'I ' * Requisition For Leas Honored TO FIGHT RFT1RN WITH HA BBA8 OOKPU8 Co?. McAHster, ' of Tmwee, CoKUen Uw Fugitives Pram Justice From North Carolina Givcu 124 Hoots To Perfect Ha beas CorRH? Proceeding*. Sfashville, Tenit., Feb. 7. ? The Luke Leas ot Nashville, father and son, late today moved an other step nearer payment In l prison terms or a fine for their conviction on a charge of con spiracy to defraud an AAshevllle, K. C., bank of $1,300.00. Got. Hill McAlister granted extradition of the Leas to North Carolina authorities, thus remov ing one more of a long line of legal technicalities by which the Nashville newspaper publishers have eraded the mandate of a North Carolina circuit court for nearly two years. In announcing his decision to grant North Carolina's requisition for custody of the Leas, Goy. McAlister said he would allow the defendants 24 hours after ar r3st in which to file habeas cor ;jus proceedings in a- final effort t3 escape their sentences. Both Fugitives. "There is no escaping the con clusion," Got McAlister said in his statement recognising the requisition, "that each of these defendants is, as a matter of fact a fugitive from Justice from North Carolina." Col. Lea was sentenced to from S-to-10 rears in State Prison at ' Raleigh. N. C-. and his son was given choice of a 2-to-6-year sen tence or payment ot $25,000 to tal fine and costs. Wallace B. Davis, president of the Central Bank and 'frost Company of Ashevllle, the iaaUtalien alleged ly victimised, was convicted Joint ly with the Nashville financiers and already Is serving sentence. - Col. Lea aad his son. Lake, Jr., have been missing from their home here for more than 1| days. Today they were authoritatively reported staying In strict seclu sion at the home of James Blaine Reagan, attorney, at Jamestown. Tenn, high In the mountains in the northeastern part of this state. It was noted, however, that at the moment the extradition was granted today, L. E. Gwinn. coun sel for the Leas, said that he did not know where his clients were. McAlister Decision The governor's decision was re vealed only after newspapermen had read most of a 2, 090-word document issued In lieu of an oral announcement. It said in Wt: . "In my opinion, from careful examination of the rather lengthy record presented to me. It la evi dent that the reqalsltloa of the Oovernor of North Carolina . . . in all respects compiles with the statutes of Tennessee and with the Constitution of the United States. , "I therefor*, recognise the requisition bf 'the Oovernor of North Caroliak and request the Attorney , General Of Tennessee to prepare the warrant by the code for my signature. "There Is no escaping from the conclusion that each of these de fendants la, as a matter of fact, a fugitive from justice from North aarollwi." Thus closed another chapter of the long legal battl* waged by the defendants, whfch, starting from the Buncombe county cir cuit court, went after successive delays to the North Carolina su* preme court back to the circuit ;fourt on an appeal for a new trial, hack to the state aupreme court, on an appeal from the re fusal of a new trial and then to the United States Supreme Court. The extradition today ^waA only > another before the egpeeted ha ' bees corpus proceedings. Col. Lea, a former United States Senator, 'won his title lit the World- War In which he be Tl.
