sidering the application for the extra
dition of Mrs. Dye from Boone to
PIERRE, S. d. and discussing the
matter with Attorney General Nullan,
Governor Cummdns last evening is
susd the following statement, in re-
fusIing the papers:
The ruling I am compelled to make
upon this application exhibits "a grave
defect In the law. Under the federal
statutes as construed by a very recent
decision of the supreme court of the
United States and by an older case In
our own supreme court / have no au-
tionity to extradite Mrs. Dye. The
holdings in these opinions are clear
and explicit to the effect that to war
rant eNtradition the person accused
must have been personally in the state
where the crime was committed and
fled therefrom after the commission of
the crime Mrs. Dye was not in South
Dakota and therefore could not have
fled from that state / regret this con-
clusion because If Mrs. Dye is guilty
of murder she must be tried for that
offsnse in South Dakota or not at all
unless the statutes be changed. have
SUBMITTED the matter to the attorney
general and this ruling is made under
his advice The governor will send a
message to the Legislature advising a
change in the law

a box of poisoned candy thru the mails
to Miss Rena Nelson, at Pierre, S. d.

her all the time in Jail. Mrs. Dye
mother, Mrs. Cue, from Lost Nation,
Iowa, arrived this morning and met
the daughter at the county Jail. The
meeting was very pathetic, the mother
throwing her arms around her daugn-
Htes and weeping. Sheriff Laughlln,

Flood.
Wilkesbarre, Pa, March 9.-The flood
situation here is more serious than
Yesterday. At nine today the river was
thirty feet six inches above low water
mark. The river is clear of ice in this
vicinity, but the big gorge at Nam
ticoke remains intact. The temperature
has fallen 20 degrees within the last
five hours and this should bring some
relief. River street, the main resi-
Dental thoroughfare of the city is un-
der three feet of water and residents
are greatly alarmed. The press rooms
of the newspapers are flooded and It
was with difficulty today's editions
could be issued. People living in the
lowlands who remained in their homes,
thinking the worst over, had to be res
cued by the police in boats early today.
Practically the same conditions pre-
vail all along the river as far as Dam
vile, fifty miles below here and loss of
property will be greater than that sus-
tanned in any previous food. No town
along the river front has escaped.

Dying Woman's Letter.


Boone. March 9.-Sheriff Laughlin,
of Pierre. tells a pathetic story con-
cerning the death of Miss Nelson. a.
Pierre. and carried with him a letter
which the young woman had written
her aunt. at Boone The letter is a
confession Of the fact that she loved
Dye. who had apparently made her
believe he was unmarried. The effu-
sion is pathetic in the extreme.
In this letter Miss Nelson maintains
her relations with Dye We're pure. say
ing pathetically Il loved him with ali
my heart just as any girl will The
letter was written after she had re-
ceived the candy and while the dead
ly poison was beginning to take ef
feet.
In it she said:
When l went to the postoffice this
afternoon got a box of bon bons N
the mail and also letter. 1t was
from that woman at Boone who wrote
me that awful letter once before. II
/ had read the letter first would not
have eaten the candy, for, somehow,
am afraid that candy was poisoned.
Since ate it l have been awfully sick.
and am going to have the candy sent
to doctor tomorrow to examine 1t.
"Tha, woman who claims to be Mr..
Dyes wife makes some terrible threats
and the writing on the box of candy
looks like hers. She didn't sign her
name to the letter, but ii was clear to
me who wrote 1t.

want to ask you to do me favor. He
has always treated me like lady and
he has never done a thing that could
consider improper. 1 have done moth
ing Of which I am ashamed.
Mr.. Dye told me he was divorced
and l believed him. He said he was
married years ago. and that his Wife
turned out very bad land low and tina.
he traced her from place TO place
where she met men. He said she had
a child by another man and that he
could stand ii no longer, but got d!-
xorce.
He made love to me while 1 was
there at Boone with you. We went
out together lots, as you know, and l
never once heard that there was any
thing wrong about it, If he was mar
ried it seems to me some one would
have told me. | can't therefore believe
this woman's story is true.
Mr.. Dye proposed to me and we
became engaged. He said he couldn't
marry me right away as he didn't have
steady employment and wanted to get
together enough money to buy home
and start out right. He was noble

all my heart like any girl will do.
The woman lies in her letter to me.
