CASES ON RECORDS
insult Situation Is Only One
of Hundred Handled by
State Department.
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
Revelation that the State Depart
ment is engaged in systematic rem
ovation of all extradition treaties with
foreign nations discloses that an av-
erage Of more than 100 extradition
cases are handled by the departments
legal authorities annually.
"U. S. VS.. Samuel insult, sr.," al
though the most publicized of extra
dition cases in recent years, was
"just another extradition case" in
the State Department.
Extradition cases now in the de-
partment's files involve American cit
liens wanted for crimes and who are
f1nally-sometimes years afterward-
arrested in some foreign country.
Others involve alleged foreign Grim
inals who have sought refuge in the
United States to escape police of ma
tions in Europe, Asia and Africa.
Professor Involved.
One of the most interesting cases
now before the State Department,
with racial as we'll as international
ramifications, revolves around DR..
Jao FREDERICK Normano. former di-
rector of the Harvard University Bu-
reau of Economic Research in Latin
America.
The German Embassy last year
asked for Normano's arrest in Massa-
chusetts, alleging he was actually
Isaak Levin, a Jewish banker, charged
with fraud in Berlin amounting to
100000.
Months of legal and diplomatic
negotiations failed to settle the ques-
ton, and Normano finally filed a writ
of habeas corpus in a Massachusetts,
court in final bid for freedom. Nor
mano, in his petition, asserted that
because he was a Jew it would be
impossible for him to obtain fair
trial in country dominated by Hit
Ter anti-Semetic policies.
Normano also claimed that since he
was not extradited within go days
as provided by the extradition treaty
Germany has lost all claim to him.
Not to Ask Extradition.
Another colorful extradition case
has just ended through Secretary
HullS decision not to ask Canada
for the extradition of Frank Grigware,
alias James Fahey. Grigware (or
Fahey) was arrested in Jasper, Al
berta, where he had lived as a re-
spected citizen Of the community for

many years, on q minor charge Of
poaching.
His fingerprints. police charged,
proved him to be Grigware, who, "a
years ago, was arrested for holding
up a Union Pacific train near Omaha,
Nebr. Grigware, it was claimed, es-
capped from Leavenworth Penitentiary
in a fantastic jail-break in which he
drove locomotive through the prison
gates.
Fellow citizens in the little Cana
dian town made dramatic pleas that
the alleged train robber, now q re-
spected member of the community,
not be extradited to face charges q
quarter of century old.
Case Involves Escape.
Another extradition case pending
before the department involves an
other desperate escape. Umberto
Bianchi, alias Murgelescu, while un-
der arrest in New York was taken to
Governors Island In New York Harbor
to testify in another case.
Bianchi slipped away from his
guards, swan to shore and disap-
peared. He later was arrested in
Mexico City, but escaped while being
held for American authorities. "A few
days ago he was arrested again in
Tegucigalpa, Honduras.
The Mexican government recently
requested the arrest of Henry Keene,
deputy United States marshal at
Laredo, Tex, and two Mexican
Americans there on the charge of
having kidnapped a Mexican citizen
and taken him to the United States
to stand trial. The Mexican, it was
asserted, had been illegally arrested
in Mexico and hauled across the
border to Laredo Numerous diplo-
matte notes, diplomatic visits, and
legal technicalities must be under
gone before the case can be filed away
with completed cases.

L. S. Military
Officers Aid
Nazis Here
House Committee Slides
Over Evidence of Nazis
in National Guard

NEW YORK. = Close tie-up be-
tween officials of the U. S. branch
of the Stahlhelm, adjunct to the
Nazi movement, and officers of the
National Guard to aid in spreading
Hitler fascist propaganda among
the guardsmen, was revealed at the
opening hearing yesterday of the
special Congressional Committee in
vestigating foreign propaganda in
this country in the Bar Association
Building, AZ W. 44th st.
Members of the Stahlhelm are
sent here from Germany with in
structions to join the National
Guard And U. S. military officials
of the National Guard here not
only encourage Nazis to join, but
facilitate their joining even to the
point of breaking United States
federal laws to get them in.
This fact was revealed in the tes-
timony of Walter Feige, whs came
from Germany on June 80, 1892,
joined the Stahlhelm here on the
same day, and soon after joined the
National Guard.
U. S. Officer Falsifies Card
Feige was not citizen of the
U. S. when he joined the National
Guard. He swore that he had told
the recruiting officer, Captain Louis
A. Imhoff, that he was not citi-
zen, yet the captain signed his men,
bership card as U. S. citizen.
1t is against the law for a non
citizen to become a member of the
National Guard.
Feige also admitted that National
Guard officers and Stahlhelm off,
GERS were quite chummy with one
another, and often attended the
celebration of one or another of the
organizations. At at least one of
these celebrations of the Stahlhelm,
in October, 1888, National Guard
officers present openly invited all
members of the Nasi Stahlhelm to
become members of the guardsmen.

BULLETIN

MONTGOMERY, Ala, July 8.
The world wide mass protest
against the Scottsboro lynch YER
diets once more set back the
hands Of the Alabama execu-
TONERS today as, under pressure
of a flood of protest kilograms
and letters, the Alabama Su-
preme Court granted an applica-
ton by the international Labor
Defense for a stay of execution
for Haywood Patterson and Cla-
renee Norris, pending appeal
against the lynch death verdicts.
NEW YORK. = Applications for
re-hearings on the appeal for
Haywood Patterson and Clarence
Norris, two Of the Scottsboro boys,
have been filed with the Alabama
Supreme Court by Osmond K.
Fraenkel, noted New York attor-
ney, who is handling the appeals
for the international Labor De-
Tense. Fraenkel at the same time
filed an application for stay of
execution.
August 81 was set for the legal
murder of the two lads under the
recent decision of the Alabama
Supreme Court, rejecting the ap-
peal for Norris, and refusing to
consider the appeal for Patterson
on the basis of the legal techni-
cality falsely raised by Attorney
General Knight, fanatical perse-
cutor of the nine Scottsboro boys.
Accompanying the application
for re-hearing in the Patterson
case, Fraenkel submitted a brief
which pointed out that the courts
decision striking out the bill of ex-
ceptions had failed in any way to
mention the three main conten-
lions of the defense. The de-
lenses position on this matter was
that the bill of exceptions was
filed in time because filed within
80 days from Dec. 6, 1888, the date
of the Judgment as set forth in
the record and as stated by the
attorney general in writing when
moving to strike out the defenses
motion for a new trial.
Fraenkel cited cases from the
U. S. Circuit Court of Appeals and
the U. S. Supreme Court to up
hold his contention that striking
out a bill of exceptions under such
conditions would be unjust.
In the Norris case, the brief
called attention to certain distor-
tons c. the contentious of the de-
Tense by the state court.
