When taken before the grand jury Lewis-oh- n refused to answer questions and was then declared in coutcmpt of court by Judge McMahon. He was committed to the Ludlow street Jail. In his examination before the grand jury lewlsohn said he knew Canfield and had been in his house. He refused to say whether he ever had seen Canfield there, whether he gambled there or whether he had aeon anyone gamble in the house. After Lewlsohn had been ordered committed to Ludlow street Jail, the warden of that prison informed District Attorney Jerome that he could not receive Lewlsohn because he was uot authorized to receive criminal prisoners. It was then decided to take Lewlsohn to the Tombs, but as he was being conducted there the deputy sheriff in charge was served with papers in the habeas corpus proceedings in the supreme court and was compelled to tpke his prisoner before Justice The arrangements were made to have arguments on the habeas corpus proceedings put over until Thursday next.

The opinion upheld the law for the exclusion of anarchists, and affirmed the decision of the circuit court for the southern district of New York, which refused a writ of habeas corpus for Turner. ntsciiMlng the plea that tbe law should not be applicable to Turner because he waa not an active anarchist Chief Justice Fuller: "Even if Turner, though he did not so state to the Immigration board of inquiry, only regarded ihe absence of government as a political ideal, yet when he sought to attain It by advocating, not simply for the benefit, of working men who are Justly entitled in repel the rharge of deairing the destruction of law and order but at any rate as an anarchist' the 'universal strike to which he referred and by discourses on what he called the legal murder of 1887,' referring to the Spiea rase, anil by addressingrinass mnet'ngs on that subject in association with Most, we cannot say that the Inference was unjustifiable. if he contemplated the ultimate realization of his ideal by the use of force, or that his speeches were to that end."
