that led them to abandon their palatial
quarters and take up separate private
residences.

in the outskirts of the city in the name
of Gaynor, which fact, when he discov-

'saon OF British Privy
Story of Case That Attracted Inter


Quebec.-As the result of the recent
ueclslon OF the British privy council, two
iugltlves from American justice will
probably soon be taken to the United
states to stand trial for their serious Of
tense against the laws.
: Years ago, before extradition treaties
had been arranged with European coun-
tries. the Canadian dominion or the
South and Central American republics,
Ut was common practice of American
criminals to seek refuge outside the boz
ders of the States" Canada, being
easy of access, was a favorite harbor for
embezzlers and defaulters, and many
there defied the efforts OF justice to bring
them to trial.
Even after agreements had been eff
fccted with most of the countries, men
who had decamped with considerable
sums preferred taking their chances
with the extradition laws and with
government officials whose decisions
they could often influence with their ill
gotten wealth, rather than remain at
home where certain punishment AWAITED

materials were accepted and that the
surplus moneys above the actual cost
were divided pro rata between Gaynor,
Greene and Carter.
It was Shown on the trial that these
payments were frequent, and that when
they were to be made Capt. Carter would
go to New York; whore Re would draw
treasury order for the full amount,
plus SIS, his expenses on the journey;
that this check would be handed to
Greene, and that within a few days
Gaynor would hand his check for one
third of the payment, plus SIS, to Car
ter. The dates of the checks thus drawn
corresponded with Carriers visits to the
Union League club in New York, OF
which he was member. It was esti-
mated that Carter's share Of the plum
der amounted to $722528.
Capt. Carter Convicted.
Carter was tried by court-martial,
found guilty and sentenced to fine of
$4,000 and five years Imprisonment, be-
sides being dishonorably dismissed
from the army. He has expiated his Of
tense and has regained his liberty.
1t took a long time to secure Capt.
Carter's punishment, and it was said
that Gaynor and Greene we're moving
heaven and earth to hush the matter up
In December, 1899. Gaynor and Greene
and the other members of the Atlantic
Construction company were indicted by
the United States grand jury at Savan-
nah for conspiracy to defraud the
United States OF $575,949.9O A few
days later the indicted men surrendered
to United States Marshal Shields in
New York
Then followed long struggle against
extradition to Savannah. Gaynor and
Greene had appeared in Savannah and
had each given a bond of $4,000. Step
by step the case was fought, and when
the United States supreme court finally
swept away all Instructions between
them and their trial. Gaynor and Greene
fed to Canada, and their bail bonds were
forfeited. 1t is said that the bondsmen
were afterward reimbursed by the fugi-
tives.
The two men went to Montreal first
and then to Quebec. The extradition
lived in Montreal. and

Immediately raised by Mrs Gaynor
and her friends. The prisoners law
yers went about Quebec declaring that
their clients had been kidnapped. At
once a boatload of Quebec officers was
sent to overtake the Spray and bring
Gaynor and Greene back.
Pursuit Of the Fugit!ves.
The chase up the river was an ex-
citing one, and the news spreading
rapidly, the progress Of the two boats
up the St. Lawrence was eagerly
watched. But the Spray was too fast
to be caught. Realizing this, the chief
constable of Quebec, armed with writ
OF habeas corpus from Judge Andrews,
OF that city, hurried to Three Rivers
On special train, and, setting out in
boat with his officers, ordered the
Spray TO halt in the queens name. No
attention was paid to the challenge.
Gaynor and Greene we're taken to Mon
treal, where Commissioner Lafontaine
committed them to Jail.
The high constable of Quebec hurried
back to Judge Andrews on special
train and secured another writ ad-
dressed to the Montreal jailer, who sur
rendered the prisoners; and so Gay
nor and Greene went back to Quebec
on special train. feasting their Off
cial rescuers on the way. So fearful
were the exiles that they would be kid
naped again, that they asked to be
committed to the Quebec Jail, where
they felt reasonably safe from the Mon
treal and American detectives.
AS the case developed, it was evil
dent that Gaynor and Greene had laid
their plans deeply. The law firm en-
ployed by them included in its mem
bership the premier of Quebec, a son
of the deputy attorney general and the
Canadian minister of justice. The son
of the extradition commissioner of
Quebec was also employed by the fugi-
tives.
The prisoners lawyers appeared be-
fore Judge Andrews and consented to
the vacating of the writ. Thereupon
other writs issued ty Judge Caron, who
had had nothing to do with the case,
were served upon the Quebec jailer.

One reason why Peruna has found per-

Fugitives Are Ostracized.
Greene and his wife live in splendid
ly-furnished residence in the most fash
ionable quarter of Quebec, near the
Governors garden. They are waited
upon by several servants, but they see
little or no company. In fact they are
bitterly ostracized, and the only persons
with whom they are seen, though re-
spectacle enough, are not of the better
class Of local society. They are occa-
sionally visited by relatives from their
former home, such as children by Cay
nors former marriage, but apart from
these they see very few persons except
on business.
Gaynor spends most of his time in the
barroom, where he is tolerated for his
openhandedness by lawyers and poll
ticians who drop in from time to time.
Mrs. Gaynor spends good deal OF her
time in driving and horse riding, in
which latter sport she has been taking
lessons from an officer of the militia
cavalry. Mrs. Gaynor Isl an occasional
attendant at St. Andrews, the local
Presbyterian church, while Gaynor him.
self is once in awhile to be seen at st.
Patrick's Roman Catholic church. It
is obvious that Gaynor has still plenty OF
money Some time ago he dabbled in
stock speculation, but he has abandoned
that amusement now. On the other
hand, Capt. Greene, who lives with his
wife and servants In an equally fine
house in the same quarter of the city,
is practically recluse and sees nobody
but on the strictest business, applying
himself entirely to study. In spite OF
their money, in spite Of the clique Of
lawyers and politicians who have, for
pay, helped them to defy justice, public
sentiment in Quebec regards these two
fugitives with scorn. Greene alone
seems to understand the real bitterness
of his lot. And now that the privy coun-
Gil has overturned the plot by which he
gained his freedom, he is more tactiurn
than ever.
How Government Was F1eeced.
To understand this extraordinary case
it is necessary to recall its events. On
April "a, 1888, Capt. Oberlin NJ. Carter,
Of the United States corps of engineers.
took charge of the improvement Of riv-
ers and harbors at Savannah, Ga, for
which work millions Of dollars had been
appropriated. He SO managed matters
that the Atlantic Construction COM
pany, consisting OF John F. Gaynor,
Capt. Greene and E. H. and w. T. Gay
nor, got control of the contract.
In May, 1897. Capt Carter was ap-
pointed military attache Of the United
States legation in London against his
protest Capt. Gillette, the engineer

1902, party Of detectives went to
Quebec secretly with Commissioner La
fontaine's warrant, bounced upon Gay
nor and Greene, thrust them into closed
cabs, put them on the tug Spray, the
swiftest vessel on the St. Lawrence,
and started at full speed for Montreal.
Gaynor shouted from the cab window
to friend in the street: Il am kid
naped!" A detective put his hand
over the prisoners mouth. But that
signal was enough. and the cry was
