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.
