again before United States Commissioner Alex
ander for examination yesterday. His paiior
showed the effect of his confinement IN the
Ludlow Street Jail. but he seemed to be cheer
full when he greeted his counsel Louis Marshall
and Maurice Untermyer.
Sir Percy Sanderson was accompanied oy
Charles Fox of counsel for the British Govern
ment. who asked for the dismissal of the war
rant of March 1G on which Wright was held
for examination originally, saying the amplfed
warrant of March 80 was the only one on when
the government wished to proceed. Wrights
counsel objected declaring that the dismlssal
of the first warrant would throw out OF court
the appeal to the United States supreme Court
from Judge Iacombe's recent ruling that the
prisoner could not be admitted to bail pending
an examination in extradition proceedings
Commissioner Alexander refused to dismiss
the first warrant saying the appeal stayed ac-
ton upon it. and he insisted that the eXamlna-
ton proceed on the second warrant. Mr.. Fox
took an exception to the decision, and then Of
fered in evidence some afidavits which he had
received on Monday from England. One of
them WAS sworn TO by John ]. Ham, the former
assistant secretary of the Globe Finance Com
pany.
Mr. Ham swore that all of the annual re-
ports although made by an accredited public &C
countant were always changed by wright All

ports OF the Globe company an item showed the

making of the statement from the Standard

sneer:

last two years. and they don't amount 70 any

MAY NOT GIVE BACK MINIATURES.
Marie's Collection May Go to Some Society
Instead of to Originals.

II was learned on good authority last night
that though the majority of the residuary
1egatees have favored the reversal of Peter
Marie's collection of miniatures of famous men
and women to their subjects, or, in the event
of the subjects deaths. to their nearest living
relatives considerable doubt still exists as to
their ultimate disposal. One of Mr. Marie's ex-
ecutors said last night to Tribune reporter
Some of the resduary legatees are strongly
against any scattering of the collection. such
as the reversal would entail They have in mind
a certain society to which the entire collection
NAV be presented. The society, however, has
not yet made a bid
1t is understood that the New-4ork Historical
Society which has already a collection or
miniatures, is anxious to have Mr. Marie's COL
lection for the societys new building. to be
