The Huron Expositor, 1892-05-20, Page 5MAY 20, 1892 THE HURON EXPOSI1LOR _ Murray was parithig through there on his way to New York and wag shown to the detective by the Buffalo detectives. The commissioner sent a transcript of the evi- dence to the State Department at Washing- ton to be passed upon. The lawyer for the defence, a prominent Republican, also sent a transcript to a Republican Senator to get political influence to bear upon the State Department to refuse the extradition, but when Detective Murrey heard of this he had at letter sent to the British legation at Weshington, and the legation acted im- mediately and the warrant for extradition was issued on the 7th inst. Murray got the letter on Thursday of last week and started at once for home.- He reached ListoweI 'Monday at 12.30 with the prisoner. When the prisoner crossed the line, he said he guessed the gig was up and he made a dean breast of the whole affair. He told the story of his Winnipeg escape and all his doings. Before Mr. J. E. Terhune, police magistrate, the prisoner in the afternoon pleaded guilty, and was at once committed for trial. Faling is one of the biggest con- fidence men that ever struck this country, and his victims all over the province will be pleased to hear of Murray's clever capture and success in extraditing him. He is now in Stratford jail, and the authorities of that institation will need to keep a watchful eye on him. Wine -rani. BBIEFS.—Mr. T.
