The Decision at Hearing in Atlanta
Thursday Rased on Contention of
Felder's Lawyers that the I’ajyers
from South Carolina Executive
Were Inadequate.
Governor Brown, of Georgia, on
Thursday refused to honor requisi-!
tion papers, issued by Governor I
Blease, of South Carolina, for Thos. i
B. Felder, an Atlanta attorney, for
Whom a warrant has been sworn out!
In Newberry, S. C., charging him
with attempted bribery of H. H. Ev
ans, a former member of the old
State dispensary board.
The\contention of Mr. Feldtr's ar
torneys, that the requisition papers
were inadequate because they lacked]
affidavits to indicate that any per-'
Hon had sjXecfflc knowledge of the}
alleged offence, was sustained by |
Governor Brown.
The papers merely included a copy
of a warrant charging that "one B.
F. Kelly, from information presented
to him, believed T B Felder, on
the of October, J90i>," offered or
promised, “certain gratuities or
gifts,” to H H Evans'.
When Governor Brown told Mr
Felder that he had denied extradl-;
tion, the latter replied th<ft he “prob-j
ably would be going to South Caro
lina very soon" on his own accord.
He declared his innocence of any at- 1
tempt to bribe and asserted that th“
warrant was merely a subtofifge on
the part of his enemies to get him 1 "
into the State.
“I would like to see your creden
tials,'' demand d Mr. Felder, when
W A Holman, of Charleston, S C .
arose to address the Governor to ar-
g» c for honoring the requisition “I
want to know who is back of tnese
ch t'e* s “
I am here merely as a lawyer re
presenting the soverlrn State of
South Carolina," replied Mr Holman
“As to anything hack of these charg
es, I know nothing My credentials,
as vou will see, are signed by Gov
ernor Blease “
Mr Holman asserted that the Con
atitntion of the United States left the
Executive of a sister state no disce-
tion in the matter, when the Execu
tive of one State Issued.a requisition
upon tiie oth r for a person in anoth
er State
“I reeogni/e that 'he Constltu'ion
of the United States is the principal
compelling power," said the U.overn-
rr, "hut the function of a Governor
U to proteet the int Tests of citizens
of his Statae when that State's laws
are not eomplled with"
The mere fact that the papers a)
leging the crime charged against Mr
] elder w er ■ UaVcom pan !ed bv a cer
t (Irate bearing the seal of Governor
T,lease, was not sufficient evidence
of crime to warrant him, he said
to grant the extradition
S' veral prominent members of the
Go rgia Bar addressed the Govern
or in behalf of Mr Felder, and cited
numerous pr rodents In which qnnrts
In Georgia and o' her States had de-
(l:ned rquisition because the pacers
did not conform to the laws of the
Sta'e upon whose Executive they
were issued
The alleged cause underlying the
request for oxtradition personal an
imosity between Mr Felder and Gov
Blease, resulting from differences in
connection with the winding tip of
the old South Carolina State dispen-
sarv system was not brought ou'
at th ■ hearing which proceeded the
denial of the request. It was allud
ed to incidentally by Mr, Felder, who
declared that he had intended to
make a statement baring the entire
matter, but the attorneys represent
ing him had found sufficient flaws in
the requisition papers as to make ft
unnecessary to Inject personalities
Into the proceedings.
"It Is not a matter in which per
sonalities ebon id enter," commented
the Governor.
