Mr.. HOUSE RAISES A POINT.
Says a Man Cannot Commit Two
Crimes at the Same Moment.

Says a Man CannO Commit Two
Crimes at the Same Moment.
Lawyer Fred House. Of the firm OF
Friend & House, entered a demurrer to-
day before Judge Cowing in the case OF
Policeman Larkin, who Is under indict-
ment for extortion and bribery. Similar
cases are pending against Policemen
Kenney n Downes. and whatever the
decision In the Larkin case may be 1t
win be accepted for the others.
The particular offense against Larkin
is that on Nov. "a. 1893 he extorted 81
from a licensed push cart peddler named
Goldberg. in return for which he guar
anteed him protection while he was
selling his wares on the poticeman's
beat. The Indictment also accuses Lar
kin OF having accepted a bride from
Goldberg.
The point which Mr.. House raised was
a most novel one. n the decision Of
the Court will establish a precedent.
Mr.. House claimed that SO long as the
alleged extortion and bribery were com
mitted at the same moment, they did
not form separate transactions and
that therefore the accused could not be
legally held. Judge Cowing was puzzled
and so was Assistant District-Attorney
Lindsay. Mr.. HOUSE could not cite any
authority and neither could Judge Cow
Ing or Mr.. Lindsay recall a parallel,
II was agreed that Mr.. Lindsay and
Mr.. House should ave until Monday to
prepare briefs.

diminish our cash resources. ON the
contrary, as United States and Treasury
notes are given in exchange for the
gold. each withdraw adds so much to
