THE FLElscHER ExrRAoITIoN CASE.
Writ of Habeas Corpus Granted Last Week Qusshsd. Accused Examln-
 ed and Discharged.

Last week l HE OASIS SLaleu that m Friday Mr. Louis B. Fleischer, who had been in custody some forty days awaiting hearing before the United States Commissioner upon an application of the Mexican Government for his extradition as a fugitive from justice in that Re- public, had been taken before Judge Duffy of the Superior Court of Santa Cruz County, State of Arizona, and released upon a writ Of habeas corpus. The hearing had been set for Monday morning at1O o'clock in the Commissioners Court. As matter of course the writ issued out of the Superior Court took the accused out of the jurisdiction of United States Com missioner and he was released from custody.
 Saturday evening United States Attorney Joseph k. Morrison ar rived from Bisbee, and Chief De- putty U. s. Marshal Don Willet came from Tucson to reopen the matter, and have the hearing of the case conducted in the Com missioner's Court, claiming that the proceeding in the Superior Court had been irregular in that the United States was entitled to notice of the application for a writ of habeas corpus, with time to appear in court at the hearing and oppose the proceeding, which had not been'given. After a conference between Judge Duffy, MT. Morrison, Mf. Flescher and his attorneys, Noon x Barry, it was agreed that on Monday morning the Superior Court would quash the writ and rcmand to custody the accused, which was done. Then at 2 o'clock Monday afternoon of the present week, the hearing of the extradi. tion application was heard before United States Commissioner Allen V Bird, sitting in the court room ofthe Superior Court. The room was filled with interested spect. ators. Hon. Joseph E. Morrison, United States Attorney, appeared for the United States, the Mexican government was represented by MT Daniel Montes, Mexican consul at Nogales, Arizona, and the ao- cused, who was present, had as counsel $. F. Noon Esq, and Frank J. Barry Esq.
 The evidence on behalf of the Mexlcan government, upon which was based the application for ex. tradition, was documentary entire Y, consisting of an official tran. script and translations thereof of the proceedings before the federal district court in March, 1910, when Mr. Fleischer was tried upon a charge of smuggling and bribery, escaping afterward from custody and seeking flight within the United States, including the testi- mony of the witnesses against Mir. Fleischer taken at an examination before a customs inspector of the Mexican government, which testi. mony was submitted to the court afterward and verified in court. by the witnesses under oath. The testimony went to the accusation that certain parties who had been arrested in crossing the line at
The oasis., 1912-03-16

uhllhDAO SOOdo luGO NACAlCO3 Iuu been employed by Mir. Fleischer to do so, and that the carriage had been permitted to pass by Corporal Escobar, of the customs guard, and one of his men, named Dominguez, who the witnesses alleged had been bribed by Fleischer to permit passage of the vehicle without inspection, The smuggling offence is not extraditable, but that of bribery is; but the testimony with regard to both offences was so in. terwoven that the entire testimony had to be taken into consideration and in good part read to the court.
 The principal witness was one Manuel Gonzalez, who testified that the carriage siezed belonged to his mother and was driven by his brother, who was one of those arrested and held in complicitv with Fleischer. The witness had been solicited by his brother to unite with him in the smuggling operations described, but had de- clined to do so. His brother had assured him there was no danger, because Flei5cher had bribed Cor poral Escobar and a number of the guards, naming them. (Upon the occasion of the siezure of the hack that vehicle had made one trip with contraband in safety, and was making the second when, after the carriage had passed Escobar had fired his pistol twice in success sion. The firing gave notice to the occupants of the carriage, and the driver whipped up the team, and went out Arizpe street, the goods being thrown out, and all but the driver escaping to the hills. Re- turning after their escape the driver was arrested, and the car riage and horses con6scated. The goods thrown out in the flight of carriage were siezed also. After ward the occupants of the carriage were arrested. ] The witness Ma nuel Gonzalez testified that he knew positively that Fleischer had bribed Escobar and the guards, which he asserted he would prove; but the proof consisted solely in the assertion that his brother had told him so, and an allegation that Fleischer had admitted to him that he had them fixed. This testimony, as taken in the examination by the customs inspector or special agent of the Mexican government, a man named Larrea, who was at Nogales some months in 1910, was verified in court afterward by the witness, Gonzalez, who confronted Fleis- cher, Tn presence ot the court. and under oath insisted upon the truth of the testimony he had given at the former examination.
 Another witness was Enrique Gonzalez, the brother of Manuel, who was with the carriage the night it was siezed. He verified all the story about the smuggling, and his testimony as to the bribery was to the effect that Fleischer had an arrangement with Escobar, but he could give nothing in the way of evidence to that end.
 Another witness was Dionisio Verdugo, an employe of Fleischer whose testimony corroborated all that had been told about the snug. gling, but made no mention of the alleged bribery.

