Nay, come not nigh, for now do chaw

MORE TIME FOR Nicely.
Case Is Again Put Off This
Time Till July %.

New York, June 3O.-A writ of extra
dition for Charles F. w. Nicely, charged
with embezzling many thousands of dol
lars from the postal department of
Cuba, was moved for by United States
District Attorney Burnett before Judge
LaCombe, in the circuit court. The mo-
ton was made in accordance with the
provisions of the special extradition act
passed by congress in the closing hours
OF the last session. Gen. Burnett was
assisted by an assistant United States
district attorney. while John D. Lind
sey appeared for Nicely.
Nicely who has been in Ludlow Street
jail ever since his second arrest, in de-
fault of. $4,000 bail, was taken to the
court room. The case was adjourned to
July % next to give Mr.. Lindsey time to
prepare his brief and submit it and also
to enable the government to secure
more evidence. Mr.. Lindsey opposed the
motion on the ground that the act of
June was unconstitutional
/ Gen. Burnett argued that if the gov
| eminent could surrender a prisoner to a
! foreign country under international
comfy without any special act, it could
do so all the more by having this act.
| The chief point in question seemed to be
whether the evidence submitted with
| the indictment was sufficient or not.
