ment, and taking it up read from the
GLOBE. He particularly referred to the at
torney's declaration that tsthe crime was not
against st. Paul in particular, but against
the whole commonwealth. . just 80, remarked
the counsel, it is an ofense against society,
and if any part of society offended seeks to
and does impose punishment in the law, this
action is final for the single act of the Of
fender. st. Paul has done this in it's
derived power from the State; deriv-
ing its power and passing an
ordinance in consonanoe Herewith the city Of
st. Paulwas then only part of the sovereign
ty of the State of Minnesota. Mr.. Masterson
further quoted from the GLoBE'g report of
County Attorney Rogers' argument the
only report published by any paper in the
city-and declared his stand was not good
in law or fact. 9#ai \,
In conclusion Mr.. Masterson urged that
the points of law involved were of such a
character that the ends of Justice would
DO best subserved by certifying these
cases to the supreme court. The questions
involved were such as should be finally de-
cided for the benefit of the public, and which
had not been reached in similar case, that
of Mary Robinson, SO certified years ago.
This matter had been allowed to rest, would
never be moved in court, because Mrs. Rob-
inson had quit the business and her virtuous
service in contributions to charities had been
| of such character that proceedings against
her were stopped. As in that case SO in
these, the same questions we're involved, and
a decision thereon was of Importance. This
could doubtless be reached by October, and
the defendants, if the law so adjudged, could
then 60 to trial. At any rate, in view of the
Importance of all questions involved, counsel
thought the ends of Justice would be best at
tanned by certifying these cases to the su-
| nrama court.

Mr.. Rogers Reply.

In reply Mr.. Rogers repeated in effect the
line of argument adopted by him in his ad-
dress last Saturday. He commended the as
sumption taken then was right in principle
and statute. The offense charged was one
against two Jurisdictions, and was punish
able under either, or both. He then ad
dressed himself to controvert the opposing
counsel's introduction of the question of
different sovereignties. He held
that the question of sovereignty
wasn't involved, but that of jurisdiction, pure
and simple. Mr.. Rogers reviewed in detail
the points presented by opposing counsel,
quoted from the books, and in effect claimed
that conviction under one jurisdiction was
not bar to trial under another, when
either one was circumscribed or limited by
delegated authority of control. He main
tanned that this view was sustained by law,
and commended that his opponents had par
TALLY reasoned to that extent. so much so that
the only logical conclusion from their argu-
ment was that they agreed with him.
In conclusion Mr.. Rogers claimed that his
opponents had, aside from their appeals to
the equity side of the court, as it
we're, made but one point, that
of different sovereignties. This he claimed
was not introduced rightly in law or argu-
ment and could not hold in the law-two
jurisdictions were involved, nothing more,
and clash of sovereignties did not arise.
In other words, Mr.. Rogers claimed that the
Henrietta Charles case has decided the mat
ter. and under that this court could take nc
action, other than to judge that the pleas in
bar were not good in law.
Following Mr.. Rogers, Mr.. Erwin and Mr..
Masterson both made few explanatory re:
marks regarding certain statements.
TAKEN UNDER AMUSEMENT.
The court stated that he thought the case
so important that he would take time t
consider it. There was something SO differ
ent between the sovereignties and the actio,
of two jurisdictions within one sovereignt,
that he thought some time should be give1
to consideration of the subject. f3a
Mr.. Rogers asked if decision would b,
given in the points at issue.
The court intimated as much.
Mr.. Masterson observed that a decisio,
need not necessarily be reached. The cas-
could be certified up on the grounds of tn
difficulty of coming to a conclusion.
The court was under the impression
that the supreme court declined to enter
tain snch cases unless q decision wer
reached by the lower court.
This terminated the business, and th
court adjourned.
It is alleged that some $4,000 have bee
paid into the city from this source. Thi
amount is what the lawyers for the defens
say they will try to recover if punishment
a, to be inflicted under the State law.
