GOULD. MAY TAKE HIS OWN TIME.
The President Not Expected to Take Steps
to Bring Him Back.

W. H. Delaney, attorney for the foreign
bondholders of the Kansas Pacific Rail-
road, who want Jay Gould and Russell
Sag, indicted, has written to President
Cleveland asking executive interference to
secure the return of Gould within the juris-
diction of the United States. This action he
takes, he says, because of the non. existence
of extradition treaties covering Mr.. Gould's
alleged crime.
Assistant District-Attorney Parker said this
morning that the idea was absurd. as no
steps had been taken which place Mr.. Gould
in the light of a criminal. There is no par
allel between Gould's case and that of Tweed,
for the latter was an escaped convicted Grim
inal-a fugitive from justice.
