Governor I j Brumbaugh did not refuse to honor I the requisition papers, but stated that I he would nave 'o investigate the case , and be assured that Grant would be j giv^n a fair trial if returned to this i state. There has been considerable | correspondence between Governor i Manning and Governor Brumbaugh! concerning the case. Xo announcement has been made i as to whether the requisition papers have been honored by Governor Brum- j baugh. The fact that Grant has been brought back to this state would indi- j cate that the papers had received fa-; vorable attention from the Pennsylvania executive.
