Lincoln Extradition Plea Brief Filed in Lincoln Case
Counsel for the British consul general filed with the supreme court a brief demanding the extradition of Ignatius T. T. Lincoln from the United States to England on a forgery charge. Lincoln, a confessed German spy and former member of parliament, had escaped custody in New York after arrest and contested habeas corpus before appealing to the supreme court where oral arguments are set for Monday. The brief argues the British government seeks Lincoln for a political offense and notes the treaty prohibits trying or punishing political crimes or offenses by either nation, implying Britain would violate the treaty if Lincoln is charged politically.
