NEED NOT RETURN.
Governor Ginett of California Re
fuses Requisition.

Sacramento, Cal. July 2O.-Gover-
nor Gillett has refused to honor re-
QUESTIONS from Kansas for the return
of David Woods and Joseph Stanford,
both charged with murder and at
present in San Diego. The refusal
was based on the ground the verdict
of the Kansas coroner's jury was not
sufficient under the laws of the state.
Attorney General Jackson is not in
the city today and Assistant Attorney
General Shukers has just returned
from his vacation trip and knew
nothing about this requisition. But
Mr.. Shukers was of the opinion that
the California people were justified
by law in refusing to honor a requisi-
tion based only upon a coroner's
warrant. 1t is supposed that the
papers were issued on authority OF a
clerk in the attorney generals office.
Woods and Stanford are wanted for
the crime Of murder committed in
Brown county The requisition
papers were issued July 16.
