the Pnlted Mates Court here today In the
habeas torpus pronedlng brought by at
tornes for the suffragists to make the Dis
trict of Columbia authorities show cause
whv the prisoners should not be released.
Those missing, and whom the authorities
claimed are too III to nuke the fourteen
mile Journey from Washington, are Mrs.
Lawrence Lew's, of Philadelphia; Mlsl '
Lucy Hums and Mrs. Henry Buttervvorth,
of New York
Their absence brought on u long discus
sion by counsel for both tide-, the suffra
gists' lawjirs contending that their Illness
bore out the'r contention that the prisoners
were being Illegally treated, '
Dudley Field Malorie. the New York lay
er and politician, who gate up IiIr position
as collector of the jxjrt of New Yorlf to
espouse the suffrage cause, was on hand to
assist Matthew O'Brien, the Washington
iittorne), as counsel for the suffragists. .
The release of the prisoners was opposed
by V II Stetens, assistant corporation
counsel of tho District of Columbia, and
Hlch.iid H Mann, United States Attorney
for Virginia.
The proceeding was on the plea by ..the
attorneys for the nuffrng'iits that thy be
released on the ground that tbey were Ille
gally committed to Occiwjnnn and 'since'
being Imprisoned hate been subjected to
tarlous Indignities and brutd! treatment.
Attorney O'Brien deinnnded of the court
that the authorities he rnmpe led to produce
the three missing prisoners. The Govern
ment attornes presented a physician's cer
tlllcate to the effect that they were too 111
to be removed from the Washington Jail,
where they were taken when their condition
became serious.
"Bilen deinnnded that Siperlntendent
Zlnkhani, of the Washington Jail, who was
In the audienie, be asked to testify and
Judge Waddlll called him to the stand
Questioned closely regarding the condition
of Mrs Lewis, Zlnkliam said:
"She Is a mighty sick woman"
"Is she as slcli as Miss Burns?" asked
Dudlev Field Malone
"Yes, she s worse," Clnkliam rep led.
"She Is worse today than she ,was when
brought from OccotU.m "
Both Mrs Lewis and Miss Burns are be
ing forcibly fed three times a day, he tes
tified. Mr Malone then questioned Zlnkham
about denting Mrs. Lewis's brother ind
s'sttr and physician permission to see her.
The statement by Malone tlit the three
absent prisoners were able and anxious to
come to court Interested Judge Waddlll.
"These ladles are grown women." he
said "If they want to come to court It
seems to me they should come because they
are as much Interested, 1 presume, In their
own health, as we are. We will take that
question up iu a few minutes, however."
DISCUSSION TinnsdMK.
Two hours and a half was consumed by
the attorneys In tiresome, drawnout, techni
cal arguments about what each side wished ,
