most important question. arising oat OF the al
legged violation by this Government OF the OK |
tradition treaty with Great Britain. It Is |
claimed that the Government OF tho United |
States has acted In bad faith In respect to the |
extradition OF q criminal named Miller. In |
brici the Canadian authorities assert that |
Miller was extradited at the request OF the !
State Department. he having been accused OF |
committing a felonious assault. Whom he was |
in possession OF the United States authorities
he was without further process lodged in the
Jail from which he had escaped into Canada.
and where he was serving sentence for bur-
glary. He has not within the six months re-
Quiredi by the provisions OF the statute been
tried and convicted Of the offence for which
he was extradted II is charged that. in
consequence OF this alleged bad faith. the
Canadian Parliament has requested tho Gov
eminent OF Great Britain TO make inquiries.
with the view to suspend the extradition treaty
so far as 1t affects Canada. or to require hero
after that in all cases where the United States
asks for the extradtion Of . fugitive the
United States Government shall give guar
antee that the person whose extradition
1t asks shall DO tried for tho offence
with which he is charged. and for no other.
The Canadian Government complains that the
United States Government has acted In bad
faith in this and other cases. Our Government
in the Wnslow case gave up the attempt to
secure the cxtradition OF the noted Boston
forger. because it WAS regarded as humiliating.
and an implied confession Of intent to violate
guarantee that WinsIow would be tried for the
offence mentioned in the, official papers. But
