Albany nt the Ten Kyck Hotel, about
three blocks from the Capitol -and asked
"his attorneya" to produce him In Hie
llxeciitlvo Chamber.
"We represent the Slate of Illinois
and no one else," said Mr Marshall.
"1 simply want our Hxcellency lo
know," said Mr. Grossman, "that A.
Leo Well la hero and that I am not
allow i-d to question him."
Mr. Orossman pointed out that there
have been no Indictments found ngalnst
Hlddlnger In Illinois. The extradition
was requested on three warrants, al
though ll has been stated that there are
forty-eight other charges against Hld
illnger In Illinois. The fllst charge. Mr.
Grossman said, was niade by Henjamln
J.eeman, who alleged that Hlddlnger was
guilty of larceny In November, lfus.
Hlddlnger was alleged to have Jostled
tine William Qulnn while lnnan took
from him 5fl and a pocketbook, This
was said to have taken place on the
occasion nf a prize fight, which Mr

before the lime set in the affidavit.
