Mrs. Sheedy Case

The motion to admit Mrs. Sheedy to ball came up in district court this morning, and the application was refused following is the judge's entry: "It appears that information has been filed against the defendant, the application is refused. Defendant excepts" Mrs. Sheedy has filed an affidavit and motion in county court for reasonable allowance, so that she may be able to devote something to proving her innocence, which she avers. The estate is represented by F. M. Hall, for John Fitzgerald, and Stearns & Strode for her, in this matter.

There appears to be a race between the prosecution and defense to see which can secure Attorney Zink's release first. This morning the defense drew up papers for application to Judges Field for a writ of habeas corpus to release Zink, but they didn't have the money to whack up that time. The writ was to be asked for on the ground that there was a flaw in the commitment. In the meanwhile the prosecution telephoned to the court to dismiss the case, and release Zink was simply acting as agent for Mrs. Bossler a widow in Nauvoo III., and as there had been no settlement of accounts, it would be different to make a charge of embezzlement tic, which probably occasioned the charge of mind of the prosecution
