THE STOKES DECISION.
A profound impression is created
through the cily by the Court of Appeals
decision, as everybody supposed that a re-
fusual to grant Stokes new trial was a
foregone conclusion. Stokes has steadily
maintained that new trial would be
granted him, and verdict Of acquittal f.
nally secured.
GERMAN MEETING.
Last night meeting of the fOnrth. fifth,
sixth and seventh sections of the United
German American Society was held in the
German Assembly rooms. The object of
the society is to take care of German in
terests, and to establish closer union be-
tons relating to political. social and relig-
ious life. About five hundred members

EXCLUSION OF coLoRED MEN FROM
THEATRES.
Counsel for Lester Wallack have put in
their answer to suits brought by several
colored men who were excluded from his
theatre. 1t takes the ground that the es-
tablishmeut is conducted as a private bus
mess, and that the proprietor had right
to sell tickets or refuse them at his discre-
ton, or to revoke them after they were
sold. That tickets in the cases in question
were sold to colored men under the suppo-
sition that they were buying for others,
and that they pere not excluded on account
of color. Wallack declines to swear to
the answer and the counsel for the col
ored men will not accept the answer until
verified
QUICK DECISION IN THE STOKES CASE.
The Stokes case has been decided more
swiftly than any murder case on record
which was taken to the general term of the
Supreme Court on writ of error and GER
tiorari and then to the Court of Appeals.
There is usually long interval, sometimes
twelve months elapsing between the deci-
sion of the general term and decision in the
Court of Appeals. In the Stokes case only
a few weeks have elapsed. This was due
in the first place to the action of the pris-
Oner's counsel in waving the form of re-
sentence to the general term of the Supreme
Court, and accepting certificate Of error
from the Judges of the latter, by which
they could carry the case into the Court of
Appeals Immediately In the second place,
law passed by the last Legislature placed
homicide cases first on the calendar of the
Court of Appeals, and cases of murder in
the first degree first of all. The prisoner
himself was anxious that his case should be
pushed to test at the earliest possible op-
portunty.

noon by Judge Benedict to five years i'm
prisonment for presenting fraudulent bail
