Tliey Were Discharged.
Jacksonville, Fla., Jan. 8.—In the
criminal court of record tho attorneys
for Corbett and Mitchell appeared, and,
confidently expecting that Judge Phillips
would decide the case against them, had
their clients in tho circuit court, where
arrangements had been mado for a hear
ing by Judge Call, on motion that a
writ of habeas corpus be issued aud the
men released.
But, .as soon as criminal court opened,
J. B. Christie, prosecuting attorney for
the court arose and said no information
against Corbett and Mitchell had been
filed with him or with the
judge or clerk, and he saw
no reason, therefore, why they should
not be released, aud their bondsmen bo
relieved of any further responsibility.
The judge so ordered, and the case was
ended then and there.
This is a triumph for Governor Mitch
ell and tho opponents of the Duval Ath
letic club, for it shoved the case out of
the circuit court, and thu» prevented th e
rendering of a favorable decision, which
the club had hoped for.
It is said that the governor put the
screws on to Christie and forced him to
this course. Good lawyers say that a
record of the case in the county court
and the binding over of the accused to
the criminal court was sufficient "infor
mation” for Attorney Christie to have
prosecuted the case upon.
