MORE ABOUT Ida.
Her Case May se Laid Before the
Department Of state.

MONTREAL. p. @, October 25.-The case
Of Ida la Montapge is likely to open up a
question in international law between Cana
da and the United States, which will take
many months to straighten out. Ida Ia
Montange's husband was killed by her
brother and the house set on fire. Ida was
tried for murder as an accomplice and ac-
quilted. She then went to Lawrence, Mass.
When the Crown came to try her brother, 1t
was found that Lida's testimony was needed
to convict. She would not voluntarily re
turn, so a charge of arson was laid against
her and she was extradited. AttemDts were
then made to- compel her to testify, sbut
emDhatically refusing she was finally COM
mitted for contempt. Her brother was con-
victed Of the murder. After his sentence
she was sentenced to one years imDrison-
ment and fined $3.50 for contempt. Her
counsel protested, bat to no avail, that the
terms of her extradtion were being violated
and that she could not be imprisoned for
any crime other than arson. Her counsel is
now going to appeal to the minister Of JUS
tice at Ottawa, and II that does not succeed
will lay the matter before the State Depar :
ment at Washington and ask 1t to take ae-
tion to compel Canada to either try the girl
for the crime she was extradited for or re-
lease her altogether. She Is now in jail at

To Be Inferred.

terday by Herald correspondent, Mr.. Stan

proof Of his statements, but refuses to make
public the least portion Of 1t until the other
