MAY BE TRIED
New Law Will Sustain Mrs. Dyes
Extradition,

Des Moines, Iowa March IT,
when the house convened the
governors bill providing for the
extradition of fugitives from
justice where the person COM
hitting the crime was not act
ually in the state in which it
occurred, was simultaneously
presented in both houses by the
chairman Of the judiciary COM
mittees. and was recommended
for immediate passage.
: 1t went through without OPP
position and it is thus possible
to extradite Mrs. Dye and bring
her to trial at Pierre.
In support of the measure
Attorney General Mullan sub
mitted to the chairman of the
judiciary committees q lengthy
array of decisions by the United
States and state supreme courts,
including one by Justice Sewers
of the Iowa supreme court, hold
ing that one cannot be extradited
as a fugitive from justice, within
the meaning Of the constitution,
unless he had actually been pre-
sent n the state in which the
crime is committed.
It is expected the iowa statute
will be copied in all ether states.
It simply provides that where
the crime occurs in another state
without the guilty person having
left this state to commit it, the
person may be extradited the
same as a fugitive from justice
in the strict sense Of the form.

The Nelson Killing.
Pierre, March 10, 1904.

Mr.. Editor:
In response to your request for
a statement concerning our at
tempt to extradite Mrs. Sherman
Dye, from the State Of Iowa, I
submit the following:
First: There is no question
that the State Of South Dakota
has jurisdiction to try the offense
charged, administering deadly
poison with intent to kill), for it
is provided in section So, revised
code criminal procedure, that
"when the commission of public
otfense, commenced without the
state, is consummated within it's
boundaries, the defendant is liable
to punishment therefor in this
state, and though he were out Of
the state at the time of the COM
mission Of the offense charged, if
he consulnmated it in this state
through the intervention Of an In
nocent or guilty agent, or by any
other means proceeding directly
from himself; and in such case,
the jurisdiction is in the county
in which the offense is consummat-
ed. !"
Now, the defendant in this case
was charged with the mailing in
Iowa Of q box Of poisoned candy
addressed to Rena Nelson at
Pierre, South Dakota. The Unit
ed States was made the means
proceeding directly from herself"
by which the guilty person availed
herself or himself, as the case may
be, in consummating this horrible
crime, so commenced in Iowa.
Second: But to assert our jur-
isdiction in one thing to bring the
defendant from Iowa, another.
It is provided by. Sec. 2, Art. 4,
United States constitution as fol-
lows:
"a person charged in any state
with treason, felony, or other
crime, who shall flee from Justice,
and be found il another state,
shall on demand Of the executive
authorities Of the state from whoc
authorities Of the state from
which he fed, be delivered up to
be removed to the state having
jurisdiction Of the crime. =
l hardly need call attention
to the fact that this is an express
sion Of the highest law Of our land
It is thus seen that by the Federal
constitution two principal facts
must appear in order to authorize
a governor to deliver up d citizen
to the officers of another state,
viz: The charge that q crime has
been committed by him and sec
ond, that he has fed from the state
where; il is charged that he com
mitted the crime.
In this case, the person charged

trict The Baltimore and Ohio has
been supplying about IS per cent and
the Vanderbilt system has been doing
better Along some lines the coal
mines have had to close down for lack
of cars and only so per cent of the

limestone can be delivered When the
cars in use are laden they are usually
stuck on some siding for an indefi-
mite period Or tied up .at the point Of
destination to such an extent that
blockade is threatened. Conditions
appear 10 be the worst on the Penn
