Blackwood, of Aiken, who was kidnapped hy Stone und McNally, came o'" lu fore Judge Honey in Augusta \Yedncsday. Thc most luipottant paper submitted hy the petitioner was tho affidavit of bis wife, Mrs. Susan K. Black wood. She swears, in substance, that Stone and McNally went to her house on tho night of the '.'"?li ol March and asked for a glass of water, and when it was handed them by lu r husband lie was seized violently by Hie arm by McNally, while Sinne pointed a pistol at him ?ind hand culled him. When he asked for what be was arrested they refused to produce any authority, and simply slated that "they were authority themselves.'' That both nun acted in a rude, boisterous and threatening manner. Aller arresting him llioy searched tuc house, nud besides taking $80 in money they took one silver walch, one razor, ono pistol and one set of knives and forks, none of which have been returned, be fore they left die house Blackwood en treated them not to leave his wife penniless and alone, when I lay refunded her $10. That before her husband was taken away by Hie persons above named, as their pris oner was in irons, he rctllOllSlrutcd with thom, mid remarked to them that if they had given him their authority when I hey ?rsl arrested bim and had not placed him in handrail's, he might have cheerfully gone willi them. Blackwood was then put on the stand, and he- testilicd as follows: "1 have been living in Aiken county since last August. On the niela of the Ulli March Stone and McNally came to my house, asked for a gluSSof water, and when I gave il to them. Moue leveled a pistol al my head, handcuffed me, took me into thc house, searched it. and tock almost every thing I had, snell as money and silverware. McNally wanted to take some jewelry, hut Stone told him it was my wile's, ?uni he left it. Tlicy then brought me io Augusta, not taking tho halidon ITs oil' till we crossed the river. On thc 10th, sc veil days aller my arrest, Deputy Sherill' Campbell came to thc jail and served a warrant, and on coming from thc jail to day, a few inimit?s after ? o'clock, he served another warrant on nie, a bench warrant. When arrested, I told them I did not want to conic, lau ii tiley had authority to bring me 1 should have lo conic ?lu thc way lo Williston wo met Mr. Gunter. Ile asked me if 1 was going to leave thc country. I told him 1 did not want, to, bul these men lind nie handcuffed and 1 could not help it." Stone was next put Oil the stand, and he slated that he did not know il was unlaw ful lo arrest Blackwood as bo did; that sucli mode of arrest was common: that bc did not draw his pistol: and that Black wood came along voluntarily. McNally swore that Blackwood came of on his own free will and act ord, and rela ted the story of how a forged note was passed on him as published. Air. Hyams, ol' the Augusta Evening Neuss, swore that on the morning thal Blackwood reached Augusta ho said t<> bim he did not object to coming lo Augusta. Chief TwiggS and Lieut. Unod swore that Stone- told them In the presence of Blackwood that bo made no objection lo coming and Blackwood said nothing. The case was argued by Ma jor Gary for South Carolina and by Solicitor Wright for Georgia. The Court then adjourned lill Thursday. After hearing further argument on Thursday .Indee Roney rendered his decision. After stating in's views of thc comity between Slab s, he said: "Thc highest aim of a government is to protect its citizens. No person shall he de prived of life or liberty, except by due process of law. The question arises, shall a citizen of one State set aside the laws of extradition and go into another Slate und arrest a citizen without due process of law? "If the Courts of Georgia or any other State recognize this, it would set nt naught thc provisions of the Const I tu lion. If a criminal goes into another Slab-, the way lo get him is by a requisition, "Then the question Is brought lip as lo whether or not the arrest <?f Blackwood was according to lau : Was ho deprived of his liberty by due process of law? If sn, la should not bo remanded? bul if not so. bo should be. "The facts, as elicited by tim testimony, arc that when Blackwood was arrested it is conceded that at that time Stone ami Mc Nully were no! armed by due process of law. Tho question is whether or not Black wood was extradited. It is an unpleasant duty to pti. s upon fai ls, This man was not only not arrested by duo process of law, but was arrested illegally. The nflidavH of Mr. Allman is to the effect that he warned them they were rot making (he arrest in accordance With tho Jaw. Their reply was that they would take chalices, i Oin Obliged lo hold he did not come voluntarily, and shall therefore remand thc prisoner." Judge Roney afterwards issued an order that Blackwood bo delivered to the sheriff, to ls; by him taken lo South Carolina and there released and discharged from custody. Accordingly lute in thc afternoon Deputy Shcrlir Campbell look Blackwood to Sand Uar Ferry, where lie was released, hui was rearrested by Constables Spec? and Van dover, an ollleer from Augusta having gone over ahead and had a warrant for his arrest issued by Trial Justice Mason, of Leech Island.
