,-Ihs return OF the Smiths Is not vOlun-
ta-y.- said AIr. Rand. Upon the arrival
Of Mr. Garyan in Cincinnati the proposition
that they return voluntarily and not as
prisoners was made to them. After a
consultation they refused and said that
they would fight eKtradition. After the
return Of Gov. Herrick Of Ohio from Texas
and the issue Of a new warrant their lawyer
saw the futility Of further oontesting ex-
tradition and after a consultation with
Mr. Garvan at which II was agreed that no
effort would be made to extract a confession
from them on the journey Fast Mr., Shay Of
their counsel consented 20 their inevitable
return. No agreement or stipulation was
made as 10 their prosecution on any charge
other than that contained in the indictment
As cot forth In the eKtradition papers.
Mr.. Rand seemed to be very much pleased
after Mr.. Caravan had told him In detail
Of what had gone on In Cincinnati. Mr..
Rand harked back TO the first trial Of Nan
Patterson and made this comment;
when / saw the tears rolling down Mr..
LEWIS face at the Last trial made up my
mind 10 dry thoas team and -allay those
emotions and bring back TO them their long
lost witnesses. have brought them here.
Now they can call them. l hope that Mr.
Levy viii not have cause 10 weep again
H. r. LimbuTger will represent the
Smiths. He had talk last night with both
Smith and his wife. Early in the afternoon
he called on Police Commissioner McAdoo
and asked II there would be any objection
20 his seeing the Smiths when they got here.
Mr. McAdoo said that there would be no OBJ
lection il the Smiths sent for him, but other
wise he couldn't SEQ them. Mr.. Limburger
was one Of those who went to the Grand
Central Station 20 meet the Southwestern
Limited He had chat with Mr. Rand and
then went down 20 Police Headquarters.
After seeing Smith he said
i was asked to-day by Nan Patterson's
father to represent the Smiths. ] felt sorry
for him. told him that / could not make
any definite promise until familiEri1ed
myself with the case. Now, after having
had a talk with Smith / have promised
10 represent him and his wife. There IL not
a cent in il for me, as Mr.. Patterson told me
that he was pennies. ] seldom take such
cases unless think II Is In a good cause.
Nov. that I have talked with Smith,
! can see no reason why he should ever
have left town. Smith IL ready and willing
to testify at the trial Of Nan Patterson.
] think he will help her; can't see how he
will hurt her. There is nothing in the
letters taken from the Smiths in Cincinnati
that incriminates them or Nan Patterson,
from what Smith tells me. ! will AJAX Dis
triot Attorney Jerome tomorrow to sur
render them to me at once.
II the District Attorney wants a chance
10 have Smith identified by Lyman Stern,
the pavnbroker. ] viii help him in every
way. Everything possible will be done to
facilitate such q proceeding
Mr.. LimburFer minated that Levy 4
UnRer had been asked by Mr.. Patterson 10
represent the Smiths, but had declined
because they we're Nan Patterson's counsel.
The most disappointed person that
awaited the Southwestern Limited was DIR.
Patterson. He was az the station long
before>the train was due. Mr.. Lmburger
was with him. As he scanned the crowd
and spied Mr.. Garvan without the Smiths
it looked as II he might collapse. Then
he went up and spoke hurriedly TO Mr.
Rand. Evidently Mr.. Patterson wapted
to know II he would be needed in court
to-day.
NO. said Mr., Rand. Il don't want TO
see you. won't need you
When Smith left the train he was hand
cuIed 10 Detective Quinn, SerGt.
McNaught had charge Of Mn. Smith She
wasn't handcuiied. They rode across i25th
street 10 Lemon avenue and thence in the
subway TO Police Headquarters. Sergt.
Mcknight first took them 10 the Detective
Bureau, passing through a side door. There
was line OF photographers who had skipped
down town from the Grand Central Station,
but only one man got a fash.
In the Detective Bureau Smith said he
was an insurance agent, 30 years old. His
wife described herself as Julia Patterson
Smith. 20 years old Mrs.. Smith looks
enough like her sister 10 be a twin. She
was dressed in black.
The prisoners were led up stairs from the
