Some eight years ago a man named Chas.
Stafford was convicted in the Erie county Court
of brutally outraging Miss Wood, and was
sentenced to the penitentiary for 20 years. but a
man named Moore, who died few days ago,
acknowledged that his testimony, upon which
Stafford was convicted was false and that he
had been hired to do it. Two other witnesses
in the case have acknowledged the same thing
and it is more than likely that Stafford will now
be released.
"A bill has been introduced in our State
Legislature to prohibit dealing in futures"
whether in stocks, bonds, securities, grain,
food, provisions, cotton, sugar, oil or any
other article of merchandise, and it declares
all such contracts null and void and provides
for the recovery of the money paid. Sales
for future delivery are now recognized as
centres and are considered safeguard to
legitimate business, but this putting up of
margins" and buying, not the article itself.
but the control of it for an indefinite time,
short or long. as the market goes up or
down, is gambling, and if the Legislature can
put stop TO it, it ought to do 1t.
BY an act OF Assembly approved in April,
1872, it was made unlawful to transfer or me-
gotiate note given for patent right, unless
the words ''given for patent right" were on
the note but the Supreme Court Of the State
is said to have lately declared this act unconsti-
tutional on the ground that the national gov
eminent alone has control OF the patent right
business. A man named Forsythe. Of this
county, had q man named Mckee OF Allegheny
county, arrested last Saturday for transferring
q note given by Forsythe to Mckee for the
right of using q patent blind fixture in this
county. Mckee plead ignorance Of the law and
gave bail for Court. The act still stands ON the
book, and IL seems to us that all acts Of the As
sembly should be passed upon by the Supreme
Court before they ara put in the book.
