Opinion ef the Attermey General. He Dissents from Jadge Blatchford. Carl Vogt €: jot be Surrendered to the German Government’ DEPARTMENT oP Justice, WassineTon, July 2st, 1% Hon. J. C. B. Davis, Acting Secretary of State. Si I have the honor to acknowledge the receipt of your communication of the 7th in- stant, in which you submit, for my official opinion, the following question: “Carl Vogt, a Prussian, charged with the commission of the crimes, murder, arson and robbery, committed in Brussels, in tlie kingdom of Belgium, is found afuzitive in the United States; can the German government, under the provisions of the treaty for the extradition of criminals, concluded between the United States afi Prussia and other states, June 16th, 1552, rightfully demand the surrender by this gov- ernment of the fugitive Vogt in order that he may be tried and punished in Prussia, for the offence which he is charged to haye committed in Belgium.” ‘These parts of the preamble and treaty ap- Plicable to this question are as follows: Preamble. “Whereas, it is found expedient for the better administration of justice, and the prevention of crime within the (rritories and ju- risietion of the parties, respectively, that per- sons committing certain heinous crimes, being fugitives from justice, should under certain cir- cumstances, be ey delivered up; aud also to enumerate such crimes explicitly; and whereas, the laws and constitution of Prussia and other German states, parties to this cou- vention, forbid them to surrender their own citizens to a foreign jurisdiction, the govern- ment of the United States, with a view of mak- ing the convention sfrict/y reciprocal, shall be heid equally free from any obiigation to sur- rencer citizens of the United States.” Article 1. “It is ered, that the United States and Prussia, and the other states of the G manic Confederation included in,or which may hereafter accede to this convention, shall, upon mutual requisitions by them or their ministers, officers, or authorities, respectively made, de- liver up to justice all persons who, being charged with the crime of murder, or assault with intent to commit murder, or piracy, or arson, or robbery, or forgery, or ‘the utterance of forged papers, or the fabrication or circula- tion of counterfeit money, whether coin or paper money, or the embezzlement ef public S,commitied within the jurisdiction of ertie y party, Shall seek an asylum or shall be found within the territories of the other.” You state that thesurrender of Vogt is claimed by the German government on the ground that he Is'a Prussian and a subject of the Emperor of Germany; that by the law of Prussia at the conclusion of the extradition treaty betwe the United States and Prussia and other Ger- man States, 10th of June, ect who committed certain crim those with which Vogt is charge: are included) within the territory o1 another nation, and i yond the territories of Prussia, was neverthe- less sul This is 18: following appears to be the on!y poi controversy:—Whether or not, according to the true intent and meaning of said treaty, t crimes committed by Vogt in the kingde Belgium were comniitted within the jurisdi tion of Germany. To affirm the jurisdiction of Germany, by virtue of itsown laws for the punishment of crimes extends over the territory of Belgium, is necessarily to hold that the same ju ction extends to France, Great Britain, and the United States, and indeed to every nation and country of the world. Manifestly, the words “committed within bel depirwte auge de imply that the crimes named in the treaty may be com- mitted without the jurisdiction of the parties thereto. Butif the crimes committed in Bel- jum were committed within the jurisdiction of dermany, then it follows as Belgium is as inde- pendent of Germany as any other nation, that it is impossible for crimes to be comm itted out- ssde of the jurisdiction of the German empire, 1 think too that the treaty clearly contemplates that the fugitive claimed must be a person e: caping trom tbe jurisdictfon of the party making the claim, to the jurisdiction of the other party; recognizing two distinct and inde- pendent jurisdictions. But if the claim of Ger- many is correct in this case, Vogt is as much within her jurisdiction now as he was when tha crimes charged upon him were committed, for the laws amser which she claims have as much ferce within the United States as they have in Belgium. The laws of Germany which provide for the punishment there of crimes committed elsewhere by ber subjects imply ez necesita, as acondition for the exercise of that pow that such guilty subject must come or be con- veyed from a foreign place or jurisdiction where the crimes are committed to some place where they can be taken or received and held by German authorities. Germany has an uu- questioned right to punish her subjects if the chooses for crimes committed in Belgium or the United States, but it would not be oper therefore to say that Belgium and the United Statesare within her jurisdicsion, but it would be properto say that she has made provisions to puuish her subjects for crimes committeed without as well as within her jurlediction. : I am quite clear that the words committed Withithin the jurisdiction, a8 used in thetreaty, do not refer to the personal tiabitities of the criminal, but to locality. The locus d4ira—the place where the crime is committed—must be within the jurisdiction of the party demanding the fugitive. : ; Stress is put upon the supposed difference in the meaning of the words ** territory” and “ja- risdiction,” and it is argued that the latter is more comprehensive than the former term. ‘This is pot necessarily, but probably so; but tt does not follow that Belgium is within the ja- risdiction of Germany. All nations have ju- risdiction beyond their physical boundaries. Vessels upon the high seas and ships of war everywhere are within the jurisdiction of the nations to which they belong. Limited juris- diction by one nation upon the territory of an. other is sometimes ceded by treaty, as ‘appears from the treaties between the United States, Turkey, China, Siam and other powers. Gon- structive jurisdiction may possibly exist in special cases arising in barbarous countries or aninbabited places, so that effect can be given to the word * jurisdiction” as meaning more than territory, without holding that Germany bas jurisdiction over crimes committed in Paris, London or shington. Local claims or deti- nitions cannot be allowed to govern this When nations discuss and treat of their respoc ive jurisdictions, they do not reter to those duties and responsibiiities which a goyernment imposes upon