force II, the place where such crime was
committed"
With regard to the contention that
the enactment of law to extradite
Neely would be retroactive, Judge Ray
said:
Congress has the power to pass a
law for the extradition Of persons ac-
cused OF crime in Cuba since Spain SUR
rendered sovereignty and the United
States assumed the government of the
island. Such a law would not violate the
theory OF ex-post facto laws. II would
not make crime Of anything not an
4 offense before the passage Of the law. II
relates simply to procedure.
