The New York prisoners have secured
counsel and writ of habeas corpus has
been sued out. Unless the Virginia de-
tectives and officers can show that the
people are fugitives from justice In Nir-

persons who robbed the railroads In the

which have already been honored by Gov

The magnitude of this case may mean
that the prisoners arrested in New York

that they have employed eminent counsel
to fight extradition. The fact that Mr..
Smith is going to the metropolis to make
a resistance against the fight of the En-

that the men will be brought back here
