Colonid Garner, who la Buffering 'from rheumatism, retired to hla room. It la understood that the United Bjetes govern ment will Inatltute new proceedings for extredltlon, hut up to a late hour no atep had been taken by counael repreaentlng the Washington authorities. ' Judgs Caron, who spoke In French, oc cupied about two hours In delivering '.its judgment. In reviewing the legal proceed ilngs Sines' the arrest of the two prleonera he pointed put ' that their counael had raised an important question to the ef- feet that the warrant Uaued by Magistrate Lafontalne waa Illegal on the ground that It 'did not contain the date nor the year' In 'which the alleged offeree had been com mitted. He could not presume when the 'offense was committed and it may have ' ' ' 'been previous to the signing of the treaty , ' between the Culled states and Great BrUaln and if ao the accused could not be held, as the treaties had bo retrocative ef- According to a deposition made In Montreal . by Mr. Krwln, counael for the United . Btatea In, May last, continued Judge Caron, the accused were charged with fraud committed an or about January 1, 1897. That crime was not Included In the treatlea and. that ' receiving i money under false p retensea -.-was only Included in the treaty of W4. " This was fatal to the prosecution, and 'the warrant Issued by Judge Lafontalne ' waa defective, aa the offense included there in did not fall under the extradition treaty; .consequently tha. arrest was illegal and the aocused must.be set at liberty. - Nat Part of tha Treaty. After citing authorities In support of his decision Judge Caron concluded aa follows: Considering that the warrant In virtue of which the petitioner are detained con i talne no date of tha commission of the I offense whereor tne petiiiuuvia in cused; considering that in virtue of the treatlea of extradition existing between , Great Britain and the United Btatea, It la positively provided that these treaties shall have no retroactive effect for of fenser committed before their passage; considering that the allegation of the date of the Commission of J he offense Is in con sequence 'essential-to give jurisdiction of the commlpaloner to Iw&ue a warrant of ar rest; considering furthermore that It Is not alleged In the warrant that the offense for which said warrant has been Issued Is one of criminal participation, -t punish able by the laws of both countries, which is a condition required by tha last para graph of the first article of the treaty of li'JO; considering that the Information, irw dlctments and true-bfl la, etc., produced for the IhuI of the warrant should show that the offense of which tha petitioners are charged and for which they would have to stand their trials In the United Btatea should extradition be granted, are not within the terms of the treaties of extra dition between Great Britain and the United States and disclose no offense com mitted by the prisoners fot which they cculd be extradited under the said treaties; considering In consequence that the war rant Issued by the said Ulrlo Lafontalne In hla above atated capacity Is null and il legal and could not warrant the arrest of the petitioner, the court rejects the said motion of the United States Intervening party, to quash the aald write of habeas corpus addressed to me on June 21, last, to ' the aatr) C. A. Valee, doth declare the ar rest and detention, of the said petitions illegal and doth annul and Set aside the said warrant of arreat.

