Judge James Refuses To Surrender
Him but Discharges Him.
The requistion under which Andrew
Bahmer, the commission merchant, was
arrested was called up before Judge James
in the Court in General Term yesterday
afternoon. Mr.. A, a. Lipscomb appeared
for the defendant and District Attorney
Cole for John Stapleton, the agent sent
here from Illinois to take custody of the
prisoner.
Mr.. Lpscomb presented several reasons
why the requisition was insufficient. He
contended first that it was not properly
addressed to the Chief Justice of the Dis
trict of Columbia, but to the District au-
forth that any crime had been committed
against the State of Illinois, thirdly, that
the kind of money alleged to have been
embe2Zled was not specified i'm the indiCt-
ment. He argued, further, that the docu-
ment had been issued purely for the pur-
pose of collecting a private debt, and that
the very man delegated as agent to repre-
sent the State was one of the men from
whom the money is alleged to have been
embeZ2led.
There was further hearing in the
Bahmer requisition this afternoon. Mr..
John Stapeton of Illinois filed an aiii-
davit in which he denied that he had any
interest in the firm of Cazalette IL Co.,
but that he was an attorney and only
represented the firm.
He also declared that he had nothing to
do with obtaining the Indictment; neither
had he offered to compromise with Mr..
Bahmer since coming to Washington.
He stated, however, that he came to
Washington last December tor the pur-
pose of obtaining settlement with
Bahmer, and was paid a small amount on
account, but that there was still S989G2
due.
Judge James held that the case in
volved an abuse of the eXtradition process,
and that if q crime had been committed
il had been committed in Washington
He declined TO surrender Mr.. Bahmer 10

BoNr, April 2i.--lt now transpircs that
at the moment the shock Of yesterdays
explosion was felt at the Vatican the
Pope had just concluded the celebration
of a mass. The holy father was badly
shaken up, and was only prevented from

Pope is this morning reported as quite
recovered from the momentary prostra-
ton which followed the incident.

the magazine at Pozzo Pantaleo originated
