New York, March l6,-When Whlta-
ker Wright was arraigned in court his
counsel said that although Wright was
willing to return to England he would
Insist on an examination here bfore
doing SO.
Maurice Untermeyer appeared for the
prisoner Asked whether he waived
examination, Mr. Untermeyer replied,
ION The contrary, and / wish to add
that my client states that personally
he would take steamer Immediately
for England and answer these charges,
but Oh the ADVICE of counsel he will
wait further proceedings ON the Fart
OF the British government. Mr.. Wright
also denies that he is o fugitive from
justice. He has been absent from
England FOR three weeks IN Paris. but
insists he is not a Fugitive from JUS
tice,"
Charles Fox. legal adviser of the
British consulate, asked for an ad-
iournment for two weeks pending the
arrival of papers from England, This
was opposed by counsel for the prison
err, who, after consulting his client
said:
81 think an adjournment until Tues
day or Wednesday viii be sufficient
Mr.. Wright insists he is willing to re-
turn TO England at once"
Commissioner Alexander then set the
hearing for Wednesday, Nothing was
said about bail for the prisoner.
When asked directly whether Mr..
Wright was going to waive ex,raditlon.
Mr.. Untermeyer said the adjournment
was taken so that the attorneys might
consider what they would do. The for
NAL complaint against Wright charges
him with fraud in publishing false
statements Of accounts OF the London
q Globe corporation.

asked TO be excused from answering
questions, made. partial replies when
questioned by Representatives OF the

Whitaker Wright, but knew nothing
about his financial affairs. Mr.. Wright
said she. did not bring large sum Of
money with him.
1T Is not the custom Of English peo.

said, they secure letters OF credit or
