BOOBIES who conducts tailoring estab-
lishment in the Lockerby building on
Kittson aveIlne, was arrested a week
ago at the request Of Chicago officials.
He retained Tracy R. Bangs and asked
for a hearing of his case by Governor
Sarles before action was taken on the
requisition. This hearing was held at
the district court room in the court
house last night, at the conclusion Of
which Governor Saries announced that
he would not honor the Illinois reqnisi-
tions ssl :,st 5sa. s<+
David Boobies was examined, as we'll
as several witnesses, who were called
to show his good character. The testi-
riony of Mr. Boobies developed story
of domestic estrargement. He was
married in Russia about eight years
ago, and lived with his wife two or three
months, when he found that she was not
true to him and was sharing her affec-
tions with other men. He upbraided
her for this, and she very promptly told
him that if he did not like it he could
get o,It-ard he went, with nothing more
than what he wore. Seven years ago he
came to this country and lived for a
time in Philadelphia. Later he went
/ 10 Chicago. In 1909 he started al, action
for divorce from his wife He admitted
that he was not able to talk English at
that time and his business with a firm
OF attorneys was conducted through an
interpreter. The lawyer, he said, told
him to sign paper if he wanted a di-
yorce, and he did so and paid his mon
eys Shortly after that time his wife ar
rived from Russia, and he was arrested
for faofl-support or something Of the
kind, and remained in Jail six days,
when he was discharged Later he was
arrested a second time for falling to pay
|aliHiony, and when he showed that he
was not able to get work and conse-
quently did not have any money, he was
again discharged He was IN Jail tlir-
teen days that time Two years ago
he came to Grand Forks and has lived
here since, EFy
His indictment ait Chicago was on 4
charge of perjury, and it was returned
a few weeks ago. It's claimed that the
evidence on which the indictment was
returned showed that Boobies swore in
his divorce complaint that he had been in
Chicago al year. and the testimony of
the witness or witnesses was to the eff
feet that he had been iii Chicago but
two months at the time.
States Attorney Wiaeman appeared
as the representative of the illinois au-
thorities and contended that The gov
ernor was required to honor a reqllisi-
tion where It was shown that a person
was a fugitive from justice In his
cross examination OF Boobies ii was
learned that his marriage in Russia was
after a very brief courtshiD, he having
met his wife bit three weeks before they
were married. sS
Mr. Bangs claimed that it was SIM
ply a case of spite work on the part of
the, wife of Boobies, who had waited
from 1909 until 1905 to have her hus-
band indicted, and contended that the
fact that she had waited so many years
showed that II was simply case Of
persecution.
Detective Cudnore, who came from
Chicago with requisition papers for the
return Of BOOBIES, wired his chief last
night that the requisition had been turn
ed down by the governor, and will re-
turn sto Chicago tt)day Il Et
