GAMELAW UPHELD
Decision of the State
Supreme Court.
Hides and Meat From Other States
Cannot Be Sold Here During
the Close Season.

The State Supreme Court rendered a
decision yesterday long looked for by
sportsmen anG long dreaded by dealers in
game and hides. The tribunal decided
that the provision of the State game law
prohibiting the sale of game whether pro-
cured within or without the State during
close seasons is constitutional.
Simon Maier of Los Angeles was ar
rested las. December for selling pound
of meat cut from the carcass of a deer
which he said came from Texas. He
promptly appealed to the Supreme Court
for a writ of habeas CORPUS on the ground
that his arrest was unlawful.
The Penal Code provides that every per-
son in the State Of California who shall at
any time sell or offer tor sale the hide
or meat of any deer. elk, antelope or
mountain sheep shall be guilty of misGe-
meanor. Maer cOntended that this pro-
vision of the statute properly construed
does not prohibit the sale Of deer meat
lawfully taken without the State, but has
reference solely to deer killed within the
State; that the law Is intended tn protect
game within the State, not to prohibit the
importation and sale of game from other
States.
with this contention" the court said,
I'VE are unable 10 agree. II is true the
within the State, but it by 40 means fol-
lows from that fact that it is not the in
teutiOn, as a means to accom- Dish that
very end, to prohibit the sale of the meat
of the animals procured elsewhere. The
statute is perfectly plain and IMAM biguous
in its terms. and is sufficiently broad and
comprehensive 10 include the inhibited
article wheresoever taken or procured.
"The law denOuDces as unlawful the sale
of meat of any deer, and we have no
doubt that the Legislature intended ex-
actly what its words import. Deer and
other game have been slaughtered during
the close season and fOisted upon the mar
ket as game procured outside the State,
and owing to the practical i'm possibility ia
the great majority of cases Of proving with
certainty the source from which il was
procured, the attempted enforcement of
the statutes for its protection has largely
proven abortive. These and like consid-
erations no doubt actuated the Legislature
in the premises, ana induced the enact
ment OF the statute in its present stringent
form. And we know of no gOOd reason
why it should not be held to mean what it
says"
Many authorities in other States and In
foreign countries were quoted in support
Of the decision. The court holds that the
wild game within a State belongs to the
people in their collective sovereign capa-
city, and they may, if they see fit, a bso-
luteIy prohibit the taking OF it or any
traffic or commerce in ii. if deemed neces-
sary for its protection or preservation, or
the public good.

William r. Melville. ex-cOlIection clerk
of the Bank of California, will soon put
on one of the striped suits which the State
provides for its erring children. He has
pleaded guilty to the charge of embezzle-
ment and VIII receive his sentence on Sat-
urGay.
There was a small crowd in Judge
Belcher's courtroom when the case was
called for trial yesterday owing to the su-
perior attraction in the Probate Court.
Melville. pale but cOmplacent, looked
carelessly around upon the curiosity-seek-
ers. "The case of The People against
William R. Melville, felony embezzle-
ment," was announced, and momentary
flush passed over the prisoners face.
1--WE plead guilty, your Honor" was the
reply, "but We would like to examine
some witnesses who will give testimony
as to the previous good character Of the
defendant. After that we ask your Honor
to impose sentence"
The privilege asked of the court was
granted, and the following citizens testi-
fed that they knew William r. Melville
and that he had borne q good reputation

Mckay, W. r. Smedberg. G. A. BertoD.

Melville's eyes gisteDed with gratitude
while his old friends testified in his behalf,
but what effect their praise of the de-
PENDANTS past career had upon the mind
OF the Judge is unknown. He declined to
pass sentence al once, saying that the mat
ter was too serious for haste. There are
other cases against the prisoner and they
will all be disposed of on Saturday. Then
the prisoner will be sentenced and will
pro badly be sent to San Quentin. Several
of those who testified in his favor pressed
his hand and spoke encouragingly to him
as he passed out of the courtroom.
Melville, while collection clerk Of the
bank, courted the society of men of means
and spent with lavish hand the money
that he stole. He was not vicious, but he
liked to dress well and live luXuriouslv.
No one suspected him Of dishonesty prior
to his disappearance some time ago. Then
his books were examined and 1t was found
that he was short in his accounts.
Melville was traced from this city to
Carlin, New, where he was arrested on
Saturday, July 21. He was brought TO
this city and charged with embeZzlemeDt
On the first day of his incarceration he
astOniShed his captoTs and accusers hv
confessing that be stolen not only the S2318
with which ne was charged, but sums
amounting to S34. 00O He had, he admitted,
begun TO steal shortly after he was first
employed by the bank, thirteen years ago.
