Excerpt from Argument of Hon. Aaron F. PerryThe petition further relates, not that the arrest was made without probable cause, or without a warrant, or without a charge supported by oath or affirmation, but in effect, that all three of these things did not exist together. It was, it is alleged, without any warrant issued upon probable cause sup ported by oath or affirmation, and in contempt of his rights as an American citizen. And this is the only part of the affidavit which goes to charge the arrest as illegal. It is stated, in an other part of the petition, that petitioner is not, under the Con stitution, amenable to be tried by a military commission, but unless the seizure in contempt of his rights is equivalent to an allegation that the arrest was illegal, there is no allegation Of illegality.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
