Pothier of Central Falls, R. I, has won his long fight to prevent removal to the state of Washington to stand trial vn a federal indictment charging the murder of Major Alexander P Cronkhite. The U. 8. Cirenit court of Appeals in an unanimous decision handed down late yesterday ordered him discharged from custody on the ground that at the time of the shoot- |ing of Major Cronkhite at Camp Lewis, Wash,, in October, 1918, the United States did net hold title to the military reservation and consequently the crime oharged 'was not an offense against the United States.” Pothier has been in jail for nearly nine months. A federal district court order for his removal to Washington was appealed to the U. 8§ Supreme court which sent the appeal to the ap- peltate court for a ruling. EPPLER-HENZEL WEDDING Rev.
