Chief Wilkie Pleased
CHICAGO May l16.-.'I am glad that the
| officers succeeded in landing Gaynor and
| Greene at Montreal said Chief Wilkie of
the United States secret service today.
| Now that the contractors are in custody
| in Montreal, / feel confident that the ex-i
! tradition proceedings will result in their re-
| turn to Savannah, Ga, for trial in the
Captain Carter conspiracy case.
ut will first be necessary to present a
| transcript-of all the evidence before q COM
missioner. to establish a prima face
case for the United States If Gaynor and
Greene are then held for extradition they
probably will appeal to the highest court in
Canada, and thus stand off the government
| for about. six months. But I have little
doubt they will be returned to the United
States some day and will then have to
stand trial"
