PUSHING THE NEELY CASE.
LOCAL PROCEEDINGS TO BE WITHDRAWN
AND EXTRACTION EXPEDITED.

General Henry L. Burnett, United States District
Attorney. will follow the suggestion made by Judge
LaCombe, of the United States Circuit Court, on
Wednesday. when he held Charles F. W. Neely for
eXtradition to Cuba the charge of embezzling
postal funds. The Judge said that obstacles to
immediate eXtraditon existed in the shape of local
legal proceedings begun against the defendant. but
that these might be set aside August 13 and the
order for extradtion be signed the same day
General Burnett returned here from Washington
yesterday. and when at his Office said that the
criminal charge against Nicely of bringing stolen
funds into the United States, examination upon
which is pending before United States Commis-
sioner Shields would be discontinued, and in the
civil suit for wrongful conversion the order
rest against Neely would be vacated, but the suit
itself would be pushed for the recovery of the
money. He added:
The Government is honestly and earnestly de-
sirous of assuring by every legal in it's
power the return of Neely to Havana, in order that
he may be tried there for the crimes with which
he is charged All the department heads who
through the administration of Cuban affairs have
anything whatever do with the NeeIy case are
united IN their desire to bring about this end.
In speaking of a dispatch from Washington say
ing that tile Government expects application for
a writ of habeas corpus behalf Of Neely. Cen
ersl- Burnett said he had received no intimate
that SUCH a writ would be applied for. He hardly
thought anything could be accomplished by Neey's
attorneys asking for it.
