Atlanta, (la., Keb. 1.—Messrs.
Gaynor and Greene, two of the most
noted’ Inmates of the big federal
prison here, will be released from
that institution within a few dayttw.
nder the good behavior rule their
sentence of four years was cut down
to three years and one month, which
period will expire next week. The
exact day of their leaving the prison
has been kept secret, owing to the
desire or the prisoners to avoid pub-
licity. 1 !u * will he met at the prison
gali l>y the members of their I'1411-
ilies, who have resided in Atlanta the
most of tile time sinre Gaynor and
Greene began serving their sentences
According to popular belief both
prisoners have managed to retain a
considerable part of their 1/irge for-
tunes and it is rumored that a long
sojourn in Europe will follow their
release.
It is doubtful if any case of its
kind in the history of the country
has attracted more attention than
that of John F. Gaynor and Benja-
min D. Greene, chiefly 1 tec a use of the
long legal battle they waged to es-
cape trial. Their troubles began In
December, 1900, when both were in-
dicted by a grand jury ill Favannah,
of having defrauded the government
conspiracy with Captain Oborlin
( arter, of the United States engi-
neer 1 orps. it had been demonstrat
ed that Carter for years had con-
spired with the Atlantic Construction
Company*, of which Clay nor ami
reene were the chief, partners, to
the end that only this,Company could
hid for the work of river arid har-
bor improvements around Savannah;
that. Carter drew specifications that
only the Atlantic people could meet
en time and that in this and other
ways the government was defrauded
of about $2,000,000.
Carter was convicted and sentenc-
ed to prison and to pay a fine. Gay-
nor and Greene, being arrested in
•New York, began to contest extradi-
tion to Georgia. They carried the
case finally to the supreme court,
which decided against them; and oh
the ete of their being taken to Geor-
gia ihey fled, leaving their bondsmen
to forfeit altogether the sum of
$80,000. on May ]j. 1902, they
turned up at. he Chateau Frontenac;
Quebec. Proceedings for their extra-
ction were at once begun. The Ca-
nadian officers, fearing delay, ar-
rested them and took them by boat
to Montreal. The prisoners' lawyer
tried to stop the tug and serve writs
of habeas corpus, but they failed.
With the prisoners confined in
Montreal there was a repetition of
the old struggle between the courts.
The Quebec courts wanted the men
hack there, whereas Extradition Com-
missioner LaFontalne wished to
hear tho case against them in
Montreal, f inally the Quebec judge
scored and they were returned to
that city. On Aug. 1 ;i, 1902, .Judge
( aron dismissed all charges against
the prisoners. a decision which
aroused, a storm of protest from
the press in both Canada and the
United States. The United States
government then appealed to the
English privy council which decided
against Gaynor and Greene. The
men then applied for a writ of ha-
beas corpus, which was denied.
Following their return to Savan-
nah, Gaynor and Greene, who al-
ready had spent over $750,000 in
their defence, appealed to the Su-
premo court, of the United States on
technicality, but they again h;st
Senators Perkins and Carter ^id-
dressed the following letter to the
senate of Texas through its presid-
ing olllcer, Lieut. Gov. Davidson:
To Hon. A. B. Davidson, President
of the Senate......'In view of what h;iR
happened upon the floor within the
past few days we crave the indul-
gence of tlie senate for a few brief
moments. In the heat of debate, and
through the clash of political ambi
Hens, we have been led to do and
say things that in our .calm-and de-
liberate moments we would have left
undone and unsaid. This is true of
ourselves, who, like the Publican of
sacred writ, are willing to confess
our sins. If tho modern Pharisee sees
fit to follow the lead of his ancient
and biblical brother that's the mod-
ern Pharisee's business.
Our records in this honorable
body are ( peri honks, known and
read of all men. We have voted and
worked for every measure anvocated
by the prohibitionists of Texas, and
here and now declare our intentions
of continuing ibis policy during the
remainder of our term of office.
In view, of all this and other mat-
ters that have gone before, Mr. Pres-
ident. we here and now request that
this president of this senate ignore
use entirely in the making up of the
re-apportionment committees. Fur-
