Some OF the testimony as il comes during the trial

Is matter Of considerable comment that Payne, the
tract murderer from CANADA, should have singled him

JeH. Davis Safe II He Reaches Mexico
No Extrediti0n Treaty With Maximi-
liam.
From the Baltimore SUM- May III.
The idea abroad that Jefferson Davis will endeav0r 10
make his way Mexico calls mind the fact that IN
Mexico we have exradition treaty. Even IL had,
there would DO some difficulty In getting executed,
supp0sng Mr. Davis 10 take refuge there and 1t
determined to sock his delivery and return the United
States This arises from the fact that have dipo-
matte relations with Maximans government; and the

are In Canada, though with England we have such a
treaty. Whether such demand IL deemed tonnble by
government and will be made not remains to DO
seen.
