A Lincoln, Neb., special says: Tom
Dennison, of Omaha, wanted in Iowa for
completely in the Pollock diamond rob-
berry, has appealed to the supreme court
from the Douglas decision in the extradi-

to admit the Morris letter; the cou
erred in not allowing a jury; the requisi-
ton honored by Mickey is hopelessly de-
~fective; to allow extradition would con-
travene the constitution, as it has not
been shown that Dennison was in Iowa.
