Supreme Court Decides in Favor of
Mr.. Corkran.-Messrs. VIM. Shepard BRYAN.
Jr., and A. der. Sappington, of Baltimore,
counsel for Mr.. Charles E. Corkran. of Balti-
more county, this week received information
that the Supreme Court of the United States
has affirmed the decision of the New York
Court of Appeals in the case of Mr.. Corkran.
This decision was to the effect that person
accused of crime in one State could not be ex-
tradited from another to answer for the alleged
crime unless he was actually present in the
State in which the alleged crime was COM
mitted at the time it was committed.
Mr.. Corkran was accused of larceny and
false pretenses in Tennessee in connection with
the transactions Of lumber firms with which
he was connected. He was in New York at
the time the indictments were returned in Ten
nessee, and an effort was made to have him
extradited. This he fought. taking it before
New York courts on habeas corpus proceed
ings. In October last the Court of Appeals of
New York decided that Mr.. Corkran could not
be extradited because he was not in Tennessee
when the alleged offenses were committed
Going to Tennessee temporarily, after the in.
dictment had been returned, transacting bust
ness and returning, did not make him fugi-
tive from justice.
Mr.. Corkran's counsel made the following
statement: "Mr. Corkran, who is a resident of
Lutherville, was president of the Chequassett
Lumber Company of New York, which COM
pany owned and controlled many other lum-
Der concerns throughout the country, there
being seven in Maryland. The companys in
terests grew so rapidly that Mr.. Corkran could
not devote the time necessary to carefully
watch the doings of the different companies,
and was forced to depend upon the honesty of
his employees. In many instances he lost
heavily by dishonest men.
I'm the company which conducted the bust.
ness in Tennessee an employee, by gross mis-
management and populations, used up the
entire capital-$100, This caused the COM
pany to fail and carried with it the parent and
all the subsidiary companies. Mr.. Corkran
had the defaulter arrested; and notwithstand-
ing the fact that he presented to the grand
yet the grand jury failed to indlct him. Pre-
sumably, in retaliation, this man induced the
bank with which he did business, and which
lost by his failure, to have Mr.. Corkran in
dicted. The indictment was not the outcome
of the failure of the Manor Lumber Company,
as has been reported"

A Road Case of Interest-County Com
missionerS Not esponsible.-Al letter from
Westminster, Md, dated February 25th, says:
Judges Revell and Thomas have rendered a
decision of much interest in case in which
the County Commissioners of Carroll county
we're sued for damages for injuries sustained
by Mrs. Harriet Wilton in falling from foot
bridge into a trench or culvert in SykesViIle
in November last. Suit was brought in the
name of Mrs. Wilton and her husband, Ira
Wilton, and the Commissioners by their coun-
sci, Charles e. Fink, demurred to the decara-
ton upon the ground that the control of the
roads and small bridges in this county is en-
tirely in the hands of the road commissioners
of the several districts and the only function
of the County Commissioners is to levy such
taxes as may be called for by said road COM
missioners The contention of the County
Commissioners was approved by the court and
the demurrer sustained. This leaves to per-
sons injured by defects in public highways in
the county recourse only to the road commits
sloners if such recourse can be had, the COM
missioners not being incorporated A test of
that question may be made in the case of Mrs.
Wilton"

Well Known Young Man Victim of Pc
culiar Disease Mr.. Stephenson A. Knox,
aged Is years, son of Mr.. Charles H. Knox,
president of the Board of County Commits
sioners of this county, is at the City Hospital
in Baltimore, suffering from a malady
which, in its acute form, is rarely met with
by physicians of this country. It is called
sarcoma and is an affection of the muscular
tissues which eliminates in growth imme-
diately beneath the skin. The growth forces
up the skin until its presence becomes appar-
ent to the naked eys. Before sarcoma was dis
tinctively diagnosed it was frequently mis-
taken for cancer. In the case of Mr.. Knox
the sarcoma has appeared in somewhat I'M
usual place, on his abdomen, and the compar-
alive rarity of the disease has attracted the in
terest of the medical profession. In Switzer-
land and the Italian Alps sarcoma is frequent
ly met with, but as to its origin or cause, 1t is
said, physicians of today are absolutely in the
dark,
The illness OF Mr.. Knox was reported in
THE UNION last week and when he first went
to the hospital it was thought be had cancer
of the stomach. He has been clerk in the
B. & o. Main Building in Baltimore several

Three Miles to Baltimore. "-Out on tine
York road, near Arlington avenue, stands a
weather. beaten block of granite, on which is
carved "3M to B." The inscription means
three miles 10 Baltimore" and is forceful
illustration of the growth of the city.
The stone is situated just inside of the new
northern city limits but years ago it was
placed in position to inform the traveller from
Pennsylvania and Northern Maryland that he
was three miles from Baltimore. Now the
city has grown out to meet it and has closed
around it. The old landmark can well stand
a century of the wear and tear of the elements.
What position it will occupy in relation to the
city limits then is a topic for the exercise of
the imagination.-Odd Tales in Baltimore Sun.
