tBY TELEGRAPH THE TRIBUSE
QUEBEC, June 1.-About two days ago, an
individual, suspicious in his movements,
and calling himself Joseph Banton. of
Scarboro, arrived at the Windsor Hotel, Mon
treal He was so mysterious that for two days he
kept his room. He was joined two days after by a
priest, Joseph McCluskey, of Troy" who
shared his room aud drove out with him
the outskirts of the city. On May 27 they took
quarters at Lumpkln's Hotel on the mountain, and
May 20 C. r. Marshall took passage on the
Dominion steam sloop Van COuver paying extra FOR
permission to go on board at Montreal instead OF
Quebec. BantOn attracted the attention OF the de-
tectives, who got instructions from New-fork
to arrest the persons named Marshall
McCluskey, Hankey Banton and another
TO be pointed out to be detained on
charge of bringing stolen property into Canada
Warrants for their arrest were placed in
hands of High Constable BissOnnette and Detective
Fahey, who came to Quebec, and boarding the
Van Couver, privately searched statero0m No. 10
taken in Montreal by Marshall. Satisfied that
BantOn was no other than John c. Emo papers
in his trunks, they communicated with the New
York authorities and received orders TO make the
arrest and await instructions. On Sunday morn
ing just as the steamer was about to start, Mar
shall was arrested and at once admitted that he
was Emo.
On Saturday evening as the detectives were about
to leave with him for Montreal by boat, friends of
the prisoner having obtained through James Dun
bar Q. c., habeas corpus from Judge Paron he was
taken by High Constable Gale and remandcd to
the st. Louis Hotel to be left under surveillance.
At five he was taken before Judge Tessier, who
after hearing the statements of the detectives and
the plea of Dunbar remanded him till Monday
morning.
The arrest is the subject of much talk, the
prisoner being arrested not for extraditcn, but for
offence Of bringing III stolen goods against
Canadian law. Indeed some people say IL hld
heen the intention of the detectives 10 smuggle
Emo over into the United states
In connection with this The DdilJ Telegraph last
night calls the arrest an outrage upon the law both
statutory and International. One OF two things
est tresy az amended @ or % an end put to these Illegal
arrests on Canadian soil. the arrest being simply
for an alleged embezzicment or mIsappr2pIiat,33n
committed in New-YOrk City, within me
United States of America. Several high
legal authorities here assert that the
arrest of Emo is utterly mwarrantcd the warrant
which was used being for the arrest OF one Hlnk-
ley and moreover was not indorsed by the authon-
ties of this district. 1.,.
McCuskcy is the name assumed by Father Ducey,
of ST eos Church New-York, who came on at the
request of the family to see Emo safe on board the
steamer MeSsrs. Angst of this city, C. J. Davidson
of Montreal and General Hubbard Of ew-fork,
who arrived this evening, are associated for the
prosecution, while James Dunbar and George
Irvine, of Quebec; John j. Curran. of Montreal,
and Hamilton, of New-York. are for the defence.
Tonight General Hubbard and Enos brother ar
rived here, the latter returning to New YORK by a
special train at once. Emo and his friends
expect that he VIII be discharged
tomorrow, the offence alleged being non-eXtTadlta-
from Montreal do not agree as to the offence for
which the arrest is demanded. To-day Emo was
allowed to drive ont under an escort but requests
to see him were uniformly refused
