Chief Justice Fuller to-day announced the
opinion Of the United States Supreme Court
in the case of Thomas COsgrove VS.. Eugene
ID. Winny, United States marshal for the
Eastern district of Michigan. The case in
wolves the extraditon treaty in force be
tween this country and Great Britain for
Canada, the particular point at issue be-
Ing whether resident of Canada. who has
been extradited and brought to the United
States on one charge can be arrested on an
other case before the first proceeding had
terminated and he had had opportunity 10
return to his own country. The chief Jus
tice held that he could not be thus dealt
with, reversing the finding Of the district
court for the Eastern district Of Michigan
This case was a prosecution Of Cosgrove on
the charge of stealing boat in Detroit in
1897 and the two proceedings were con-
nected with the same place. one being IN
the state courts and the other in the federal
courts. The opinion handed down to-day
held that this circumstance was of no i'm
portance and that Cosgrove's rights were
not impaired by this fact.
An opinion was also handed down to-day
in the case of Oliver Wendell Holmes, jr.,
VS.. G.. r. Hurst, holding that a copyright
on book the contents Of which have been
published serially without being previously
copyrighted is invalid. The case involved
the copyright of 1.-The Autocrat of the
Breakfast Table" by the father of plaintiff
| in this case. The book was first published
serally in the Atlantic Monthly in 1857 and
was not copyrighted until 1t was afterward
printed in book form, when copyright was
taken. Hunt published the book, claiming
that it was printed just as the contents had
been printed in the magazine, and also
claiming that the subsequent copyright did
| not protect the work under the copyright
| laws, but that the first publication vitiated
| the copyright. The claim was made on be
! half Of the Holmes estate that there is
difference between copyrighting book and
! copyrighting its contents, but Justice
| Brown, by whom the decision Of the court
was announced, said the court had been
unable to accept this view and that under
| the circumstances Hurst had perfect right
! to print the book the matter appeared in
the magazine. This was the view taken by
the Circuit Court of Appeals for the seconu
circuit and it's decision was affirmed by to-
days opinion. -
