ANDREW GRANGER FIGHTS REQUISITION

Indicted in Cook County He Starts Habeas Corpus Proceedings, to Prevent Removal. Andrew 1 Granger is under arrest and in the Jasper county jail in this city. The arrest was made upon an indiitment issued by the Cook county, 111., court, charging him with having stolen the Cadillac automobile of Ogden McClure, of Chicago, on fOct. 30th. Before his arrest was ordered requisition papers from Governor Dunne, of Illinois, had -been signed by Governor Ralston, of Indiana, and Granger would have been turned over to an officer from Illinois after his arrest had he not begun habeas corpus proceedings to prevent his removal from Indiana.

The requisition alleges that he is a fugitive of justice from Illinois, and it is set out in the habeas corpus proceedings that he could not possibly be a fugitive of justice from that state since he had not been there on the day the alleged theft is supposed to have been com-< mitted and hot since that date. After the habeas corpus proceeding was begun Granger made affidavit for a. change of venue from Judge Hanley, alleging that the judge was prejudiced against him? Moses Leopold was selected to trg, the proceeding and the time was set for 3:30 o’clock Saturday, afternoon.
