APPLICATION FOR REQUIsTTIoN.
II. II. Crocker. a Chicago attorney, ar
rived here this evening with requisi-
lion from the governor OF Illinois for u.
NJ. Thoman. now held ut Palestine on
Crockers affidavit that he Is fugitive
from justice. Action on the requisitlon
was postponed until tomorrow morning by
Acting Governor Jester, to sive Thomans
attorney, A. w. Gregg. an opportunity
20 reach here and make showing against
honorng the roquisi,on.
The charge on which the governor OF IL
linois asks for Thoman is wife abandon
ment. He is now under bond at Palestine
on two charges of adultery. Thoman ap-
peared in Palestine a few days ago with
a female companion whom no represent
ed as being his wife, and soon afterwards
e, w. Donohuo of Chicago showed up ac-
companicd by Crocker and claimed the
woman Is Kate Donohuc. alias katherine
Gyles, and his wife. Crocker and Dono-
hue had Thoman arrested on charge Of
adultery to hold him until his extradition
could be secured, but he readily gave bond
aud CrocEer made affidavit that he is n
Fugitive rom Justice and had him ar
rested agniE and it Is on that he is now
being held.
Crockcr says that Thoman, who has
wife ana family In Chicago. Is deranged
and that what Is really wanted is to get
nm back home to take care of him The
charge Of wife abandonment is hardly suf-
hcient TO extradite him on however, os-
pccihlly as there are two charges OF adul-

turned 10 Chicago last night, It is un-
