BEARS ON Nicely CASE.
GRAND JURY AT AUGUSTA MAKES
PRESENTMENT IN NOTED CASE.
r..la Nil

(By Telegraph to VirSinian- Pilot)
Augusta, Ga, May 25.-The grand
jury for the United State District Court,
now in session here, with Judge Emory
Speer on the bench, made the following
presentment in reference to the cele-
DRAFTED case of Green and the Gaynors,
whom Judge Brown has refused to eX-
tradite from New York State for trial
before the United States Court In this
district.
I'VE have respectfully to present, that
while we approve the legislation of Con-
gress for the eXtradition for trial of
those charged with crime in other lands
we yet perceive. dangerous inconsist-
ency in its failure to enact the proposed
legislation for the removal from one
state TO another of men indicted In
their own country for crimes committed
against its laws. 1t seems commend
able to extradite those accused of pos
tai crimes in Cuba for trial in that
country, but while the greatest haste
is made in cXpediting the removal of
American citizens for trial before
Spanish court, it seems Impossible, IN
view OF the absence of the necessary
legislation. to remove men for trial
charged with crimes of the highes,
magnitude from one United States dis
trict to another.
I'VE recommend to Representatives
in Congress to do all in their power
to cause the passage of the law pro-
posed by the Attorney General, which
Will have the effect Of compelling judge
of the United States Court to conform
to the established practice in such mat
tiers. Surely it is no more important
to remove for trial from New York to
Cuba men who are charged with the
peculation of a hundred thousand dol
lars than it is to remove other men

than two millions of the governments
