A remarkable illustration of the difficulty Of
SO framing statutes that ingenious lawyers can
not pick them to pieces is contained in the de-
cision just rendered by Judge Benedict, of the
Eastern District of New York, in the case of
John B. Adatte, charged with counterteitlng
fractional currency. Adatte was tried some
time ago, and convicted, but obtained q new
trial because of the exclusion of a witness in
his favor. On the second trial he was again
convicted, under that section OF the statute OF
1864 which makes it crime TO have in ones
possession plates of United States notes
without the authority Of the proper officials
A motion was made in arrest Of judgment on
the ground that the statute had reference only
to the possession of the genuine plates, which
Adatte's confessedly were not, and the Judge
sustained the motion and set the prisoner at
liberty Bait. Commercial. liz.

A CURIOUS SUT.-The Wilmington tDel.)
Commercial contains the following report OF

A CURIOUS SUT.-The Wilmington tDeL)
Commercial contains the following report OF a
trial in that city:
A case around which clusters much roman
ne interest has been before the court at New
Castle for several days, and alter long argu-
ments by counsel, was given to the jury on Sat
urdav evening. 1t is an action for ejectment
brought by James and Martha Jane Frisbee
AGAINST Western johnson. All the principals
in the case are colored people, and the verdict
depends on the validity of marriage said to
have taken place AZ years ago.
The allegations which the plaintiffs attempt
to make good are In effect as follows:
Severn johnson, son Of Isaac johnson, was
born at Snow Hill, Worcester county, Mary
land. In 1921 he married Hetty j. Stevens,
the service being duly performed in lawful
manner by Rev. VIM. B. Balch, pastor of the
Presbyterian Church at Snow Hill. One child
was born OF the marriage at Snow Hill, named
Martha Jane johnson, since married and now
being named Martha Jane Frisbee, and she and
her husband being the plat ntiffs in the case.
The plaintiffs further allege that soon after
the birth of this child her parents removed
TO Baltimore, in which city Severn johnson
wards married Frances Holland, by whom
he had several children. Subsequently with
his second family he removed to this city and
took up his permanent residence here with
with them. He acquired here q property at
the foot of Ninth street, which has since be-
come very valuable. In 1S64-'5 he died, leav-
ing his property in tho possession of his chill
dren by his second wife, by one OF whom,
Western johnson, the defendant in this case,
it is still held. The facts sought to be proved
run through period of fifty years.
The plaintiffs offer in proof of the marriage
the deposition OF Parson Balch, as he is called
by all the old witnesses, taken at his residence
in Prince William county, Va. He states that
he is seventy five years old, and was pastor OF
the Snow Hill Presbyterian Church from 1919
to 1929, that he recollects distinctly having
married Severn johnson and Hetty j. Stevens
about the year 1921. He describes the appear
ance of the groom, and mentions an incident at
the wedding
The defense denied, first, that the alleged
marriage had ever taken place; second, that If
it had, Martha Jane Frisbee was not born In
lawful wedlock. Mr.. Bayard attempted to dis
credit the evidence of Rev. Mr.. Balch, on the
ground of extreme age and forgetfuness.
The jury was out until y o'clock Saturday
night, and then reported themselves unable to
agree, and were discharged.
