Albert L. Yearick> ). G. Knapp.
Albert l.. Yearick is a citizen Of
Fairfield, Iowa, and has done bust
ness there as boot and shoe dealer
for several years past has been res
pected and worthy citizen. 1t has
been his habit to buy goods Al vari-
GUS points in New York and Massa-
chusetts, and among others he bought
of Reynolds Brothers, Of Utica, New
York. He bought bill Of goods of
this firm, at date of July IA, 1876, be-
ing personally present al Utica, and
at date of March, 1877, he RENTED to
Reynolds Brothers in full Of all &C.
counts to November, 1876, including
the bill of July IA, 1876. He continue
ed to buy of Reynolds Bros. through
the year 1877 and into the Spring of
1878, when yielding to the pressure of
the times he failed to pay one Of his
latter bills. On the complaint of
Reynolds Bros. Mr.. Yearick was in
dicted in New York for obtaining
goods by false pretense. The indict-
ment was found in March, 1878, and
the crime alleged to have been COM
mitted July IA, 1876. On the requisi-
ton Of the Governor of New York q
warrant was issued by Gov. Gear for
the arrest of Yearick and his delivery
to an agent Of the State of New York,
and he was under arrest by the Sher-
if Of Jefferson county, and on writ
Of habeas corpus issued by his Honor
Judge Knapp, the case was heard on
the allegation of Mr.. Yearick that he
was illegally held. On the hearing
of the case Judge Knapp has consid-
cred the case fully on the question as
to whether Yearick was fugitive
from justice from the State of New
York, and has filed an elaborate opin-
ion in which there is very clear and
able discussion Of the very important
question of the fugitive from Justice ;
and his conclusion ia that Mr.. Year
lex was not fugitive from justice
from the State Of New York, and
therefore entitled to be discharged
from custody. The case is an impor-
tant one in its bearing on the rela-
tions of the merchants of Iowa who
purchase goods in eastern cities; and
in reading the opinion of Judge
Knapp it would seem that in the case
of Mr.. Yearick, there has been no bet
ter motive for resorting to the crimi
nal laws of the State of New Yorl
than to collect debt contracted Ions
after the payment of the account OF
which the prosecution was based, ant
the decision of Judge Knapp is com
mendable, and will be good prece
dent for the protection of others thai
