Omission of the words "or be punished" from
the provision of article 3 of the extradition
treaty with Great Britain of July 12, 1889 (26
former conviction for any offense of a person
Stat. 1508), does not justify imprisonment on
extradited from Canada for an offense against
the United States until he has had opportunity
to return from Canada in view of positive pro-
visions of Rev. St. U. S. §§ 5272, 5275 [U. S.

of a person convicted of crime therein.-In re
Moran, 25

Disobeying law, governing selecting of grand
jurors, does not affect jurisdiction of court
so as to justify release on habeas corpus of
one convicted on indictment found by such jury.
-In re Moran, 25.

Compelling accused to stand up and walk
before the jury even if contrary to Const.
U. S. Amend. 5, does not affect the jurisdiction
of court so as to justify relief by habeas
corpus. In re Moran, 25.

A person held in custody by a state for trial
in one of its courts under an indictment for a
crime against its laws will not be released on
habeas corpus by a federal court because meth-
ods to secure his presence may have violated
Const. U. S. art. 4, § 2, or Rev. St. U. S. § 5278
[U. S. Comp. St. 1901, p. 3597], relating to
