United States District Attorney Wil
liam C Bristol has received Information
from Attorney-General Charles J. Bona
parte stating that ths decision of the
United tatas suprema ccrurt In the Los
Angeles removal cases had been to tne
effect of sustaining the writ of habeas
corpus, but that the decision had been
made wltnout prejudice to the govern
ment snd Mr. Bristol can renew the
proceedings, using enough avldenc to
show cause for the removal of men In.
dieted for land - fraud to Oregon. In
the proceedlnga lir which the suprems
court decided, only the Indiotment was
used as evidence to show cause why
the men should be removed to Port
land.
This Is a distinct victory for ths gov
srnment When the decision of ths su
preme court was mads known, Mr. Bris
tol determined to go to Los Angeles
and conduct the new proceedings per
sonally. . Hs has great confidence in
1 th goyenimenla caaa against ths men
and has been uniformly sucoessiui in
prosecuting such cases.
Similar esses are now pending In the
famous Wisconsin cases and A. J. Lar
son, representing the indicted men from
that stats, called upon Mr. Bristol yea
terday to talk over th removal of his
clients to Oregon.
The session lasted for several hours
and at the end of the time Mr. Bristol
said that he could reveal nothing that
had taken place save that Mr. Larson
had called en . him for th purpose of
talking over the removal of the Wis
consin men to Portland, it is svldsnt
however, that Mr. Larson wss unsuc
cessful la convincing Mr. Bristol that
the Wisconsin men would be able to
resist . removal. because Mr. Bristol
stated that th government would argue
the cases at th next session of ths
United States circuit court la Wisconsin,
which will be in October. . ' .
Tb men Included In ths Los Angeles
eaaes who were successful In having
their writ of habeas corpus sustained by
