An Extradited Criminal TO Escape on
Technicality,

IcCunIcStAFEs
DETROIT, Mich, Feb. 26.-The case Of
Samuel Ashman4 convicted OF perjury,
which came up before Judge Swift, of the
Recorders Court, yesterday, is one of in
terest and Importance because it involves
an international question never before
passed upon. The case, tits thought, will
go to the Supreme Court OF the United
States. Some time ago Ashman escaped
from the Ionia State house Of correction,
and fled to Canada. AS he could not be
brought back under the treaty for escap-
ing from prison be was extradited on an
old charge of robbery, and acquitted in
the Recorders Court. While in the county
Jail here awaiting trial be was confined
in the same ward with man named
SCHNEIDER, accused of committing a big
diamond robbery at Buffalo, N. Y.
BANDING TO DEFEAT JUSTICE.
SCHNEIDER told Ashman all about the
robbery, and to aid bim to escape Ashman
offered TO swear that Sehindler was iuno-
cent, as he Aehmanl bad committed the
robbery himself. Aehrnan did so beleY-
ing that no harm would come to him on
account of the friendly act. He thought
he could not be tried on any
charge except the one on which
he was exLradited. Despite Ashman's
testimony, SCHNEIDER was convicted,
and confessed the scheme that
he and Ashman had concocted to defeat
the ends Of justice. Ashman was imme-
diately charged with perjury and was
convicted. His counsel raised the ques-
tion that his convict tion was Illegal, as he
was indicted for crime for which he had
not been extradited. They held that his
conviction for perjury was violation of
the Canadian treaty. Judge Swift
granted an arrest OF Judgment, which is
practically discharge.

the Mee,in. on wednesday.

On Wednesday evening the Opera House
was occupied by a fair sized audience to
listen to Rev. Mason w. Pressly, pastor Of
tho United Presbyterian church Of Phila-
delphia, talk on the subject of Prohibi-
ton. Prayer was offered by Rev. j. E. Will
son and the speaker was introduced by Jos.
Macaltioner, President of the Pilcsgrove
Prohibition Society. Mr.. Pressly is a
Young man and Il native OF North Caro-
lima. His delivery was very iorcible and
at once enlisted the attention of his audi
ence.
Among other points the speaker said:
The subject is one that right-thinking peo-
pie have Il right to consider and discuss,
and although my audience may have heard
many able arguments from able lips they
are arguments that must be repeated
again and again.
The issue bctokens a grand revelation in
the realm Of politics when such a meeting
may be opened with prayer and partici-
pated in by women. 1t is needless to speak
of the evils of intemperance. It's effects
may be noticed everywhere. The rum
power is the greatest evil inflicted upon
society. Take every industry, great and
small, and the rum power exceeds them all,
to the extent of $500, 900, 600. Much as we
admire the genius of James C. Blaine, his
speeches on the industrial system of the
South, of which 1o knows nothing, are
fallacies. The industrial classes are not
the ones who are enjoying the present pros
perity of our country, but the rum inter
csts are. Put the evil in politics and it
will be rcmedied, for il is for you To say
what politics shall be. The slavery of our
colorcd brother never carried off as many
as his gigantic present slavery does every
wear. am a minister but claim as my
right to discuss any question or evil OPP
pressing the people. We have all heard
of the earthquake ut Charleston, but New
Jersey and Pennsylvania have had an
earthquake since then and it is the old
parties who are shaking. In Pennsylvania
the Republican party is so shaken up that
they have called Nh. Blaine into the State
to help them out. The little Prohibition
tadpoie has turned into a big frog with a
big mouth and it is jumping about and
making such n noise that people
are waking up TO its Importance.
Prohibition is the only party that will heal
the breach between the North and South.
The speaker thanked the audience for
their careful attention and closed with a
strong plea in favor of the Prohibition
party. as being the only true n effective
means Infringing about the grand day when
the evil Of intcmperanee shall be over
come.
The music. furnished by members OF the
Y. w. C.. r. IT,, with Jacob Edwards as
| leader and Miss Bella Ware al the piano,
was one Of the pleasing features OF the
meeting.

travelling under the authority of the yearly
Mr.. Cornell is a man Of pleasant
and as a speaker is forcible
and impressive. lie uses few gestures but
has a clear, distinct voice and commands
the attention of his hearers from begin
ming to the close of his discourse. Mr..
Mr.. Cornell announced that he was not
there to a~ntagonize the views of any one
but to state his own views upon the sub
ject of intempcrance and the methods of
dealing with the evil, and asked of his au-
dicncc that they be not too hasty to differ
with the propositions he might make he
fore they had heard the arguments he had
to offer. lie advocated moral s%uasion,
but spoke of the futility OF efforts in that
direction unless supplemented by legal
enactment. The diflerem forms of legal
he said were local option, high
license and prohibition. lie showed where
iii the FIRST two methods were weak and in
and pronounced the prohibition
of the liquor traffic to be the only eiteetual
and proper means of graphing with the
evil. AS to the means by which This was
to be secured he was decidedly oftlle opin-
ion that the ballot box was the place at
which the question was to be decided and
that political organization was necessary
to secure the enactment Of proper legisla-
ton. lie criticised the Democratic deiini-
ton Of sumptuary laws and showed that
the term would net apply TO prohibitory
legislation against Tie liquor traffic 10y any
proper construction of the word. As to
the position of the Republican party on
the temperance question it looked to him
like a forced repentance. lie exhorted all
to 10 their whole duty as VOTERS regardless
of ccnsnrc or criticism, reminding them
that the object Of a vote was TO give eX-
preston to the opinions and convictions OF
the voter. A vote for principle is never
thrown away, while a vote for a party
without principle is always thrown away.
The address was well received and at
the close the audience manifested their ap-
probation by rising to their feet as AN en-
preston OF thanks. 1t was conceded, even
by those who differed with the speaker in
his views, that it was a fine aud logical
discourse. The foregoing is merely an
outline of the address, showing the prinei-
pal points touched upon.
