doubt as to the meaning of the word
infamous" in the first clause of Article
V. of the amendments to the Collstitu-
ton: Mcpherson shall be held to an
swer for capital Or otherwise infamous
crime, unless on = preseatment or in
dictment of grand jusy." Recently
an opinion was given by the Supreme
Court on thi, point, which, stripped of
its yerbiage, seemed to decide that ON
infamous crime was ono punished by
imprisonment. Not feeling satisfied
with this Interpretation, District Attor-
ney Bliss yesterday asked Judge Treat
to define the Supreme Courts defini-
ton. The Judge gave his personal
opinion from the bench tina. it was not
the intention of the Justices to define
rs infamous infractions Of the law
those offenses which are punished by
fines and short terms ef imprisonment.
His idea was those crimes were infa-
nous which might be classel in COM
mon law as felonies, or tho punishment
for which is the same Us that prescribed
for felonies. 1t was deemed unjust to
put upon man who has simply DISC
beyed law through neglect and care
lessness the odium Of the classification
Of his oflense with infamous crimes,
though his punishment might be i'm
prisonment.
