TUITE MAY ESCAPE.

Ex-Treasurer of Detroit Thought to be
Beyond Rea CHI of the Law

regarded as doubtful whether ex-City
Treasurer Tuite, the alleged defaulter,

New York statutes require that a war
rant in which extradition is asked must
be based either on an Indictment or
else complaint made in ordinary form.
In the case of Tuite, the warrant was
issued by police justice under a law
authorizing Justices to Issue warrants on
their own behalf.
