IN Alleged Case of Violation Of the EI-

WASHINGTON, May 1I.-Barrister J..
II. Pillet, of Montreal, was at the state
department yesterday in conference
with Assistant Secretary Moore on a
very peculiar extradition case. Some
time ago the husband of Leda La Mon
taigne was murdered by her brother,
and Leda was an eyewitness of the
crime When her brother was on trial
Leda refused to testify. Lena was ac-
quilted of any completely in the crime
and went to Boston, where she secured
employment
Last August a warrant for arson
was issued against Leda, under which
she was extradited and placed in Jail at
Sherbrooke, Can. The brother will
he convicted without the woman's evil
dence and will be hanged. The lawyer
claims that the woman, instead of be-
ing tried for arson was sentenced to a
years Imprisonment for contempt of
court in refusing to testify against her
brother, and therefore her imprison-
ment is illegal and that she should be
liberated.
