GAYNOR AND GREENE CASE.
N Appeal From Judge Caron's Decis
ion Defendants Keep Close.
Washington, Sept. 9. Marlon Ep
win, the special assistant to tho at
torney general in the prosecution ol
Captain Oberlln M. Carter and Messrs.
Giueue and Gaynor, in the cases In
volving alleged big frauds in govern
ment engineering work at Savannah
has just returned from New York
wher- ho went in connection with civil
suits to recover a half million dollar!
of assets to the government. Regard
ing the Greene and Gaynor extradition
matter Mr. Erwin said:
"Judge Caron's decision reversing
Judge Andrews' judgment and dis
charging the prisoners from cuRtody
before we could have our hearing be
fore the extradition commissioner, Is
by no means regarded by the depart
meut of justice as ending our efforts
to accomplish the extradition. It It
true that we have no appeal under the
laws of Canada from the derision ol
Judge Caron discharging the prisoners.
It makes no difference how many
judges may decide that our proceed
ings were well founded, as Judge An
drews decided In this case. If the
prisoners can find one Judge who will
decide otherwise and free them, there
is no appeal from such a Judgment,
however crronecti3.
"This is not true under the United
Slates laws. In such a case, the for
eign government has right to appeal
to the Knlted States supreme court.
The L'nlted States employed In Can
ada the ablest counsel that could be
obtained there and the latter have
no doubt of the correctness of Judge
Andrews' decision holding that extra
ditable offences were charged.
"Whllo we have no appeal, I will
not say we are entirely without rem
edy. Whatever remedies exist will be
applied In the proper way at the prop
er time. Meantime the defendants
are practically compelled to keep close
to their city of refuge. It Is sufll
clent to say the extradition proceed
ings are not enderi "
