Hl #as delivered up and state of Mhlllesota, and confined in the jail, 12, 1892" a:n allegation that an indict-
,525 ment stood against him in the county of Washington, state of Minnesota, found by the grand jury, May 6, A. D. 1890, charging the crime of obtaining by false pretenses a promissory note and chattel mortgage from one John Alfred Roney. On May 5, A. D. 1892, while awaiting trial, an indictment was found against him for. the same offense of defrauding Roney, evidently to correct asupposed defect in the first i11dictmellt. The grand jury also found an indictment against him for anotber and different crime from that on which he was extradited. On an arraignment under this indictment the prisoner refused to plead,and on plea of not guilty being entered he was tried May 16, 1892, and convicted, and a motion was made. and is now pending, in the state ,court in arrest of and to set aside this judgment. The petition for a writ of habeas corpus to secure the prisoner's release alleges that he is not final judgment or decree of any competent detained by reason of tribunal of civil or crimii.lal jurisdiction, or by virtue of an execution issued upon such judgment or decree. It is urged that the district court of Washington county had no jurisdiction, and cannot lawfully put the prisoner upon trial for an offense for which he was not extra,Upon face of the petitipn and answer of the sheriff of,Washington cO)lnty to the "order to show cause why a writ of habeas corpus should, not. issue, II it appears clearly that the petitioner is in custody and lawfully held by virtue of criminal proceedingsdu1y instituted unof the state of Minnesota; but while this is conceded, as I der the understand counsel, ,yet it is insisted that having been put upon his trial on an indictment charging another and different offense from that for which he was extradited, and judgJ:I;lent of conviction being entered, this court should declare such judgmel1t illegal and void, for the reason that the state Qf Minnesota had no right to try the petitioner extrlldited from another state upon a charge other than that contained in the extradition papers. If this position of counsel is sound, the federal courts have supervisory jurisdiction overjudgments of the state criminal courts, although su.ch courts had jurisdiction of the person anq. of the offense, ·and thus can accomplish by the writ of habeas corpus all that ptherwise could only be obtained on review by writ of error or appeal to the supreme court of the state, which undoubtedly has plenary jurisdiction to .correcte,rrors of the trial court. The circuit courts of the United States, in my opinion, do not possess such supervisory jurisdiction. It would be an afleGtation of learning, and serve, no useful purpose, to do more than cite counsel to the case Of Ex parte Ulrich, 43 Fed. Rep. 661, for .afq.ll a,nd .exhaustive exposition of the law involved in this case. Ap,plication for a writ of habeas corpus is denied.
