Murder near Richmond, Va.-the Richmond
| (ya.) Enquirer Of the 2Sth instant says:
Yesterday morning, between three and four
/ o'clock, man named Alexander Bradley was
brutally murdered by four men in Manchester. 1t
i seems that party of Irshmen had fight, when
four of the number rushed into the house where
i Bradley was sitting, (about 100 yards from Mayos
/ Bridge) commenced attack Bradley and
man named Whitehead, the proprietor ofthe house.
| Whitehead escaped; but Bradley, being some
what intoxicated, was merciessly beaten with
sticks and stamped until the anger of his assail-
ants was moderated, and they left the house.
! Bradley died in two hours after. He was an in
offensive man, il is said had no acquaintance with
his assailants, and was in no wise connected with
the party engaged in the fight near Whitehead's
house. Two of the men who committed the as
saut have been identified and arrested, and are
now in Jail. Their names are Phillip Dryer and
/ John Disco. The other two, named Garry and
Craughlin, are still at large.
Extradition Case - Decision of Judge
NIitchell.-In the matter of Alex. Heibronn,
| claimed by the British government, under the
Ashburton treaty, charge of forgery, but
whom the u. $. Marshal refuses to bring before
the State courts, on writ of habeas copnS, Judge
Mitchell rendered decision on Wednesday fore
noon holding to the principle that an examining
officer in the United States court, under the law
Of 1913, is but magistrate and that the State
courts have Jurisdiction writ Of hdbeas corpus
As to the merits of the present case, the testimony
shows that the crime committed, if any, not
forgery, as claimed, but some lower grade OF of
fence, not provided for in the treaty An order
was made that the prisoner be discharged.
4 This order as intimated by Mr.. OConor yester-
day. will probably be made the subject of an issue,
TO bring the matter before the supreme court Of
the United States and will, it is understood, not
be regarded by the United States Marshal. Com
missioner Nelson of the United States court be-
4 fore whom Heilbronn was originally brought, has
not yet rendered decision.
