Ex Parte Welsh, Jr.

— This is an original proceeding instituted by the petitioner filing his petition for writ of habeas• corpus, in which he alleges he is being unlawfully deprived of his liberty by Granville A. Richart, Sheriff of Jackson County, Missouri, by being confined in the jail of said county. Our writ was issued by Niok T.
