PROBE IS ILLEGAL

COURT DECLARES LORIMER INQUIRY BY LEGISLATIVE COMMITTEE 13 VOID. ORDERS RELEASE OF TILDEN Habeas Corpus Writs Issued in Contempt Proceedings Are Sustained and Bankers Will Not Have to Appear Before State Senate. Chicago, May 8. Declaring the entire inquiry being conducted by the Helm committee Into the election of Senator Lorlmer to be without warrant of law. Judge A. J. Petit sustained the writs of habeas corpus Issued to prevent Edward Tilden, William C. Cumrulngs and George M. Benedict from being taken before the bar of the state senate at Springfield to answer contempt proceedings. He ordered the immediate release of the relators and assessed the costs of the hearing against the senate, every contention of the attorneys for the senate being denied. Right of Appeal Conceded. One concession was made, however the right of appeal made possible by the entry of Judgment for costs against the respondents. If the case Is reviewed by some appellate tribunal. It will be appealed In the name of E. H. Hatfield, assistant sergeant-at-arms of the senate, who served the warrants on the packer and his associates more than a week ago. Taking Immediate advantage of this entry, John J. Healy. counsel for the Heim committee, prayed for appeal and was allowed ten days In which to file a bill of exceptions. The motion was granted and bond of'?250 was required of the appellant. It Is conceded by those most closely connected with the investigation of the Lorlmer scandal that this decision of Judge Petit practically means the end of the Helm committee's activities, although another meeting of the committee will be held in Springfiold. Hinges on the Testimony. Whether tho Investigation will proceed, it Is stated, will depend largely upon the nature of the testimony brought out by tho witnesses who have been subpoenaed to appear. If they develop nothing of particular Interest and there is no new leads developed, it is believed the committee will occupy its time with the compilation of its report to be submitted to the senate Just before the adjournment of that body, which has been set for May 19. Time Factor Is Potent. As the proposition stands, the hearing before Judge Petit cannot be reviewed In a higher court, if at all. much before the adjournment of the senate. In which event there would be no opportunity for a continuation of the Investigation, as the Helm committee, under the resolution creating it. would cease to exist at that tlmo.
