Tus SuRRATT CAsE-A NICE PorNT.-
SuRRATT was discharged because it was not
charged in the Indictment that he had heo
from Justice. The act of 1870 provides:
"Nor shall any person be prosecuted,
tried. or punished for any offence not capt.
tai, nor for any fine or forfeiture under any
penal statute, unless the Indictment or In
formation for the same shall be found or
instituted within two years from the time
of committing the offence or mourning the
fine of forfeiture aforesaid !: Prorlded, That
nothing herein contained shall extend 10
any person or persons fleeing from justice. "
Now, it was q well-known fact that Sur
RAFT did fee from justice; yet, as no such
count was contained in the Indictment, he
was discharged. The District Attorney
(CARR1SGroS, who is well if not favorably
known here,) was mortified. The following
scene is reported:
"Mr. Darlington asked that the case be
certified to the court in banc. A new in
dictment can be found at the next term.
"The Court said that it was not in the
habit of certifying questions fully argued
before him to the court in banc.
"NIr. Darlington said that he would
frame an Indictment consonant with the
views of the Court, and would make appli-
cation to the Court that he might be held.
"Judge Wylie said that the Court had
made its decision, but that Mr.. Darlington
might, if he thought proper, on legal aft
davits, have him rearrested.
"Mr. Darlington: have the right to
appeal, and l ask that the prisoner be not
discharged.
Judge Wylie: That is your lookout.
The prisoner is now discharged.
"Mr. Darlington: Will not your Honor
renew the bail of the prisoner? propose
to bring him again before the grand jury.
Judge Wylie: Well, you can have him
re;irrested.
"Mr. Darlington Then ask your Honor
to issue the warrant.
Judge Wylie: No; the only offence OF
which am cognizant was committed over
two years before the indictment was hled.
know nothing of his having fled from jus,
tice, and for aught of which l have judicial
knowledge, the man may have been IN the
city all the time.
"Mr. Darlington: evil your Honor
permit
Judge Wylie: No; l have decided the
matter, and will listen to nothing 1urthe,
" The Court was then finally adjourned
"Surratt left the courtroom at the con
clusion of the colloquy, receiving the con
gratulations of his friends"
