Necessary Papers Signed by Gov.

II the Fugitive Is Returned 1t VIII
Be nm Act of Comfy ON the
Part of Mexico Calling
For Reciprocity.

st. Louis, Oct. 24.-Detective Richard
ard Mcdonnell returned, Friday morn
ing, from a night journey to Jefferson
City, and delivered to Circuit Attorney
Folk the e%xtradition papers, signed by
Gov. Dockery at midnight, for the re-
turn OF Charles Kratz from Mexico.
Mr.. Folk has o announced the
names of the men who will be sent to
~Gaudalajara for Kratz. It is under
stood, however, that Deputy Sheriff
Charles r. Koran, who IS attached to
the circuit attorneys Office, will be one
OF the men to go, and Assistant Chief
OF Detectives Kelley the other.
1t is considered necessary that at
least two men go, in order that the
chance of the prisoners escape en- route
may be reduced to a minimum.
1t is stated that the messengers will
start within a very few days, as the
extradition papers must be served
within 80 days, according to lnforma-
ton from the Mexican government.
The understanding, from information
so far received from Mexico, is that
Kratz will be turned over to the Mis-
souri, officers Immediately upon their
presentation OF proper papers and
credentials, and that safe conduct for
the officers and their prisoner will be
provided by the Mexican government.
While Kratz, according to the re-
ports from Ambassador Clayton, is
merely held under provisional deten-
ton" in the G%uadalajara penitentiary,
Mr.. Folk has no doubt of his being
surrendered to the Missouri officers. He
is held incommunicado, without money
or the privilege of receiving his friends.
was notified of the arrest, but has sc
far no encouragement to expect his re-
lease.
1t is supposed that Kratz, with his
friend and business partner, Charles
Carroll, and his attorney, will make
every effort for his release on a writ
of habeas corpus, known in Mexican
law as a writ of impero.
But while Kratz and Carroll have
grown wealthy in Mexico, doubt is eX-
pressed as to their ability to secure
bond for the prisoners release, even if
the Mexican authorities were inclined
to consider such a course. The two
men have few friends among the Ameri-
can residents of Guadalajara, as evil
denced by their recent b~lackballing by
the American club when they applied
for membership
The fact that Kratz skipped" a $780,
900 bond in st. Louis s also well
fully understood there, as it is here,
that his bondsman was Unidentified

Many of the party were suffering

the work of house-to-house visitation
and the many changes from the heat
ed atmosphere of the garden to the
piercing air.
While his ~lieutenants were looking
after the excursionists at Weehawken,
Dowie was left almost alone to con

garden.
During his address he said that he
had received about so letters during his
stay here, all of which either threat
ened him with murder or kidnapping.
Some of them were signed Commit

informed by the railway companies
that their tickets would have to be
used during the early part of next

said, that all the tickets were good for
two weeks. but now it is said that
most of them will have to return sew

WHOLESALE PRISON RELEASE
Under n Decision of Michigan SUI
preme Court Nearly 100 Con-
victs Will Be Released.

Jackson, Mich, Oct. 24.-Under a de-
cision handed down Friday by the
state supreme court nearly 100 prison
ers in the state prison here will be
released at once. John Harvey, a pris-
oner under a ten years sentence for
burglary, should have been released
some weeks ago if allowed his good
time," but the prison officials claimed
that he was a third-termer and not
entitled to good time"
Harvey carried the case to the SUI
preme court, where it was heiu that
sentences Harvey had served in the
state reformatory at Ionia for assault
and battery should not be reckoned
against him in deciding his claim for
good time.
The supreme court conceded in this
view. The decision will give a num-
Der of other convicts good time and
result, the prison officials say, in the
release of nearly 100.
