| TIE TEARING
Commenced with the reading Of the ninfor-
nations" on the six different charges. of the
robbery OF the banks, murder OF Morrison,
aefault "1;h Intent to Kill, hors. steallag,
which the Court adj1urned for TIA. day.
Yesterday the examination Of witnesses On
tie charge OF robbery. Of the hanks, COM
mepetd IN earnest. Mr. sowlss, cashier Of
facts Of the robbt1Y, and Identified threa of
the sctors, pointing them out by eolng up
ard laJtng his hand on each.
The stanbIidge maRisttate who arreated
s11 . q them, also Identified his men, and pro-
h.ty five the enssnd dollars, which he took
from them. The examination Was protract.
ed BY occasional objections On the Dart Of
the prisoners counsel, and By the great NUN.
beT o., ss 1t seemed TO me, useless questions
pnt bg Af; Carter. who conducted the exam
nation Il each Of the toxen or twenty
witnesses is to be examined at the Same
length, and all re-s1amined in turn on the
Elk charges, It Is evident that no decision !
can be reached this month.
Il Is probable, however, that the lawyers
and court VIII agree to try the question Of |
e1tradltion thruu2h on the first charge, leay-
Ing the rest to be decided BY the RESULT Of |
That. This will, Of course, greatly shorten |
the proceedings.
THE PROBABLE RESULT, |
No oIe doubts, suppose, that the de-
ctslon Of Judge Coursol WILL be ID favor ef !
the delivery q the prisoners to our govern
should be reached is uoquestIona bly the de- |
Sire OF the Canadian government, Hho rea
ltze that al trouble will cease With euoh |

higher courts OF the province. That no
snch writ can be granted except In c1ss Of

lawyers. Others, however. think dif-1=- B.
