken by the gov
ernor be supported by the state supreme
court the sentence will be carried out
on July 9, just as it would have been
June 11 but for the habeas corpus pro
ceedings.
The necssary telegrams ordering a
stay of execution have been sent to
Sacramento ky the governor. The posi-
S on taken by Governor Budd is that
is habeas corpus proceedings and the
appeal incident to the denial of the writ
I tied out by Dnrrant’s attorneys, does
Pot act as a stay of proceedings. In
other words the governor desires that
the supreme coart pass npon the opin
ion rendered by Attorney General Fitz
gerald, holding that the proceedings do
Constitute a stay.
Governor Bndd's reasons for grant
ing Dnrrant a reprieve until July 9 are
that the legal point he has raised conld
not possibly be decided before the time
fixed for-the execution. He was ad
vised. however, that it might take 80
dayi to decide, even thongh the ques
tions be presented at onoe to the in-
perms court, and hence the reprieve
was deemed necessary.
Charles Garter, who is special coun
sel for Dnrrant in the habeas corpus
roceedings, said he did not feel the
lightest apprehension in the matter of
the ultimate deoiaion in the habeas cor
nu proceedings. He said that he had
een unable to obtain any information
from the attorney general in regtrd to
the proposed course of the governor,
but he added that the attorney general