its own citize: but they contemplate those portions of the earth and places upon its surface where they have respectively sovereign power, or, in other words, the Tight etree ment. To recognize the claim of Germany in this case would establish a precedent that a 24 lead to serious international complications. We bave no extradition treaty with Belgium, but we have with Great Britain like that under consideration. Suppose Yogt had committed ¢ crimes with which he is charged in England instead of Belgium, and the British authorities con' ously with Germany had de- manded bis extradition on that account, could the United States deny that the crimes were committed ‘within the jurisdiction” of Great Britain and not “within the jurisdiction” of Germany? Could not Great Britain justly com- if, after the murder of her citizens and e destruction of her property by the fugitive, her claim to him for the oe ot justice should be denied by the United States, and he should be turned over for trial to Germa: section 957, say: y tion of the term ‘jurisdiction’ is to treat it as convert’ble with “ countr: committed wid! artiele of the treaty of 1794 wi Says that it was confined expressly to persons who are charged with murder or forgery com- e) hich ‘netrated ath in for a social ripple. isdoubted. Reference has been made to the act of Congress of August 18th, 1856, which declares that perjury committed before @ secte- tary of legation or consular officer of the United States ip a foreign country may be prosecuted and punished in this country as though com- mitted here, and this, it is said, shows that the United States as well as Germany claim an extra territorial jurisdiction, There seems to be no point in this Teference. ‘According to inter- national law the domictl of an ambassador, minister extraordinary or consul is a part of the territory be represents for many purposes; but, independent of this, the question here is not whether a sovereign country may not punish persors coming into its hands for crimes com- mitted in another sovereignty, but the question here is whether a crime committed upon the admitted territory and within the exclasive government of ‘an independent nation is committed within the jurisdiction of av- other nation. ‘To facilitate the punishment of crime is desirable, but the United States cannot with dignity and safety admit that any foreign power can acquire jurisdiction of any kind within their territory by virtue of its loca! enactments. Objection is made to this con- struction of the treaty on the grouna that it will make the United States an asylum for En- Topean criminals. But the objection is not Matter of law, nor is it true as matter of fact, and if it was, the United States, as an act of courtesy, may deliver up a fugitive from justice or the subject may be regulated by an extradi- tion treaty as comprehensive as the parties thereto see proper to make Xt; or, if it should appear necessary, Congress might possibly in- terfere by legislation. To recognize the claim to jurisdiction accompanying the requisition in this case, may open the ‘door to confusion and controversy as to claims of jurisdiction in other respects made under their local laws by foreign governments. The plain and practical rule upon the subject seems to be that the jurisdie- tion of a nation is commensurate with and con- tined to its actual or constructive territory, ex- cepting changes made by agreement, and to this effect are the authorities. Three of the judges of the Queen’s Bench in Tionan‘s case (5 Best and Smith, p. 643), upon application by the United States for Pionan, ch arged with the crime of piracy, committed upon an American ship on the high seas, and a fugitive from justice in-England, made under our extradition treaty of 1542 with Great-Bri- tain, held that the words “within the jurisdic- tion,” in said treaty meant within the exelasive jurisdiction of the United States, and did not ‘apply to cases of piracy on the igh seas, as the person charged therewith was justiceable in any country where he was found. Chief Justice Cockburn, in his dissenting opinion, thought that the term “jurisdiction” meant the area, whether by land or water, over which the law of a country prevails, and said that it is admitted that a ship Is a part of the territory of the state, or at allevents that this ship, referring to the one on which the irae ‘was committed, was within the jurisdiction of the United States, so ak to come within the statute. Thomas Allsop, a British subject, was charged as an accessory before the fact to the murder of a Frenchman in Paris in 1858, and escaped to the United States, and as he was punishable theretor by the laws of Great Britain, the ques- tion as to whether he could be demanded by reat Britain of the American government un- der the extradition treaty of 1842, was submit- ted to Sir J. D. Harding, Queen’s advocate, the attorney and solicitor general, Sir Fitzroy Kel- ley, chief baron of the exchequer, and McCairus, since lord chancellor, and they recorded their judgment as follows:—“We are of the opinien that Allsop is not a person n the jurisdiction of the British crown, within the meaning of the treaty of 1842, and tbat his extradition cannot properly bedemand- ed of the United States under that treaty.” (Forsyth’s Cases, p. 368.) This ts a decision exactlyin point, and of high authority. Phillimore, in his work on interna- tional law, volume 1, page 2, says:—‘‘There to are two circumstances observed which oc- cur m these and in all other cases of extra- dition. 1. That the country demanding the criminal must be the country in which the crime is committed. 2. That theact done on account of which his extradition is demanded - must be considered as acrime to both states. Wharton in his work on the conflict of laws, i says: “The only admissible restric- nd to hold that no requisition ies for an oifence not committed withln the country of the req airing state. And this view is not without support im those ex- pressions of the treaties which speak of the per- sons claims das fugitives, sud as ‘seeking an slum’ in the state on whom the requisition is made implying as it were @ change ot coun- rye”? David Dudley Ficld, esq., i his outlines of an international code spesking of an article proposed on extradition says: “The article in its present form detines the right of extradition as it is now Tecoguized extending only to crimes ithe jurisdiction of the de- manding nation. It may be thought desirable toextend the rule to offences against the law ofanation committed beyond its jurisdiction which it would have power to punish if the of- fender comes within its Jurisdiction.
