ROCCO MUST GO
 ID CALIFORNIA
Sheriff of Golden State County Given Custody of Man in BiSbee Ac-
 cused of Seduction
HONORS ACQUISITION

B. Rocco, the Italian who was ar rested here October lI at the request of California officers. must return b California to stand trial on the charge of seduction. Sherif Baker, of Kera county. California, arrived in the city yesterday morning from Phoenix, where he secured a writ of requisi- tion from Governor Hunt and left at a:2J o'clock yesterday afternoon, talk ing Rocco with him.
 The delivery Of Rocco into the hands of Sherif Baker was accom- plished, not by virtue of any decision Of The local court, but hy virtue of the curious sequence Of circumstance. The local magistrate, Judge Nj. C. High. before whom Rocco was ar Taignsd on October 26 in removal pro- ceedings, was to have given his de- cision in the case, holding him for removal or releasing him, at o'clock last night.
 Hunt Approves Acquisition
 Yesterday morning, however, SheT- in Baker arrived armed with a formid- able appearing document from Gov efnor Hunt, authorizing the California sheriff to take Rocco into custody and take him to the Arizona-C California state line and empowering him to en- list in his aid any or all peace off eers in the state.
 Upon the arrival of the officer with the all-powerful order from the gov- ernor of the state, Judge High dis missed the action against Rocco, SheT- i1 Baker took him into custody and lAA ..F train time.
 Rocco Taken Into Custody
 Thus under the governors writ Roe co, held by no judicial authority in this state, was taken into custody by an officer Ot another state and this custody, while travelling across this state, was on the authority of the executive department of the state. As the executive head of the state the governor placed the entire executive force, including the sheriff of every county, deputies and constables, at the service of the officer of the neigh boring state.
 Rocco Will Be Goat"
 4 formal ceremony will be enacted on the Golden State Limited early this morning, just as the train passes the state line at Yuma. The sheriff will have to get out of his berth early and hurry with his morning ablutions to preside at the ceremony and Roc. co, silent and complacent, will awake from dreams to realities to act the part of goat" at the ceremony. Once past the Arizona line Sheriff Baker Is in his own bailiwicE and the iuris- dictiOn Of the state of California be- comes positive.
 Sherif Baker will politely inquire of his fellow passenger, with whom he has been travelling and talking since leaving Bisbee:
 Are you B. Rocco
 And if the prisoner answers in the affirmative, the officer will then say.
 What the Sheriff Will Say
 Under and by virtue of the author fly vested in me by the state Of Cal itornia l arrest you and warn you that whatever you may say may be used against ySu"
 lt will make no difference, however, If Rocco denied his indenty, which is not likely since be was positively identified before leaving Risbee by other witnesses. for on the balance of the trip he would be known as John Doe
 II Is said that wedding bells may ring down the curtain on the Rocco case, in which prosecution may be dropped by the California authorities.
