battery should be kept in operation by
means of small windmill placed on the

BAD FOR WALBAuM.
Cases of the big -Four" Go h

Judges OF the Court Of Sessions
Could Not Agree.
Two Wanted to Fine the Sports,
Two Favored Imprisonment.

The cases OF ex-County Clerk Dennis
Mclaughlin. Iohn C. Carr. Gottfried
Walbaum and Nicholas Crusius. who
pleaded guilty in the Hudson County
Court OF Sessions of conducting n dis
orderly house at the Gutenberg race
track will go to the Supreme Court for
decision.
Judges Lippincott. Kenny IIudspeth
and Hoffman, before whom the cases
were pleaded. to-day announced that
they could not agree as to what punish
ment should be meted out to the de-
PENDANTS.
The courtroom was crowded this
morning by a throng of politicians and
race-track followers. to hear what the
sentence upon the self-confessed law
breakers would be. More than a week
ago Judge Lipplncott announced that
sentence would be passed at IL o'clock
to-day.
After delay of nearly two hours.
the four judges filed out of their pri-
vate room. They had been in consulta-
ton for that time. but. according to
Presiding Judge ILppincott's statement.
the judges had not, and never could,
agree unon disposition OF the case.
lie DTlSOllbTS were called 10 the OAR,
and Judge Lippincott said: II will not
go into detail over the case, for the pub
lie know the details as well as we. We
consider II very important. but regret
to say that we cannot agree upon a SEN
tence. During our discussion we found
a point of law that could not be salts
factorily disposed of. That point was
considering the amount of fine. The de-
PENDANTS pleaded guilty. and the ques-
ton arose as to whether the defendants
could be punished under the new law
THE law making their offense punish
able by Imprisonment was once obliter-
ated, but in 1893 the Legislature enacted
statute again making offenders liable
to the SAM punishment. We are d.
vided as to whether the offerse is liable
to the more recent law.
'rhere Is an equal division upon the
point. and we can. never agree. We
will, therefore. ask Prosecutor Win
field to sign writ Of certiorarl, so that
Court for final decision. The writ
1t IL understood that Judges Lippin-
colt and Hoffman were for furnishing
the defendants by Imprisonment, and
Hudspeth and Kenny were for fine
only.
When the final arrangement was made
the big Four" were very much cast
down, for they had hoped strongly for
decision to-day, by which they should
only he fined
AS the case now stands, they are
liable to go to jail. for the Supreme
Court of the county is strongly opposed
to racing.
