In re HIRSCH. (Circuit Court of Appeals, Second Circuit. March 2, 1898.) No. 68. HABEAS CORPUS-WREN GRANTED.
Appeal from the Circuit Court of the United States for the District of Connecticut. This was a petition for a writ of habeas corpus by Heyman .J. Hirsch, deputy internal revenue collector, who was committed by a state C01ll't of Connecticut for a refusal to produce to such court, in obedience to a subpCBna duces tecum, an original application or return of a special taxpayer, to be used as evidence on the prosecution of such taxpayer for selling liquor in violation of the state laws. The writ was discharged by the circuit court on the hearing (74 Fed. (28), and the petitioner appeals. Charles W. Comstock, U. S. Atty., for appellant. John L. Hunter, for appellee. Before WALLACE and LACO:\IBE, Circuit Judges. PER CURIAM. We concur in the opinion of the circuit judge dismissing the writ of habeas corpus, and therefore affirm the order appealed from. We do not, however, intend to decide that the writ of habeas corpus is the proper remedy to secure a review of the judgment of the state court in punishing a witness for disobedience of its process of subpCBna ad testificandum.
