10 be a Free Nan Tomorrow.
While much money has been expended in
the effort to extradite Adam Morse, and the
Toronto judge has decided FIAT Morse shall
be extradited, the indications at present are
that he will be released tomorrow. Officer
Wetherhorn has made two trips 10 Toronto
which were frJutlesS, ard there does not
seem to be any present likelihood that he
VIII make third venture 10 be baff1ed by
the delay of an appeal, which would almost
inevitably follow If hs should appear and
make third application.
The following Telegram was received
yesterday from Crown Counsel Hon. q. ".
Badgerow by Acting Solicitor General
Osborn:
- TORONTO, June :, 1885
W. ". Osborn, Gctfnd solicitor general
A remand made ungSi Saturday to enable the
shorthand reporter to write out depOsitions
which must be signed by Officer Wetherhorn,
otherwise Morse to te released or further re-
msnd granted, whiol will scarcely be acceded
TO. Wetherhon should have been here.
q. vs.. BADGERow.
Mr. Wetherhorn was seen by a MORNING
NEWS reporter yesterday, and was asked if
he would ATTEMPT the trip. He said that he
thought not. lie has already spent great
deal OF tlmR avd money, and left Toronto
SICK Tho faeling against him there was
SO manifest that he did not feel justified
IN staying. He went to New York,
where he took his bed and
put himself under the treatment
Of physician. When he felt able TO travel
anc. knowing that the case had been con
tlAued another week, which carried with it
another expensive delay, and in the face OF
the fact that Morse, after the case had been
decided against him in the Toronto court,
had the recourse OF fifteen days delay for
on appeal to the Montreal court, where Rn
immediate disposition OF the case might not
be had, he returned home Il would be i'm
possible for him to reach Toronto 10y Satur-
day in any event, but if the state is willing
to endeavor TO have further remand and
VIII furnish the money for the necessary ex-
peDses, he is not unwilling to make the third
trip, although not fully recovered from his
illness.
Conductor Barbee, tho victim of Morses
assault, was down town yesterday, and he
SAID that he IS willing to waive all rights to
any return of the money he has already
expended if the state will advance $500 Of
the estreated funds in hand to send on the
officer to get Morse back
Solicitor General duBignon is out of tho
city, but before leaving he authorized thu
MORNING News to say that there 5000 still
due on the forfeited Morse bonds, and he is
willing to waive their collection if Morse is
brought back by the bOndsmen, and if they
did not do 50, then he will compel the
payment of the bonds, aud out OF that
those who incurred the expense of bringing
Morse back should be reimbursed. If the
tondsman who had sworn that Ire was
worth the amount of the bond is foNnd not
to be worth it, then he will indict nd pros
ecute the bondsman for perjury. The
solicitor general said: aft the bondsmen, by
their personal efforts, bring Morse back,
will discharge them from paving the re-
naming 1900 If they do not do this, then.
if through the efforts aud expenses Of Mr.
Barbee and his friends Morse is brought
back, will proceed to collect the bonds to
reimburse those who are put TO the expense
of returning the fugitive from justice.n
With this view of the case it was under.
stood last night that au effort will be made
by telegraph to have Morse remanded, that
Mr.. Barbee may perfect arrangements for
raising the funds, to be returned when the
face of the bonds are collected, if the bonds
men do not accept the proposition of the
solicitor general and furnish the money TO
bring back the runaway. The matter will
be determined to-day
