Governor Morrison Has Tele-
graphed the State Depart
ment That North Carolina
VIII Not Send Witnesses and
Unless Bullock's Return Cam
not be Effected Through Dip
lomatic Channels he Hopes
this State Will Never be
Asked to Honor a Request
From Canada.


North Carolina witnesses appear be-
fore next Friday to testify against
Matthew Bullock, negro, who is want
ed in Norlina, N. c., on charge OF
attempted murder, he will be uncon-
ditionally released, Judge Snyder de-
;clared today in granting what he said
would be his last remand in the case.
The weeks postponement was
granted at the request of the United
States consul here who explained the
delays in presentation of evidence
were due to the long time necessary
in legal and diplomatic matters in
volNit partv consul was informed that
witnesses must appear in person and
affadavits unless supported by origin
al evidence would not be accepted.
Raleigh. Feb. 24-Governor Nor
rison today telegraphed acting Secre-
tary of State Fletcher at Washing
ton stating he will not send witnesses
to testify at the extradition trial of
Matthew Bullock at Ontario which
was suggested yesterday.
Bullock is wanted in this state on
a charge of attempted murder in con-
nection with the rioting at Norlina
N. c.
North Carolina will not make an
appearance through an attorney in
any Canadian Court, Gov. Morrison
said in his telegram, "It will not send
witnesses to have a trial before any
court there.
"f Canada will not honor our re-
quisition in the regular way and you
cannot through diplomatic channels
see that they do, hope you will not
hereafter request North Carolina or
any other State to honor a request
from Canada.
eff the treaty relations with Can
ada are not such as~to guarantee a
return to his country of desperate
criminals like Matthew Bullock, with.
out the states being sub
subjected to the humiliation of hav-
ing to appear before some Judge in
petty judicial proceedings in Canada
it is certainly a distressing situation
/ am not going to try North Caro-.
lina's honor and integrity before any
judge in any foreign country"
eff there is any error in form o1
regularity of application for the ex
tradition of this fugitive from jus
tice,'' said the Governor 'I will be
glad to have it corrected as far as
correction can be made in truth
