Once More Escape EAtradltiOn-Case
IL Ended.

Quebec. Aug. A-Judge Caron has or
dered the release from custody of Colonel
John F. Gaynor and Captain B. D. Greene.
in the now famous extradition case.
There was large attendance of both
legal luminaries and spectators. Mrs.
Gaynor, accompanied by a number OF
ladies. was present during the delivery OF
the Judgment. Gaynor and Greene came
into court with Sheriff Langelier. Judge
Caron read the petitions of the prisoners
for writs of habeas corpus upon which
the writ was issued In virtue Of which
he prisoners were taken out of the hands
of Jailer Vale of Montreal, as wei as tho
answer thereto, and the writ itself.
The events Immediately preceding the is
sue Of writs he also reviewed, and went
on to concur in Judge Andrews opinion
with regard to the sensational manner in
which the prisoners answer was made
here.
With regard to the attacks made upon
himself, he was sure that the American
government authorities and their agents
could have had no hand In them. Tho
yers to Jailer Vale to attend to delivery
of Judge Andrews Judgment was then
quoted, and Vaile's compliance therein
| noted.
That judgment ipso facto dispossessed

commissioner having pronounced upon
the case for the prisoner has always a
right to question the justice of his being
deprived of his liberty. American courts
had taken a similar view in the Case of
a forger who was a fugitive from Quebec
province.
His honor expressed the opinion that
Judge Andrews judgment quashing his
own writ of habeas corpus did not decide
the merits of the case. and notwithstand-
ing the pretensions of lawyers for the
prosecution to the contrary, his writ in nc
way conflcted with Judge Andrews judu-
ment for a prisoner may always renew
his application, providing that some new
facts are Stated, as had been done in tn.
present case.
In the present case there was a distinc
discrepancy between the charges In thu
various true bills against the prisoner!
and that made in the application for ex
tradition. This. as well as the absence o
dates in the warrant. he held to be dis
tinctly fatal to the latter, and he there
fore upheld the prisoners claims and thei
objections to the warrants, maintainc'
the writ of habeas corpus and ordered tn
release of the prisoners.
