FEDERAL ATTORNEYS INVESTIGATING
TWO VITAL POINTS IN THE CASE BEING
CAREFULLY STUDIED.
by TELEGRAPH TO THE TRIBUNE,


Washington, March 11.-Immediately after the
news was received this forenoon by Solicitor
General Richards that John F. Gaynor and Ben
Jamin D. Greene were in Quebec. a telegram was
sent TO the United States District Attorney at
Savannah 10 forward the indictments against
these men. which win undergo scrutinizing in
vestigation before any formal effort is TO be
made for authority TO bring the fugitives back
TO this country. In the mean time the British
American eXtradition treaties will be studied so
as 70 prepare federal officers for any technical
tack the defendants may hope TO use in defiance
of the prosecution. Solicitor General Richards
says that precautions must be taken against two
vital points. One is the chance Of securing their
extradition to this country for trial charges
of offence over which a court might declare
there jurisdiction If there were an
error found so that this point could be made by
the defence. the defendants would be set scot
free. The other point. involving an analysis Of
the provisions Of the eXtradition treaty, is
whether the alleged crime Of Gaynor and Greene
can be construed TO fall under those classified in
general terms in the treaties for the commission
OF which extradition is permitted.
II is one of these techncalities on which off,
Gals here believe the attorneys for Gaynor
and Greene hope 10 gain their clients liberty
across the border line. But one of the federal
lawyers said tonight:
lone reed not think that Gaynor and Greene
can remain peacefully in Canada, saying to the
government. If you want to deal with US you
viii have TO cross the line We have found ad-
oitional counts in the Indictment which will
aid Us in establishing a charge against them
which is covered by the eXtTadition treaty con-
eluded with Great Britain last year and also
the treaty of 1890. There is not much chance
10 recover the money. but 1 have doubt that
the department Will bring the fugitives 10
trial.
Under the extradition treaties, II is explained
provision is made for the extradition of fugi-
tives against whom proof is shown OF guilt Of
murder. embeZzling and acts upon individuals
and their property. But il is question: BILE, Il
is asserted by experts, whether a specific act
against the United States, that with which
Gaynor and Greene charged, falls within
the provisions for cXtradtable offences. In
this particular case however. il is commended
while the offence charged is against the gov
eminent, IL IS of conspiracy TO defraud
which lawyers say means TO obtain money
fraudulently; and this offence is construed by
a prominent official lawyer TO be extraditable
under specific provisions Of existing treaties.
