several counts Of tie indictments, could
not, in the aggregate, exceed the high
est term allowed by the laS
for official neglect, namely one year.
Hence the lower court exhausted its
jurisdiction In pronouncihg the first
sentence Of one years imprisonment
and $3.50 fine, all the others being void
ab initio. To validate these several
sentences, 1t would have been neces-
sary to accord the accused so many
successive trials, on each Of which he
would have his peremptory challenges
of Jurors, and other legal privileges.
In an interview on the subject, Chief
Justice Sanford E. Church stated the
court and lawyers had ransacked the
jurisprudence Of this country and
England for a precedent to Judge Da-
Wis action, and he entered into the
possible results if it we're approved:
Looking at this question" said he,
1.-The court had to consider the interests
and.the rights Of every htigant in all
our courts, high and low. 1t was not
a question here whether Tweed should
be punished, much as he undoubtedly
deserved punishment; 1t was a ques-
ton of pure Law and of the rights IN
der the law Of all our people. As for
Tweed, suppose, as a citizen, mot ex-
pressing myself as judge, that he is
certain TO get his punishment, because
he Is certain Of rearrest, and the most
persistent pursuit by the best legal
talent In the peoples interest. AS
for the people, We had to consider
the very serious question whether, if a
precedent was established to that effect
IN Tweed's case, any man, any citizen
or villager, could be arraigned before a
common or a Justices Court, and tried
atone time before single Jury or single
man upon several different counts In a
single indictment, and convicted and
sentenced not according to the one in
dictment only, but upon the several
counts" Judge Church next dis
coursed upon the exaggerated justice
and injustice that might be wrought by
the fixing Of such a precedent: The
Court on all grounds regarded the
power Of fixing 1t as at once illegal and
dangerous.
Chas. O'Conor, being asked con-
corning the effect of this release on
Tweed's future, replied that he had no
apprehensions on that score; he had
not been set at liberty, and would not
be; the Sheriff had orders to bold him
until he had given bail to the amount
of S3,0O0,000 under indictments al
ready pending against him, and it
would be very easy to duplicate that
amount by an order for IS, OOO 600 more
bail. Tweed was already under indict-
ments charging him with much more
serious offenses than those for which
he was previously under sentence. He
had been sent to Blackwell's Island on
conviction of the charge of misde.
meanoTs only; he was now under in
dictment on the charge of felony, the
penalty for which, in the event of con-
victioD, would be a sentence to the
State Prison.
