VICTORY IN CANADIAN COURTS
SOLICITOR SAYS DEFECTS
CAN EASILY BE REMEDlED

Duxbury. Mass. August 1s.-The decis-
ion of Judge Caron of Quebec, releasing
Benjamin D. Green and John F. Cay
nor. was shown to Solicitor General
Richards at his summer home here to-
day. He expressed no surprise at the
action which had been taken and said
that he would not at this time go into a
discussion of the matter or express an
opinion as the attitude of Judge caron.
He would say. however, If there were
any technical defects in the warrants
these could easily be corrected by the
United States government. and having
done this the government would renew
its efforts to get the men to the United
States for trial.
Mr.. Richards said that in his own
mind he had formed an opinion as to the
standing of the men In the light of the
law. for it had been part of his duty to
argue the original case. that against
Captain Carter, in its several stages.
until it was before the supreme court.

Woman Saw Thompson Where
the Body Was Found,
TWO MEN WERE WITH Him
When Told of the Information Thomp-
son Came Near coIlapsing, But
Soon Rallied and Said the
Story Was Untrue.

Chicago August 13.-The police obtained
their first clue of value in the Bartholin
case tonight and developments that will
go far toward solving the mystery are
expected within "a hours.
Inspector Hunt late tonight found q
woman who declared that at day break
on the morning following the night In
which Minnie Mitchell disappeared in
company with w. A Bartholin. she saw
company and who is now held In custody
by the police; John Claffy, the barn boss
for the same concern, and a man wearing
a Panama hat and dark sack coat. at
the corner of Seventy-fourth and State
streets, where Minnie Mitchelrs body was
found. They were going back and forth
in the weeds and acting In a suspicious
manner.
While the police have always contended
that Thompson, who was a boarder In
the house of Mrs. Bartholin, had knowl-
edge of her death, they had not suspected
that he was In any may connected with
the murder of Minnie Mitchell. The wo-
HldIl, however, was positive III neT stale-
ment that she saw Thompson and Claffy
in company with the third man at the
time and place mentioned. She knew both
of them and declared that there was no
chance of her being mistaken. The de-
scription of the third man as far as 1t de-
scribes anybody, is a description of Bar
tholin the night he was last seen with
the Mitchell girl
Officers were at once sent in search OF
Claffy and he was taken into custody
without difficulty.
Thompson was then called into the Of
flee of the inspector and informed that
he had been seen with Claffy and Bar
tholin on the morning following the night
of the killing of the Mitchell girl. The
information had a ma .ked effect upon
Thompson and he seemed for a minute
to be on the point of collapse. He ral-
lied, however. and declared that he was
not there and knew nothing of the case
in any way. The police pressed him
hard, but he would not alter his state
ment, although he was plainly much wor-
ried. After the interview Inspector Hunt
declared that he was more than ever
impressed with the opinion that Thomp-
son had guilty knowledge of the muir
der of Mrs. Bartholin.

STRIKE LEADERS
HELD FOR CONTEMPT
JUDGE KELLER DECIDES THAT
RICHARDS BY GATHERING MEN
TOGETHER NEAR MINES Vio-
LATED THE ORDER.

Charleston, w. Va. August 13.-In the
held John Richards and his associates
guilty OF contempt and fined them IS and
costs each, holding them committed until
the fines were paid or bail given. Rich
ards is president of district IT, United
Mine Workers.
Judge Keller first decided the question
OF jurisdiction, holding that having ju-
risdiction over the nonresident parties
against whom the bill was filed. gave the
court jurisdiction over anybody who was
confederated with them, no matter where
such persons resided The testimony. he
said, clearly proved a confederation be-
tween the defendants named in this case.
On the question of what 1t took to consti-
tute violation of the injunction order
he held that 1t did not require entry upon
the property forbidden, but that to go
near enough to 1t with such force as
would have the effect to intimidate the
men who were at work In the mines was
such a violation as was contemplated by
the court when the order was Issued. He
held that Richards, In gathering several
hundred men together and marching
through the country to the neighborhood
of the mines of the plaintiff company and
making threats against the men at work
had violated the injunction and that
those who marched with him and support
ed him in what he said and did were
equally guilty. At the same time he did
not think they had Intentionally violated
the order and he would, therefore. not
deal with them harshly.
Five defendants. Sam Washington, Joe
Smith, R. L. Bess, James McIver and
ole Presnosei were discharged. 1t not
being shown that they were In the con-
federation.

Captain Carter had been convicted and
imprisoned. When it came to the cases
of Green and Gaynor he said there might
be some question as to extradition under
the treaty between the United States
and Great Britain. but IL there was such
a question this could be argued He
had no reason to believe that under the
treaty Green and Gaynor could not De
extradited.
Assistant General Attorney Hoyt. who
is also visiting here, would not comment
on the release of Green and Gaynor.
Knox Has Nothing to Say.
Reverly, Mass. August 13.-Attorney
General Knox was informed by the As
ISOLATED Press of the release of Green
and Gaynor and was also shown Judge
Caron's decision. He said:
'I have nothing to say In regard to
Judge Caron's decision. 1t would be
highly improper and extremely indeli-
cate for me to make any comment on
any decision of foreign court in which
the United States government Is con-
cerned, especially when the case goes
against the government"

laws of both countries. they say, is with
out force as 1t is specially set out in
the complaint that the acts charged
were held sufficient by Justice Andrews.
The point made in the opinion that the
warrant does not set out that the acts
charged constitute a crime under the
laws of both countries, they say, is
without force, as 1t is specially set out
In the complaint that the acts charged
were contrary to the laws OF the United
States and as held repeatedly In the
Canadian lec'sion, the courts here VIII

constitute a breach of the Canada stat
utes, If committed in Canada.
overIooks important Point.
The point made in the opinion that the
complaint charges only conspiracy, they
say, overlooks the most important allega-
tions contained in It, The complaint after
setting out the acts of embezzlement and
fraud committed by Oberlin NJ. Carter,
the officer and agent, charges specially
that the prisoners not only conspired with
Carter to commit the crimes, but aided
and abetted him In their commission
and divided with him the money thus
fraudulently obtained. Both at common
law and under the Canada statutes one
who procures or aids or abets the COM
mission of crime is a party to or par
ticipates In the crime. The treaty pro-
vides that there shall be extradition for
participation In embezzlement or partici-
patton in fraud committed by an agent
and it is difficult to understand how
palmer case of participation could be set
out than that charged in the complaint.
The point made In the judgment that
Mr.. Justice Andrews had not rendered
a judgment on the motion to quash the
writ of habeas corpus pending before
him and that therefore, his opinion did
not make a case of res adjudica will be
provided, they say. by inspection of the
records, which shows Judge Andrews
judgment endorsed on the papers.
That the defendants counsel them
selves conceded that the case made by
the complaint before Judge La Fontaine
was sufficient on its face and within the
face Of the treaty, is shown, they claim,
by the fact that they did not move to
have the prisoners discharged on the
writ of habeas corpus before Judge
Caron, but moved to have a day fixed
for a hearing before him on the merits
of the the extradition case In his capac-
ity as extradition commissioner. There
was no point made in the decision OF
Justice Caron which was not also made
before Justice Andrews. and the United
States counsel say that II only can be
regarded AS an unfortunate state of af-
fairs, when two judges In the same
court and passing on the same case can
not agree and when crime goes unpun-
ished.
Counsel for, the United States will take
time to consider their future course Of
action.
