Belief THAI Judge Cole win Give This
Opinion in the Miller Case.
The demurrer to the indictment of Fred
Miller for making book on a scrub race at
BenuiDgs last fail was argued before Judge
co,e yesterday by Mr.. Henry E. Davis for
Miller aDd By District Attorney BIrney.
The law was quite fully gone over 10y Judge
Cole in the Engemann case a year ago and be
tion that there is no law against bookmakiEg
Yesterday that one OF Mr. Davis points was
new to him. but his questions in ihe course OF
the argument indicated little probability that
he will reverse his decision.
The case will be carried TO the court Of ap-
peais, where Judge Alvey is on record. while
on the Maryland bench. as uphoiding the
statute under which Miller is indicted.
Mr.. Davis argued yesterday that the act OF
1891 for the punishment OF bookmaking was
intended as legislative construction OF the act
OF 1888 He maintained that the later law
repeated the older and cited authorities TO
show il. He also held that with the law OF
1881 in effect Miller could not be indicted
under the law of 1883. Judge Cole asked
him il a man who stole less than S35 from
another's pocket could not be indicted either
for petit larceny or larceny from the parsoa
as the government might elect. He admitted
this. but said that there was no such differ
ence in the offense of bookmaking.
Mr.. Birney contended that there was such
a difference, and that Miller was guilty
of the kind of bookmaking indictable under
the law of 1888.
