State vs. Louis misunderstanding
Officer j. L. BarringeT, February 25, 1877,
Sentence of IS or Ave days,
State ex rel. Julius w. Riddell We.
Thomas N. Boylan.-Habeas corpus. Re-
latOr was held on charge Of bigamy, and
about to be transferred on q requieition
from the Governor of Alabama, The papers
annexed TO the seQuisition are an affidavit
that one Julius Riedel, having . wife then
living, unlawfully married one Alice E.
B0ndurant, on the second day Of March,
1877, all of which lie against the peace and
dignity of the State of Alabama, and war
rant issued by notary public er o6ieio d,
w. Mccormick, Justice Of the peace, Mo
bile county, commanding the arrest Of j.
W. Riedel, accused of bigamy. This is not
Ruficient to charge the orlme of bigamy
under the statute. The affidavit complains
Of one julius W. Riedel; the requisition
axis for the delivery of Julius w. Rieddell.
The affidavit dOes not charge Riedel with
bigany, but with "While having Q wife
then living, unlawfully married one Alice
e. Bondurant.D Neither the affidavit pro
duced in court, nor the requisiti0n, charge
that any ottense was committed within the
State of Alabama. The act Of Congress of
1893 requires that the Governor of State
demanding the delivery of person under
the provision should certify that the copy
of the affidavit charging such pereOn with
having committed treason, felony or other
crime, is authentic. The requisition makes
no mention Of the existence Of
nexed TO the requistiOn pretends to be the
original affidavit and not copy thereof,
authenticated as required by the act OF
Congress; no impression of q seal can be
found upon The paper; there is no proof that
a. w. Mccormick was q justice of the
peace in Mobile county, Alabama, on March
10, 1871. The affidavit itself should be such
as to enable the Governor of Louisiana to
determine whether the facts therein COM
planned Of amount to an offanse against the
laws of the State of Alabama, and should
be sufficient 10 law to warrant q commit
ment for trial for like Otfsnse committed
in this State.
The affidavit was insufficient, because it
charges no crime committed ia the State Of
Alabama, the affidavit not showing that the
marriage with Alice E. B0ndurant wac
celebrated in Alabama. Therefore, Riedel
is not. nor can not be q fugitive from the
justice Of Alabama. Writ maintained and
relator discharged.
