Harrison On Habeas Cor
pus Writ
An application for a writ of habeas
orpus was filed in the office of thp
county clerk yesterday. It was granted
by Judge Percy R. Kelly, eommaiKling
Governor Ben Oleott and Robert btev
eus, warden of the Oregon state peni
tentiary, to produce the body of George
Harrison beforo the court at 10:30
o'clock on the morning of May 12,
HUH.
Just at present George Ihu'ison is
serving a twutence of from one to two
years ia the penitentiary, seat there
from Multnomuh county. His lawyer,
Tom Garland of Portland, is making au
endeavor to get him out.
In the aiedicatiou for a writ of ha
beas corpus, the attorney states tBat
"George Harrison ia illegally impris
oned and restrained from bis liberty by
Governor Ben Oleott and Robert otcv
ens, warden of the state penitentiary."
He asks that a writ be issued under the
seal of the circuit court of Marion coun
ty, directing the warden to produce the
body of said Harrison aud to show cause
for his detention.
In the application for a writ, it is al
leged that the two indectments of the
Multnomah grand jury against Harrison
were dismissed in the circuit court of
that county. Also that the .journal of
the court does not show that Harrison
was ever ordered to the penitentiary.
It is also alleged that the judgments
rolls nf Multnomah' county will show
that both indictments roio regularly
dismissed und that they do not show
that Ilurrisou was ever ordered to be
confined in the Oregon penitentiary.
The allegation is also made that there
was no legal authority for the issuance
of any certified copy of any aenience
against Harrison and that there was no
authority for the execution nf a judg
ment. Also that the certified copy of
commitment held by the warden is not
founded upon any journal entry or any
stence of tho Multnomah county circuit
court. It is alleged that tap impuson
meat is not by virtue of any order,
judgment, decree or process tf any
court.
Acording to a copy of records filed
with the writ, Harrison was "onimitted
to tho Oregon state penitentiary Janu
