That is practically true as to its execution. for examp. should an officer take a hinaman to t State linetoday. he dil uofioubely follow tha officer hack to the city the first dark night. and make hi f eay to some poit inland where recognition and the facts of his recent arrival could not be substantiated. The arrest. confinement in Jail. and arraignnt before the commissioner furnishes themost ample opportunity for the stranger Chinaman to make all necessary arrangements through his friendly countrymen to be returned tn the United States the second time. and conducted to some interior town where our officers could not find him. if identification were possible.
