Major C. L. Fay's Arrest.
PORTLAND." Au;r. 20T fTo'the Editors-
It Is now six dayB since Major Fay's Il
legal arrest took- place and- he-Is still held
at XHiKota pending the result of a pre
liminary' trial which is unconstitutional.
Under tho ConMitutlon of tho United
States it is Illegal to try sjjiy person out
of the etate where the allcgcu crime has
been committed. Article 3 Section 2. of
our Constitution, is as' follows: "The trial
of all crimes1 shrill be'rioUtln the state
where said crimes' shall have been 'coiri
mltted."' ' Everybody ' knows that Major
Fay' had not visited Wisconsin for the
past 10 years; so could not havo commit
ted -a crime there. '
If :ofllcefo, whether executlvo or other
wise, fairto know the- standing of a' citi
zen In a community like this, they arc
riot competent officials being Ignorant bl
this it is "per sef worsV'than" 'designing
fraud. If the bfllcers did knbw the
standing :Of Major Fajv arid yet suffered
him (or aided and abetted In tho act) to
be kidnaped -out of : this 'state',-"then" the
matter should bo thoroughly Investigated
that the public may know what induced
the action of their officiate on that oc
casion. Major Fay was arrested, it Is stated, at
6 o'clock Saturday evening last, and
kept at the Police Station for three hours
at a time--and day wnen nttornoys, etc.,
were on their way to seaside re
sorts, and this unfortunato man
left without legal advice and
then hurried off .by boat Instead of
train next morning, or at H:20 that night.
thereby giving his friends a chance to
hunt up some lawyer. -
To sav the least of It there was undue
and absolutely unnecessary " haste' shown
by the police officials who should know
the law above referred to and act in a
Constitutional manner. Major Fay was
treated worse man any muraerer I ever
heard of. I "have known Mr. Fay for the
past five years and can testify to his high
standing in the community he Js a man
of Integrity, a man whoso word was
never doubted, he was in the fullest sense
a man one - whose smile gave" cheer. He
was always rea"dy to "take the part of
the "under dog." '
If the Police Commissioner had been
consulted Major Fay would never have
been removed from the .?tate without, at
least, a preliminary hearing. The com
munlty Is not rife with such police of
ficials as scroti Jn this unwarrantable
manner, and they are nd worse than our
lazy Governor, who is supposed to know
the law; and who promised not to act so
hastily In thla instance when advised ny
Judge Pipe that "those sharks from Wis
consin may try to kidnap Major Fay.
who is beyond a reasonable doubt not
guilty of such a charge as that of ob
taining' money under false pretenses."
The very fact of this charge not having
; been preferred cfnee 1900 ought to be suf-
flclent grounds for the refusal of legal
documents issued by our Governor, who
never was a friend of Portland. OI
couise Mr. Fay can, whether guilty or n
bring an action for false arrest and, im
prisonment In "another state tfgaftist the
parties concerned in his arrest; butthet
maj be men of straw.
If this matter goes without investiga
tion by our citizen?, then some day they
may suffer like treatment, as nobody can
cpnsldef himself "safe inthe'hands of such
officials. A spiteful ' enemy without
means can put citizens like Mr. Fay to
trouble" "and 'heavy expenses, and -that
with impunity, too. J. CREAGH.
