GREEN AND GAYNOR.
Sentence of Pair for Savannah Harbor
Fraud Affirmed by Federal
Court of Appeals.

NEW ORLEANS, La, June 3.-The
sentence Of the Savannah court in the
famous Green and Gaynor case involv-
ing over half million dollars fraud in
government contract work in the Savan-
nah harbor was affirmed today i'll an
opinion handed down by the United
States circuit court Of appeals. The SEN
tence is four years Imprisonment each
and a fine aggregating $4,000. Judges
Shelby and Mccormick handed down the
opinion which was on an appeal and
Judge Pardee dissented.
Claimed Extradition Illegal
Benjamin ID. Greene and John +. Gay
nor, the defendants appealed on 1913 as
slgnnents of errors. Most interesting of
these was the claim that their eXtraditon
from Canada. Il case which went to the
privy council of England before being
finally tried was illegal. They claimed
they were eXtradited upon one offense
and tried on another. Upon this point
the court says:
1T is not usual nor would if be ey-
pcdIent or practicable for Il warrant of
eNtradition to describe the crime with all
the tullness that would be required in an
Indictment. While eXtradition and in
dctment must be for the same criminal
acts it does not follow that the crime
must nave the same name i'll both coun-
tries"
Not So, Says Court.
The court held that the defendants
were eXtradited for an offense for which
they had been twice indicted
Replying to the contention that their
oheEse was not eXtraditable under the
treaty the court holds first that it was
eXtraditahle and then argues that even
II the treaty did not on its face allow
eNtraditlun for their offense nevertheless
the parties t. this treaty could have TAX
en- seton to make the instrument cover
the Otiense and that such action would
have applied to a previously committed
uHCnAe
Fought for Seven Years.
On the ground that they were fugi-
tives from justice, the court dismissed
the defendants plea for benefit of the
statute of limitations.
The first Indictment in this case was
found i'll Savannah in DCcember 1899,
so that today's decision comes after sew
cn years and nearly six months contin-
uous lighting against government prose
rution. Greene and Gayn0r can now
either apply for Il rchearng or 60 to the
supreme court on Il writ of certiOrari.
