IT'S AGAINST M'KANE.
General Term Refuses to Grant
Him q New Trial
It Is Held that the Charges Were
Fully Proven.
Objections to Two Grand Juries
Overruled.

NC KANE.
John Y. MsKane's chances OF getting
cut Of Sing Sing. fell with thud this
morning. when the General Term of the
Second Department of the Supreme
Court, handed down an exceedingly long
opinion affirming the ex-Czars convic-
ton.
McKane was sentenced by Justice Bart
lett to a six-years' term in February
last on the charge OF wilful refusal and
wilful neglect of the election inspectors
Of Gravesend to keep the registry lists
accessible to the Gaynor copyists. Nc
Kane procuring and aiding them in SO
doing.
Justice Landon in writing the decision
Of the General Derm. first goes at length
into the history of the crime.
He then says that Gov. Flowers ac-
ton in ordering an extraordinary ses-
sion of the Grand Jury and Court of
Oyer and Terminer meant an extraor-
binary term of the oyer and Terminer
and that the proceeding was regular
and legal.
He says the objection that two Grand
Juries were in session in the same couis
ty at the same time did not have any
legal weight, as the statutes bear out.
Code takes the meat out of the oher-
ton that McKane oould not commit the
crime charged in the indictment. as II
could only be committed by the election
officials, and that McKane was not, an
election official The General Term ,islds
that because McKane aided the inspec-
tors he was guilty.
McKane's lawyers, in asking that the
verdict OF the trial court be set aside,
made the argument that because three
copies OF the registry lists had not been
made three copies could not be sup
pressed as called for by the law.
Judge London tersely says that, the
best method of suppression of the lists
was not to make any.
The Court holds the crime was con-
cisely stated in the indictment. not
McKane held that as soon as the lists
had been made up the law had been
complied with. The Court says publicity
was necessary.
Judge Landon then goes into a long
discussion as to technicalities concern
ing the admission of evidence by Justice
Bartlett.
The Court holds that II a conspiracy
existed Judge Bartlett did right In ad-
hitting enough evidence to bring that
fact out clearly.
He then gives an outline of PROPOSE
tions of fact, which go to show that a
conspiracy did exist.
Judge Bartlett's charge to the jury is
upheld.
The evidence introduced relative to
the converse ton between Mr.. Mayer,
one of Judge Gaynor's former law
partners, and McKane is admitted.
The court holds that the verdict was
clearly supported by the evidence.
