Of the EIlradition Of Whitaker
Wright Prosecution to Be
Left TO Official Receiver.

London, March ls.-John Flower. chair
man OF the shareholders committee
which instigated the prosecution OF
Whitaker Wright. the director OF the
London and Globe Finance corporation.
who was arrested yesterday on his ar
rival at New York from Cherbourg. says:
Il see Wright is quoted as saying ne
had a powerful protector in an exalted
quarter. That statement Is now new TO
US. 1t is the keynote OF the whole case
Prior to the failure OF the London and
Globe, certain persons maintain. Wright
had in his possession letters from lead
ing members OF the English Royal family
showing they were mixed up In his trans
actions
I'VE have no documentary proof Of
this. Wright himself Is probably the
only man In the world who could prove IT,
IF he has such letters they ought now
to be in possession OF the New York po-
lice, as we suppose they searched his Ell
fects. and Wright is not likely 70 let
such a powerful weapon OF defense out
or his personal keeping. Within Few
weeks the chief issue in the Wright case
will be the question OF the completely OF
otherwise OF the most exalted personages
in, the empire In Wrights financial and
other schemes We do not anticipate any
difficulty In obtaining his extradiuon. put
II what Wrights friends maintain turns
out TO ne true MS genuine pTOscCulioh
will become an extremely delicate mat
ter.
1--WE believe. however. that the law
yers at present engaged will sift the mat
ter TO the bottom regardless OF any con-
siderations." Referring TO the interview
with Wright published in the New YORK
Herald today Mr.. Flower said:
II quite sympathize with Wright when
he says the failure OF the London and
Globe was due to the treachery OF others.
There is no doubt of that. But II must be
remembered that for three months prior
TO the failure which Wright says was d.
rectly due TO treaclssry, the London and
Globe had not a cent in its locker and
was doing over half million pounds
sterling in speculation at every settle
ment. The governments decision that the
directors as a body could not be proceed
the prime factor in the rotten conditions
which existed before the failure, being
made TO take the responsibility"
Attorney General Finlay in the house
OF commons this afternoon said the crown
Wright and the payment by the crown
OF the whole expenses OF the proceed
ings would be considered. But his prose-
cution would be left In the hands OF the
official receiver Of the London and Globe
