THE BEST TRIAL.
Hon. q. B Cieaves Ably Argues Against
surrendering Best to the British Au-
thorities


Special To the Ks nnebec Journal.
PORTLAND, Jan. "A.
The hearing on the petition for q writ Of
habess corpus. filed by Nathan and Henry
b Cleayes as counsel iB behalf Of VIM J.
Best, vas continued before Judge Webb in
the circuit court today. The high sheriff Of
Charlotte county with his deputy. sat within
the bar
Mr.. Clesves made an able and very strong
argument in opposition TO the surrender of
Best to the British authorities He contend
ed that It was a private prosecution, institut-
ed by private citizen of New Brunswick,
aud that there was no testimony in the rec
ord Of the proceedings had before the Z. 5
commissioner showing that the proceedings
had the sanction of the executive authori.
ties of New Brunswick that the treaties be-
tween the two governments did not contem-
plate giving the authority to a private citizen
OF foreign government to set the judicial
wheels OF our government in motion upon
his own authority, but that the governmen Mt
which had the treaty right to the r,turn of
the fugitive must be the active promoter of
the proceedings, aud it must so sppear BY
the record.
Mr.. Cleaves claimed that it being sho wn
by the record that there was no authority 10
tie complainant to institute the prosecution
the commissioner acquired no jurisdiction
and the accused was entitled to his di discharge
Mr. Clsaves further argued that even if the
commissioner had jurisdiction there was not
legal evidence before him 60 Justify the com
initial of Best. The testimony shows that
there was no malice on the part of the ac-
cused, according to the definition of that
term that the shooting was the result of
sudden collision between the parties the in
Jnred party being the sggressor; that the
shot WAS fired in the heat of passion.
An assault was made upon Mr.. Best, an
uuprovoked assault; he was seized while en-
terng the store of Batson on Campobello Is
land violent, hands were laid upon him.
The evidence of all the witnesses called by
the Dominion government shows that Bats m
vas the agressor and violently pushed him
from the door and this manned aud crippled
the old soldier, who, physically unable to
successfully resist the unprovoked assault
made upon him, suddenly turns upon his
a-sailant and discharges his revolver without
aim and without intent to murder and there
fore We say there was not sufficient legal
ground for the action Of the state depart
ment at Washington IN issuing the warrant
for the return of the respondent to Neu
brunswick.
Al the cOnclusion of the argument Judge
Webb stated that 1t vas a matter of great
importance TO the accused, and also involved
important questions of law; that he would
announce his decision at a very early day
and in the meantime the respondent might
remain in the custody of Marshal Harmon
The decision is ava ted with great deal of
interest.
