HENRY IS TAKEN AWAY
He Must Stand Trial for Alleged
Forgery at Grand Rap
ids, Mich.
FOR HIM ISSUED.

But the Acting Governors Instructions,
That He Be First Examined to Ascer-
tain Whether He is Able to Be Re
moved, Are Not DISQUALIFICATION
Among His Relatives and Friends.
Acting Gov. Warder yesterday hon.
ored n requisition on the governor of
Michigan for the extradition of Charles
A. Adams. alias George B. Henry.
who has been under arrest for week
or more at the home of his mother
above Moline, and wanted at Grand
Rapids, Mich, on charge of
forgery. Attorney NJ. NJ. Stur-
geon appeared in his behalf to
resist the requisition on the ground
that he is in dying condition. A
representative of the American Bank
ers' association, which has a long
list of forgeries in all parts of the
United States, appeared for the Michi-
gan authorities.
Henry has been flat on his back, n
sufferer from bladder disease and
rheumatism, at his mothers home,
since his return from Denver, to
which city he was taken after having
been discharged from the Nebraska
penitentiary on account of his precar-
ious physical condition, and where he
established an alibi, it having been
charged that he swindled Denver
bank in May. 1897. He proved he
was with his family in Hampton at
the time of the alleged crime and was
forthwith dismissed by the court.
Early Morning Departure.
Contrary, as it seems, to the
instructions of Acting Governor
Warder, Henry. at an early hour
this morning, was taken from his
mothers home and placed aboard
Island train in charge of Grand
friends of Henry are indignant
over the proceeding. At the con-
ference in Springfield, at which a
requisition was granted for Henry,
the latter was represented by Attor-
ney NJ. NJ. Sturgeon, of this city, and
it was expressly understood and
agreed to, and the acting governor
stated he would notify Sheriff Cralle
accordingly. that Henry be not re-
moved until competent physician
first examined him and determined
whether he was physically able to
stand travelling to Grand Rapids and
to 90 through the routine of trial.
The plan, Mr.. Sturgeon says, was for
all parties concerned to meet in Rock
Island today at 10 a. M and have the
examination made of Henry. But the
Grand Rapids officer seems to have
slipped into town last night, pro-
duced TO Sheriff Cralle the warrant for
Henry, and the prisoner was hurried
away in the manner stated above.
Mr.. Sturgeon claims that Sheriff
Cralle is not wholly blameless for per-
hitting the removal of Henry, for,
Mr.. Sturgeon says, he had been noti-
fled that a habeas corpus proceeding
was pending and would be served the
moment it was learned an attempt
was to be made to get Henry out of
the state.
Sheriff Cralle states that DR.. White
side, of Moline, pronounced Henry
perfectly able to travel. Sheriff Cralle
stated further this afternoon that he
had no reason to anticipate hab cas-
corpus proceeding.
