DAY NO LONGER IN CUSTODY.

Mllwankee Banker Quietly Liberated by Jadse Gooriland. Milwaukee, Wis., May 20.—1 t has leaked out thaV ’’an order discharging F. T. Day, ex-president of the Piankinton Bank, from custody has been entered. The order, which consists of but a few lines, was filed quietly several weeks ago by Judge Goodland. At the time the jury found Mr. Day not guilty on the count on which District Attorney Brazee chose to try him, Mr. Brazee objected to his being discharged, for the rqason, as he stated, that' he desired to try him on the other count of the indictment. Mr. Day’s attorneys insisted that their client had a right to go free, as the district attorney had selected which count he would go to trial on, and, having been cleared by the jury, Mr. Day was entitled to a discharge. In the same connection it is said the cases of the Plankinton Bank will expire by limitation June 1.
