till noon tomorrow.
The American legation made an application
to the foreign Office Yesterday but there has
been slight delay and the chief magistrate at
Bow street police court has not yet received
the notice required under the extraditiou act OF
this formal application. The delay is easily
explained by the necessity the foreign Office is
under of examining the evidence submitted by
the American legation. Rather more people |
were present 10 court this morning than on any |
previous occasion of Wnslow examination.
The COMMENCEMENT OF the proceedings were
delayed twenty minutes by report that Mr..
Wontncr, OF NO. 8. Cloak Lane, Queen street,
would appear as Wnslows solicitor. Sir
Thomas Henry, the magistrate asked the prIs-
!oner if be had solicitor. Winslow said be did
not desire solicitor; be did DOT wish to contest
he case at all he would be glad 10 waive every
thing and would be only too happy
to % home tomorrow. Sir thomas
Henry said | understood MIR. Woutner
would appear for the defence at the request OF
the prisoners friends. Detective Greenham,
of the Metropolitan Police, Scotland yard. ex
plated that the prisoners friends at Boston
had teegraphtd for Mr.. Wontner 10 appear 10
beha OF The prisoner, but the latter did not
wish to have solicitor. Winslow ssid-it WAS
not the wish either, OF his family or of himself,
he said be was i'll and asked permission. to be
seated. Sir .rho.. Henry, certaioly. Albion
P. Dearborn, of Boston, was SWORD: He pro-
duced papers consisting of an indictment found
by the grand jury of Suffolk county, Mass,
containing fourteen counts, seven for forging
and altering and seven for uttering to the
amount of 100000; a bench warrant was is-
sued By the Massachusetts, authorities for the
arrest of Wirsoz and the depustlous OF va
rious persons of Boston who names had been
forged. He also produced warrant signed BY
President Grant and couolersigned BY Hamil-
ton Fish, the Secretary of State, authorlz-
Jog him (Dearborn) to convey the prisoner to
America if he was committed
Mr. Dearborn replying to Col. Cheesebrough,
the Secretary Of the American Legation IL
London, said he knew the prisoner by sight.
He also knew the various persons slgoing the
affidavit. Documents we're then handed TO
Wiosog, who declined to ask any que stions OF
Dearborn.
Sir Thomas Henry asked if the documents
bore he seal of the Secretary of State. f."
Col. Cheesebrough replied that thy did.
The indictneIt found by the grand jury Of
Suffolk county, Mas1., was then read by the
Clerk of the Court, detailing the various forge
ries of promissory notes aud endorsements.
The bench warrant found by the Massachusetts,
| Court was also read. During the reading Wins
low sat looking downward and seem very much
depressed, but otherwise he eviuced no emo
ton. He seems to have suffered much
from confinement He is very sallow and
gaunt. He is unshaven and wears a worn
looking blue frock coat. o. the occa-
sions when he has been obliged to speak his
voice was husky and bis tone lower than when
he addressed the court last Wednesday week.
! After the documents had been read Sir Thomas
Henry explained their purport TO WiusloW and
asked him if he understood them. WlpsloW
replied that be did. Sir Thomas Henry ex
plaiped to Wiuslow this was amply sufficient
ground for committing him for trial Ii a
grand Jury 10 London had found similar in-
dictment against the prisoner charged he
should commit him Immediately, but 10 an ex-
tradition Case it was necessary to have evidence
that toe government requiring extradtloo had
made formal application to the English gov
ernment. Though understand Sir Thomas
continued that the American legation sent the
documents to the foreign Office yesterday, |
have DOT received any in,imation from either
the foreign or the home Office therefore |
think it best to remand you uDtil Tomorrow
The prisoner asked to be allowed to see his
family, who we're in a private room of the
court. Sir Thomas Henry, certainly.
The proceedings then terminated. Sir
Thomas's manner to WiDsIow Was az if ex-
plauiug some ordinary business transaction.
The delay at the opening of court was at the
wish of the American legation, so that there
might be 90 impression that the prisoner was
! u0idlrly tre8leQ OF tak6O aG ulSduVaUCaRe 10
the absence of a solicitor who was supposed to-
have been retained. The formalites requir-
ing day s remaod are as follows: The Amer
lean legation request the Foreign Office for ex-
tradition. The Foreign Office examine the
papers and forward them to the Home Office
The latter notifies the magistrate, enabling
him to graut the extradtion. Mrs. Winslow
seems less depressed than Oh Wednesday. She
will probably 90 home 10 the came vessel With
her husband. It seems that the authorities Of
Boston left the question of the time and mau-
DER of the famiy's return entirely to Mr..
Dearborn discretion, they paying all the ex-
peuses The case seemed to excite but little
| interest among he spectators 10 the court who
| we're not directly concerned with it. i
Mr.. G. w. Huntington says that be is no, a