CLEW IS BARTHOLIN' CASE Woau Tails Folic Storj Iroplicatiog Two Ksn is tha Murder. ANOTHER ARREST MADE ON STATEMENT C'hlraco Police Kndeavor te Worn ' Coafeealee Oat ef Prlsoaer ' " Thompson, nellevlna; They' Are ea Traeh af Marderer, CHICAGO, Aug. IS. The police obtained their first clue of value In the Bartholin case tonight and developments that will go far toward solving the mystery are sx pected within twenty-four hours. Inspector Hunt late tonight found a woman who declared that at daybreak on the morning following tbe night on which Minnie Mitchell disappeared in company wltb William Bartholin, she saw Oscar Thompson, driver for a laundry company, and who I now held in custody by the police; John daffy, the barn boae for the am company, and a man wearing a Panama hat and a dark sack coat, in front of ths lanndry. While the police have always contended that Thompson, who was a boarder In tbe bouse of Mrs. Bartholin, bad knowledge of her. death, they had not suspected that be was ' In any way connected with the mur der of Minnie Mitchell. The woman, tow ever,' was positive in her statement that she saw Thompson and CI a fry In company with the third man at the time and place mentioned. She knew both of them and declared that there was no chance of her being mistaken. Tbe description of tbe third man So far as It describes anybody, is a description of Bartholin the night he Was last seen with the Mitchell girl. Officers were at once sent In search of daffy and be waa taken Into custody with out difficulty. The police will talk to him later. ' Thompson la Svreatboz. Thompson was then called into the office of tbe inspector and Informed that be bad been seen with Claffy and Bartholin on the morning, following the night of, th killing of the Mitchell girl. The informa tion had a marked effect upon Thompson and eeemed for a minute to be on the point of collapse. He rallied, however, and declared that be was not there and knew nothing of the caae In any way. The police pressed him bard, but be would not .alter bis statement, although he was plainly much worried. After tb interview In spector Hunt declared that hs was more than ever Impressed with tbe opinion that Thompson bad guilty knowledge of the murder of Mrs. Bartholin and thought that before long be will weaken and tell what be knows. "I cannot give the name of the woman who gave me the information abotrt ths three men," said the inspector, "but' I am positive that she told me the truth. She knows Thompson and Claffy personally and there Is not one chance in a thousand of ber being mistaken. We bad not sus pected Claffy of being In the case at all, and ber statement that ah positively recog nized him makes It impossible that she bad bav been mistaken regarding Thomp son whom aha knows as well as She knows Claffy. The description of the third man fits Bartholin so far as It goes and I fee very confident that we are ' on tbe right track and will have the strings all in our hands before very long." The police during the day bad received the usual number of clews concerning the whereabouts of Bartholin but none of them amounted to anything. They admitted to night that tbey did ' Dot know - What bad become, of him. ..:,'' ,' Thompson SIfa;b4y Weakens. . The Woman, tonight was" confronted" with Thompson aad, while he was forced to ad mit .that be knew ber, and she knew him. he denied her atory. The woman declared that, a- light colored cap, which Thompson had attempted te throw away, was ode that he wore at tbe time ah aaw-hlm under the electric light. When asked why be threw that cap away te wear the one he had on when ar rested, be hesitated, and then said: "Give me until tomorrow. I will talk with you then." This plea was taken as an Indication that Thompson's wall of stolidity was broken down at laat by tbe strong evidence be had -been confronted with, and tbe polloe think he will tell all he know tomorrow. They expect be will confess te a share in the murders. - 'Claffy,' after .Thompson, was confronted with the woman In black. He at first said he did not know ber. -but immediately ad mitted tbat he did when she called him by name. Claffy is a man about 45 year of age. Tbe - woman repeated the story in exactly the came way she told it at first. He dented being wltb Thompson and Bartholin at. the time and waa immedi ately locked up again.

I came to hear these congressional candi date. 1 bav beard the three who are present, and I wish now to say that no man should own a seat In congress., I .be lieve that 'the time has come tor us to ask ourselves, 'Isn't five term enough for any one?' It takes some courage for ma to say thl under the circumstances, candidate as I am for the Judicial nomination, but I mean it," . . . For that sentiment round after round of applause was given to- Judge Blair. The R. 8. V. P. was totally In gored by David H. Mercer. He and other republican congressional candidates were Invited out te Sixteenth and Cortry street toa address the club along the lines suggested by their approaching campaign. A large and enthustaatlc body of men was gathered In Young' hall for this affair, but "Our Davs" came not. Neither did he send any regret, make any excuse. for not appear ing, or. In fact, recognize the invitation of the club in any way. Doesn't Help Dave Any. Tbe absence of Mr. Mercer, though ex pected, was the occasion of much comment on the part of those present, and It also af forded material for a deadly parallel which speakers other than the three- additional congressional 'aspirant did not fall to mak use of In comparing the merit of thl trio with those possessed by tb absent brother.

Mr. Breen said he bad been accused of an agreement with, another candidate not to come north of. Leavenworth street la thl campaign. He waa at Young's hall to disprove the existence of such a compact. The speaker, touched largely upon the topic of Issues. "There are no real Issues In thla campaign," aald be, "none of real na tional Import upon which honest and sin cere men can be divided." Mr. Breen thea exposed fallacies of a few of tbe alleged "Issues", set up by the democrats, dwell ing chiefly upon that of militarism, or mili tary despotism. "But for all that we must not overlook the subject of Issue In thl fight," said Mr. Pratt, taking up th thought at tbat point. "We must not forget that the democratic party can fight harder' without an lasue than any other organisation In existence. Those people do not need an Issue.
