ceedings Heard in Quebec.
Quebec, May 2O.-Col. Gaynor and
Capt. Greene are prisoners in Quebec
Jail. They were committed to this
prison this afternoon, where Sheriff
Langlier had prepared special quarters
for them. Mr.. Taschereau, counsel for
Gaynor and Greene notified the court
to-day that in a few days he viii
move for a writ of certiorari for the
transmission of the record of the ar
rest of his clients from Montreal to
Quebec.
The next step to be taken by the at
torneys representing the United States
has not been disclosed, but it is said
they are not disconnected by the pres
ent situation. They are confident that
ultimately extradition proceedings will
be successful and that Greene and
Gaynor will be forced to return to Sa-
vannah and stand trial on the charge
of defrauding the United States gov
eminent in connection with harbor
contracts.
The prisoners were at first returned
to the Chateau Frontenac. Later,
after a consultation between the sher-
iff, police magistrate and attorneys for
the prisoners, it was decided that the
prisoners would have to go to JAIL and
at O'Clock Gaynor and Greene, ac-
companied by a guard of detectives,
were removed to their quarters in the
prison. This move was deemed neces-
sary to protect the prisoners against
any further attempt to get them away
from Quebec.
1t is the intention of Mr..
Tascherau to move that the
proceedings before Magistrate Lafon-
tame of Montreal be quashed and that
the evidence in the extradition pro-
ceedings be heard here.

behalf of the two accused. Mr.. Stuart
read a lengthy affidavit from Carpen-
ter in which the latter stated that

well as a copy of the motion made by
Mr.. Stuart to set aside the writs Of
habeas corpus and discharge the mo-
tions for the Imprisonment of Carpen-
ter. Mr.. Tascherau then asked that
the case be adjourned as regards the
motions for Imprisonment, and by con-
sent Tuesday next was agreed on and
Carpenter was allowed until May 20
to answer any counter affidavits pro-
duced by the accused.

corpus then was taken up, Jailer Vallee
making his return.
Mr.. Tascherau moved that Gaynor
and Greene be remanded in the care of
the sheriff of this district, and that

the two men. The motion was de-
cided as stated above.
