W. N. Willis. FIGHT AGAINST EXTRADITION. DECLARES HE IS INNOCENT. Melbourne, July 26. William Nicholas Willis, who has been brought from Durban to answer a charge at Sydney of conspiracy in connection with dealings in laud, declined to be interviewed here, but has supplied a statement to the press. The communication is chiefly a recount of the details of his fight in South Africa against extradition. The reason he opposed extradition was that he was an innocent man. He says he was traduced and slandered by Parliament and Ministry. He was arrested, and cowardly and cruelly thrust into a Kaffir prison, though he was charged with a crime which they knew was a trivial and political one. Willis remarks that “when he gets close to his detractors he will dash the brains out of some of them.”
