Neely Will Be Returned to Cuba and BE
Subject to Its Law Against Embezzle-
ment--Sustains Contention That the
Island is Foreign Territory.
Washington, Jan. 15.-Tha United
States supreme court Yesterday an
nounced its decision in the case of G..
+. w. Nicely, charged with embezzle-
ment of the public funds of Cuba.
while acting financial agent of the de-
partments of posts of that island, hold
ing that Neely was subject to extra
dition.
Justice Harlan handed down the
courts opinion, which was unani-
nous, and Immediately after the opin-
ion was concluded an order was is
sued requiring that the mandate in
the case be issued at once
Assistant Attorney General Beck,
who argued ihe case for .he govern
ment in the supreme court, said of the
decision:
The government regards the dec-
sion as important, not merely because
it definitely decides it's right to extra
dite Neely from Cuba for trial but
because it defines the nature and valid
ity OF its occupancy in Cuba. The
chief contention of Neely's able coun-
sci was that With the ratification of
the treaty of Paris all right of occu-
pancy by the government under the
war power ceased, and that the pres
ent occupancy of Cuba by the presi-
Il
constitutional and Il usurpation The
court squarely negatived the conten-
tion and broadly affirmed the right
OF the government to occupy Cuba
until a responsible government is Gre
ated by the Cuban people. 1t is es-
pecially gratifying to the department
of justice that this right can be exer-
any embarrassment which the exist
ence of an existing Cuban republic
would occasion
The supreme court further decides
that the president may exercise his
rights as communicating chief free from
the embarrassment of the constitu-
tional provisions requiring trial by
jury. which the court holds to be inap-
plicable to Cuba.
'"rhe case is unique. partly because
the status of Cuba is anomalous. and
partly because of the absence of an
eNtradition treaty. AS to the first,
the court affirmed the authority of
the United States in Cuba pending
its pacitication. although it is foreign
territory. AS to the latter point, it
has long been a veXed question as to
whether there could be an extradition
in the absence of an extradition treaty.
The effect of the decision is to extra
dite Neely under the authority con-
ferred by the act of congress rather
than in accordance with any express
extradition treaty. 1t ensures the trial
of fugitive from justice. and it gives
the administration the power to pro
tect life and property in Cuba during
the period of our occupancy"
