The question whether lyman can be ex-
tradited or not is being exhaustively dis
cussed ia this afternoons newspapers.
The ST James Gazette says that in 1888
the Government of France refused to ex-
tradite lyman and Walsh on the ground
that their offense was a political one,
and, consequently, not covered by the
extradition treaty then in existence be-
treaty has since been extended to cover
such offenSes, and within the last three
years a number of French Anarchists
have been extradited under the amended
treaty. The British authorities. the %Ga-
zette' says. are, therefore, confident that
they will be able to secure the extraditien
of lyman. In legal circles, however, there
is considerable doubt about his extradi-
ton, as the question must arise whether
or not the treaty is retroactive.