Whole No. 982

AHB lSudCulC VI NOluuBO, anu Richard s. Green identified those of Alvarez. Licenciado Martinez was examined upon some other matters to which Attorney Morrl- son objected, and his testimony was ruled out.
 That closed the case. Then the respective counsel, U. s. Attorney Morrison and Frank Barry for the defence, presented short argu- ments, and the case was submitted.
 The Commissioner held that the case had not been made on behalf of the Mexican government, and ordered the accused released. Fol- lowing is his decision as taken in shorthand by Mir. Robert E. Lee, who reported the case:
 BY COMMISSIONER BIRD: "This case which has been brought before me has been very plainly shown by the papers and witnesses and arguments of counsel on all points, and calls for the return to Mexico of the defendant for an offense committed there, and in regard to which certain proofs have been submitted which were taken before a court in Mexico, and asking for the return of the accused who had escaped from the jurisdiction of that court.
 "It is evident that in support of the papers submitted that the Mexican government rested 10 8, certain extent upon the propu.ilon. that the accused is not a citizen. of the United States. It is true, that government, are less disposed to deliver up their own citizens to. governments of foreign lands thal& they would the citizens of another. nation, and they brought up the, question of Mir. Fleischer's citizen ship under the Act of 1907, and we disposed of that yesterday and pointed out that the Act of 1907 provides that if a naturalized citi- zen of the United States returns to the country whence he came and remains there two years, he loses his American citizenship; and if he goes to another country and re- mains five years he does the same. That, no doubt, applies to one naturalized under the law of 1907, but the evidence in this case shows that MT. Fleischer was nat uralized in 1898, nine years before the enactment of that law and is not subject to the same; and to try and prescribe 1t now would be un- constitutional, for in this case the law of 1907 would be ex post facto and prohibited, so it is very evil dent to the mind of the commis- sioner that MT. Fleischer has not abandoned his citizenship by his residence in Mexico, and it was admitted by counsel for the United States that Mir. Fleischer had con- tinued his rights of American citi- zenship when it was proposed to offer the evidence of the Recorder of Santa Cruz county as to the great register and polling lists at various elections showing that he had continued to vote here; so MT, Fleischer is to all intents and pur- poses a full fedged citizen of the United States.
 "Now the testimony in relation to bis alleged commission of crimes in Mexico goes to two allegations:

ltiSCIltf Vl6Itin, DuJ RlViHg lU testimony with regard to the alleged bribery.
 That comprised the case of the Mexican government, and when the testimony, which was very voIuminous, had been read, the prosecution rested, and the defence entered upon its testimony.
 The first witness was Mir. w. c. Bowman, agent for the Sonora railway, who testified that at the time FIeischer was under investig- ation in Mexico, by Larrea, the special agent or inspector of the custom house, that party (Larrea himself) approached him (Bow- man) and asked him persuade Dionisio Verdugo and Manuel Alvarez to testify against Fleis cher, and the witness stated that Larrea told him that he would cover them with money if they would do so." The witness testi- fled also that the reputation of the witness before the federal court in Mexico, Manuel Gonzalez, was bad. The United States attorney, MT. Morrison, objected to the character testimony as not meeting the legal requirements of such testimony.
 Then in succession, the defence put upon the witness stand Dave Loeb, Manuel Escalada, and Ra- mon Vazquez, all prominent and well known merchants in Nogales, Arizona, who testified they had known Manuel Gonzalez many years, and that he bore bad re- putation, MT. Morrison tried to pin each witness to specific state ments by others to the effect of bad reputation, or knowledge on their own part, and objected to their testimony as not meeting the legal requirements for statutory testi- mony.
 Letters from the witnesses Dio- nisio Verdugo and Manuel Alvarez were produced and offered in evidence, but withdrawn to have better translatiOns made and brought in on Tuesday.
 MT. Phil Herold; county record- CT, was called with the great re- gister and poll lists at elections in 1 Nogales to show Mir. Fleischer had continued to vote at all elections in Nogales, Arizona; but the prosecu- tion admitted the fact, and the wit ness was not put upon the stand.
 The court then took a recess until Tuesday morning, at 9;30.
 Tuesday morning the letters from the witnesses Dionisio Yer dugo and Manuel Alvarez, address ed to Manuel Mascarenas Jr., were introduced in evidence, and there were read accurate translations of the same that had been prepared over night. Verdugo's letter de- c1ared that the testimony he had given before the special agent of Mexican customs house, and after ward repeated in court, had been extorted from him by threats to put him into the Mexican army unless he did so; and the letter of Alvarez asserted that by threats to put him into the Mexican army Larrea had induced him to sign a blank sheet of paper, upon which the inference was given, there had been written afterward the testi- mony produced. It appeared that Alvarez was not taken before the

The editor of this paper came
to Pemiscot county in Soptem-
Der, 1897, which WAS - years
ago. He became identified with
newspaper work in the county in
1898, which was II years ago. He
became actively engaged in the
newspaper business in Penis
cot county in March, 1898, which
was II years ago last March.
These figures show that we have
been in the newspaper business
in the county longer than any
other man now engaged in that
calling, and the record of the
Herald goes to prove that eXper-
ience tells. There is but one way
to run newspaper, and that is
the right way, and the right way
is to consider all the bcople just
