ed the pleas Of J. Mercer Bur-

dition papers permitting the flu
gitive's removal to South Caro-

which | have publicly laid down
at the hearing held before me
a careful weighing of the demands
of justice against the demand of
the principle Of comfy between

ION this basis, IL has become
evident to me that Collier has by
this time amply paid his debt

no further purpose could be
served by his extradition.
