Robbery of the Nashville Express
once by the Money ClerR-He We
campo with $4,000, and Gets a
Good start.
Nashville American, 2Oth.l
Three years ago Captain Thatcher
gave George Z, Schooley, a young nan
from Louisville, employment in the Ex-
press office here, as money clerk.
Schooley had for three years previous
been an express messenger between
Nashville and Louisville. AS money
clerk he received and forwarded all the
money that came into the Office either
through the Adams or the Southern com
panies.
Schooley was an expert in the express
business, having made himself familiar
with all its intricate details. Full of
snap" pluoky, and rapid in his work,
he drove through a deal Of business when
under pressure. His only fault con
sisted in getting on occasional sprees;
but even then he never permitted such
indulgence to interfere with his duties
at the Express Office.
On Saturday last Schooley obtained
leave Of j. d Hopkins, the agent, to
visit Louisville on the plea that his wife,
whom be had sent thither two weeks
previously, was sick, Leave wal granted
With the understanding hat he should
report to the Office on the Monday morn
ing following. BE accordingly left that
night, arriving in Louisville the follow
ing morning. But he failed to turn up
according to promise; neither did he
explain by dispatch why lie remained
away. The suspicious of the agent were
naturally aroused, and he at once insti.
tuted a rigid investigation of Schooley's
books, which were found to be scrupu-
lousy accurate as far as the entries had
been made. 1t was subsequently ascer.
tanned, however, that a package contain.
ing ten thousand dollars was missing,
and it is supposed Schooley carried it
away.
1t also turns out that Schooley's wife
was not sick, and that he left Louisville
last Sunday night for parts unknown.
This makes the presumption that he took
the missing package still more plausible,
Whittier Schooley has gone is problem
s%ticsl; but, problematical or not, the
Express officials are confident that he
will be found.
Superintendent j. q. Rhodes Of Gin
c%!nnati, and Superintendent Waters of
St. Louis, both Of Adams Express Com
psny, arrived here yesterday morning at
the instance Of Agent Hopkins and re-
turned home last night.

low shall not be tried for any other
crime than that for which he was
extradited. It would be impossible
for our government to make such
a guarantee. This is regarded as a
violation of the treaty of 1912, un-
der which fugitives from Justice
have been extradited by both coun-
tries. The government has no
authority to make such a pledge as,
demanded, for Winslow is to be

setts. which the government cannot

were to be tried before a Federal
court it might be a different case.
The Secretary of State insists that
the tenth article of the Extradition
treaty requires no such exaction
and shows that both countries have
tried persons for crimes for which
they were not extradited. To this
the other side make answer that an
act Of Parliament of 1870 prohibits
the surrender of any criminal to a
foreign country until assurance is
received, by law or otherwise, that
he shall not be put on trial for any
other crime than that for which he
is given up. This government, in
its reply, stands on the treaty of
1S42, and protests that it is no
party to the act of Parliament of
1870, though it insists that the
twenty-seventh section of that act
in effect sustains the extradition
of the treaty. The demand
of the British government is so I'M
usual, and apparently untenable, as
to attract the attention of the lead
ing lawyers of the country, all of
whom, as far as heard from, sustain
the Secretary of State. While there
is nothing serious in the CORE
spondence, it is likely to continue
time yet, and the ultimate
is difficult to conjecture.

The LEDGER could have tolerated
most of the speech if the vote had
been right. 1t still seems to us
that Mr.. Key was rather profuse in
his thanks hat his neck had been

the vote and the resolution too.
The LEDGER does not. That seems

The Cheerful Outlook.

The New York Times publishes il
column of information showing the
manifest improvement of the republi-
can situation during the last week. A
like progress during the remainder OF
the canvass and the very momentum
of the tide would seem to insure that
result cannot but render the election
of Hayes and Wheeler inevitable. The
statements below, summarized from the
full report, are made on the basis of
communications to the republican head
quarters:
From Wisconsin the news comes that
the republicans ale aroused to the high
est pitch of enthusiasm, and hand
some majority for Hayes and Wheeler
