A LEGAL DILEMMA
Tangle of Red Tape In an Eng-
Extradition Case.
GETTING AROUND THE LAW.
Only tho Quick Wit of the Canadian
Police Inspector Kept a Notorious
Criminal In Custody When In Realty
He Was as Free as the Air.
The manner in which a prisoner ex-
to England from a foreign
country is treated while on the voyage
home depends very much on the de-
who has him in charge and
also on whether or no there is any
suspicion that he may be
violence either to himself or to
others.
For instance, in the case of Jabez
Balfour, who was taken to England all
the way from Aires, there
was a strong ill

suicide. Consequently
tor who had him in charge, de-
to take no risks that he could
possibly avoid.
The regulations do not permit of an
prisoner being handcuffed
on board ship once the vessel has left
port, and he must be allowed one
hour's exercise on deck each day.
These indulgences, if indulgences they
may be called, were therefore not
withheld from Balfour.
But he got few others. For twenty-
three hours out of every twenty-four
he was Immured in a locked cabin. Be
was not permitted even to enter the
public dining room, his meals being
brought to him by Mr. himself
after the rest of the passengers had
fed. He was, besides, constantly
watched and was subjected, to a most
rigorous search immediately on com-
aboard.
His only relaxation was an
game of chess with some of the
passengers who kindly came to bis
cabin to play with him by permission
and In the presence of bis keeper.
This sea Imprisonment lasted exactly
one month and a day, and Balfour
afterward declared that it was the
most trying experience of a captivity
that was destined to continue for
nearly twelve years.
One of the longest and in its later
stages one of the pleasantest voyages
over undertaken by an
criminal was that which Charles
ten Davidson, the notorious forger,

of Chief Inspector Murray of the Ca-
department of justice.
Murray tracked the wanted man
Mexico and secured his extradition to
Canada. But then his difficulties be-
He could not bring his prisoner
to Canada by the direct route through
the United States, for immediately
Davidson set foot in that country he
could have demanded to be released.
There was therefore nothing for ft but
to convey him by way of Jamaica and
England and thence back across the
Atlantic to Quebec.
On the voyage Murray kept David-
son under close observation, although
allowing him considerably more free-
than allowed Balfour.
When, however, he had got safely as
far as London he was both mortified
and astonished at the likelihood of his
having had all his trouble for nothing.

the legislature to meet, like
to have the views of of

line.
I believe that one of the greatest
objections to a voting primary is t -at
it does away with assembling of
the people in county conventions, at
which time they could give
views on public makers.
I also believe that it would a

I would suggest that the chairman
