THE MERE Possession or CouNTFRFFtr
MONEY NO PROOF OF GUILr.-Generai VIM
u. Msnk, ex-custom-house inspector, was
convicted In June last OF having possession
OF counterfeit money representing 500. IL
was proved on the trial that Detective Por-
Ter, by representing himself 20 Mank as a
friend OF Thomas Congdon, a oounterfeiter
awaiting trial, obtained from Mank al 500
which ne had In trust from Congdon, paying
him 500 for the stuff. The detective pro-
missed 10 destroy ~, so that IL could not be
used on Congdon's trial. Judge Dittenhoe-
Ter, Marks counsel, I'm summing up askef
Judge Benedict TO charge that las the intent
10 defraud Is an essential Ingredient of
crime, the jury might acquit IL they believed
the intent was not proved" Judge Renedtct
declined so To charge, and the Jury convicted
Mank. Counsel moved for q new trial ON
the ground that the mere naked possession
OF counterfeits without intention 10 defraud
IL no o1ence u-der the statute. Moreoyer
tne counterfeit stuff was marked "Thomas
Congdon" and Evidence in Thomas Cong
dons case" and thus IL lost its currency as a
successful counterfeit Judge Benedict re-
served his decision ~ the time, but yester-
Day he expressed doubt as 20 the Justice of
his exclusion from the jury of the question
OF intent, and granted Mank a new trial
