dition papers. The party arrived in
Washington Saturday morning, and
the Secretary of State and Mr.. Busbee
spent most of the afternoon Saturday
in getting the necessary papers in due
legal form. Mr.. Womble says that
after everything was arranged the Sec
rotary of State declared that all was
gotten up in perfect legal form and he
did not think it would be possible to
pick flaw anywhere. 1t is stated

pers. Chief of Police C. D. Heartt
was appointed special extradition
agent. The party left Washington
Saturday night at l 1 p. M, going by
way of New York, for Toronto, and
arrived there Monday.
From the Toronto dispatch to the
Visitor of Tuesday:
White and Cross are very much
depressed in spirits. They were be-
fore the police court again this NOR
ming. The police magistrate read a
fresh charge against the prisoners
preferred by Cashier Hardy, of
the Norfolk, Va, National Bank,
of stealing $25, 900 from that bank
on the oath of March last. The pris-
oners pleaded not guilty to this
charge, and this case was adjourned
till Tuesday. The other charge of
forgery was stricken out, and
charge of bringing stolen money
into Canada substituted. The trial
of the prisoners on this charge was
also postponed. Messrs. Heartt,
Busbee, Graves and Rogers are here,
and are confident of an early return
to Raleigh with the refugees.

should happen to my wife they will
never try me. The bank was in an

Referring to the forgeries, Cross
