What Constitutes a Fugitive From
Justice ?''-The case of the Tennessee authori-
ties, who are trying to have Mr.. Charles e.
Corkran, of Lutherville, Baltimore county.
taken to Nashville, where he had been indicted
on charges of larceny and false pretenses, was
argued on Wednesday before the United States
Supreme Court, Messrs w. s. Bryan, Jr., and
A. de R. Sappington of Baltimore, appearing
for MIR. Corkran.
The case grew out of the failure of the Manor
Lumber Company, organized by Mr.. Corkran.
He was indicted by the Tennessee authorities,
and arrested in Albany, N. Y. He at once in
stituted habeas corpus proceedings and the
case was carried to the Supreme Court by the
Tennessee authorities.
The principal cause of argument is defini-
ton of the term Fugitive from justice" Mr..
Sappington explained. 1t is alleged that as
Mr.. Corkran never was in Nashville, he cannot
be Fugitive" from that State.
Mr.. Corkran was the principal stakeholder
in the Manor Lumber Company, whose failure
in August, 1901, attracted much attention;
The Supreme Courts decision is not expected
for several weeks.
