A Federal Judge Orders the Release
from Prison Of Man Convicted
Of Conspiracy.

New York. - Charles c. Brown.
former examiner of silks In
the government customs service in
this city, was on Tuesday ordered re.
leased from Sing Sing prison by Judge
Hough, of the United States court, on
a writ of habeas corpus. Browne was
recently brought back from Canada.
where he had fled after giving bail
and was taken direct to prison. His
counsel claimed this was in violation
of the extradition treaty between the
United States and Canada.
Browne was convicted in March,
1904, Of having conspired to defraud
the government by passing silks at
underrated values and sentenced to
serve two years in Sing Sing prison.
He took an appeal to the United
States circuit court of appeals and
lost. He then jumped his bail of $12,-
500 and fed TO Canada. The Canadian
government refused extradition on
the conspiracy charge, but extradited
Browne on an amended charge Of be-
ing a fugitive from justice. A secret
service agent started with Browne
for New York from Montreal on July
2G. His attorneys expected that he
would be brought to New York, in
stead United States Marshal Henkel
met the secret service agent and
Browne at Poughkeepsie and took the
prisoner direct to Sing Sing prison.
Counsel for Browne contended that he
was practically kidnapped.
In his opinion discharging Browne
from custody Judge Hough declared
that there is no authority vested in
the United States government to seize
or hold a person extradited In pursu-
ance Of treaty provisions except upon
the charge on which the extradition
was granted.
