nor Jeff Davis yesterday flatly
refused to issue requisition pa
pers for William H. Lett, now
being held by New York detec
tives, charged with shortage of

Charles S. Stifft in Argenta.
The failure of Mr. Stifft, to
deposit $100 to defray the ex
penses of Deputies Chichester
and Stiel, who were to go to New
York after the prisoner, is given
as the basis of the governor’s
action. Charles Jacobson, secre

fund in the state for this pur

entirely discretionary with Gov
ernor Davis.
