Important Extradition Case, ‘The following opinion has been rendered by Com- Literatare » missioner Newion:— In the Matter of the Complaint and Requisition or Louts Philippe de Luge, Consut of the Swiss Con- ederation at New York, vs. Francois Farez.— francois Farez is charged In the complaint of Lous Puilippe de Luze, Consul of the Swiss Confederation at New York, with having forged certain commer- ctal papers to the amount of 30,000f., or there- avouts, within the jurisdiction of the Swiss Confed- eration, and contrary to the laws thereof, and to have fed thereafter from said Confederation to the Untted States. Toe Consul also charges that said crime ts within the atipula- tions of the treaty or general convention of frieudship, reciprocal establishments, commerce, and for the surrender of fugitive criminals, nade and concluded between the governments of tne United States and the Swiss Confederation and rati- fied on the 9th day of November, 1865. And the Consul prays for the arreat and extradition of tne said Francois rete in accordance with said treat; ‘Btipulations, on Lhe complaint so made as aforesaid, Upon said complaint, and in accordance with the act i Congress entitled “an act for giving effect to cer- tain treaty stipuiauions between this and foreign governments for the apprehension and delivery up of certain offenders,”’ passed August 12, 1848, a warrant ‘was duly issucd by me and tue alleged fugitive was arrested thereunder. Upon the return of the war- rant the counsel for the Swiss Confederation, Mr. H. D. Lapaugh, asked for an adjournment in order to afford him time to produce from his government the evidence of crimiuality sata to exist against the risoner, Which evidence, it is claimed, will brit e case under the treaty afuresaid, to be dispose of as therein provided. An adjournment was granted and the 1st of November proximo ‘Was sect apert for the hearing. © case now comes fp on @ motion by the counsel for the prisoner that the order of arrest be vacated and the prisoner discharged, or that the exrmination in the charges against the accused be proceeded with immediately. It ia contended by counsel, who ‘urged the point with considerable force and acumen, that the prisoner should be discharged, because no power vests in the commission or other officer ‘under the tre to comuut an alleged offender un- Jess full and complete evidence of his crimtoality appears. If this view be correct & fugitive criminal could not be detatued except on presentation of all the evidence, or sufficient at least to war- rant the President im granting his certifi cate of exiradition, I do not so interpret the law. The act of Congress giving efiect to the treaty under Which the alleged fugnive is sought to be surrendered expressiy vests in the oMcial issuing the warrant “power, jurisdiction ana authority upou complaint made under oath or atfirm- ation, charging any person found within the hunts Of uny Slate, District or ‘Lerritory with having comw- Mitied within the jarisdiction of any such foreign government any of the crimes enumerated or pro- vided for by any sach treaty or convention to issue his warrant for the apprehension of the person 80 cnarged, that he may be brought before suck judge or cowmis-ioner, to the end that the evidence of erimiuality may be heard and considerea.”” The act then goes on to state that “if on the hearing the evidence be deemed sulicient by him to sustain, . $ne charge under the provisions of tie proper treaty or convention, it suall be the duty of the judge or commissioner to certify the same, together with a copy of all the testimony taken before him, to the Becreiary of Stave, that & Warrant may (isaue,’’ tuereby clearly showing that a warrant is to issue jo the first mstaace lor the apprehension of the party charged to be @ jugiuve criminal, aud aitevwards, to wit:—On the hearing, whenever that shall take place, evidence Is to be given to tain the charge or complaint so made, With this power of arrest follows, incidentally, the power of commitnent until the final heariag and conclusion ‘of the proceedings, When, in Che language of the act, ‘if te evidence be deemed sufficient to gua Laid the charge 10 shall be the auty of the jaagé or co. misstouer to issue his warrant for the com- mitiuent of the person so charged to the proper jal), to remain whtil such surrender sliall be made.”? Were the views of the prisoner's counsel to obtain We should have the anomaly Of & commissioner ue thorized vo issue & warrant will no power of com- tatiment, even pending the hearing oa the com. jai In my judgment no such construc- on ¢an be given to the act. As to the demand made for an immediate hearing on the complaint, my Inclinations and sym- pathies are always disposed to yield @ ready compll- auce with @ request of this kind; but after carefur consideration | am impelled by asense of duty to Siiow the Consul of the Swiss Confederation until the ist of November proximo to procure the evidence eee ts Tat orate that the pipe ie Accused persons & 5) earing or u ‘The nation o1 this to Gag one appre- hended under its laws, be he citizen or foreigner; but Jt also Owes another duty to the governments with which it enters into the solemn obiigations of trea- fies By such treattes we incur reapousl- Diities as Well af Advantages, and we owe 1! 10 the nation treated with, as weil as our own, ‘hat those yesponsibilities should be religiously observed.
