CRIMES ACT DECISION
Supreme Court Holds That
Juries Cannot Change
Offenses-0ther
Opinions.
Social to the Jerscv catp Meas.


TRENTON, July u, 1s95.-Justice Reed
filed in the Supreme Cour yesterday an
opinion in the case of John Rowland VS..
the State of New Jersey, holding that
the provision in section Sc of the criminal
procedure act, that upon the trial of
an Indictment for larceny the jury may
return a verdict of guilty of embezzle-
ment. -eontravenes act /, section 8 Of
the State Constitution providing that III
all criminal prosecutions the accused
shall have the right to be informed of
the nature and cause of the accusation.
The defendant was indicted for the lar
ceny of a check. He was convicted of
embezzlement. The check was payable
to one Frank Benson. Benson took the
check to the store of one Levy, and after
endorsing the check left it with Levy's
son. Young Levy placed the check in a
safe standing in the store. Rowland, the
defendant, was in the store at the time,
and young Levy said to Rowland that if
he could open the safe he could have the
check. Rowland tried. succeeded, took
the check out of the safe, left the store
and afterwards had it cashed.
WHAT CONSTITUTES LARCENY.
The court, at the trial of the case,
proceeded 20 define what constituted
larceny, and also what constituted en-
bezzlement. and told the jury that under
the Indictment a conviction could DE re-
turned for either larceny or for emoez-
element.
The question was left to the jury
whether the defendant believed, when he
took the check, that it belonged to him,
or whether he understood the proposition
as a joke. The jury convicted, as already
observed.
Justice Reed. in his opinion, says:-"It
seems entirely clear that the defendant
was guilty of larceny or he was guilty Of
nothing. If ne thought he was entitled to
the check neither his asportation or con-
version was criminal. If, on the other
hand, he had no legal right to take the
check away with him. and he knew he
had no such right, and yet cashed it, he
was guilty Of appropriating to his own use
property which he knew he had unlawful
ly taken, and that is larceny"
OTHER OPINIONS FILED.
This case was an appeal from the Mon
mouth Circuit. and was originally tried
before Judge Clarence Conover.
Nevius & Wilson. of Red Bank, were
counse for Rowland.

cult, the plaintiff recovered a verdict of

RO0NEY'S DILEMMA.
Seeks a Divorce Which May
Land Him in Jail.

Many years ago Arthur Rooney wooed
| and won a Virginia belle. That was in
| 1862 and on May IS of that year they
married. All did not go on as well as
they imagined in the halcyon days of
courtship and at last they separated.
He, by a separation deed, gave ell to
his wife and in this document appeared
this clause, w shall live henceforth
| as if we never married" The deed was
duly recorded in Henrico county. Vir-
ginia. Afterwards they, like sheep, went
astray and turned each into his and
her own way.
Arthur's way led him to Jersey City,
| where he met Miss Helen F.. Barry, not
the eminent and gifted actress, but a
very estimable young lady residing here.
1t was true there was a little matter
of about thirty years difference between
their ages, but what did that matter?
The saucy god who laughs at lock-
smiths can equally deride disparity in
| years and it so fell out that they fell
in love and were married by Rev. Mont
gom " Hunt Throop of st. Matthews

street, July IA, 1894.
FUNNY THING CONSCIENCE.
Mr.. Arthur Rooney was just as
spooney as the mated turtle dove, but
when the novelty was Ger. away out of
the door, flew that tickle thing, some
people call love-" sang Homer of old,
and it was true here. AS Mr.. Rooney's
passion waned inversely proportionate
his conscience became troubled. Like
Bluff King Harry. linked to naughty
Katharine of Arragon, and in love with
Anne Boleyn, he began to think of his
conscience and his matrimonial bonds.
This second marriage, he argued. was
all wrong, and the only way to lay his
troubled spirit was to ask the Court of
Chancery to nnr this marriage.
Through the medium of Counsellors
Van Wrinkle and Klink all this morning
Chancellor Pitney that the square thing
for him to do was to set Mr.. Rooney
MRS. ROONEY OBJECTS.
But. Mrs. Rooney was in court today
and she opposed her husbands request.
She exhibited to the Court the famous
separation deed and declared on her
honor that she a well as he believed
they were free and could be married.
This declaration was a blackeye blow
for her husband, who says that she
rage was illegal. If Mr.. Rooney's words
be true, in trying to jump out of the
matrimonial frying pan he Will drop into
the fire of the prosecutors office, where
Mr.. Winfield will be delighted to roast
Vice Chancellor Pitney patiently listen
ed to both sides and took away the
papers to the wild woods of Morris
town to straighten out the tangle.

THE SMALLEST REPUBLIC.
Traval0ra,s women Allowed Arc

Among the tiny republics of the world
perhaps the tiniest of all, in point of
population, is the Republic of Trav-
aloro, on the island of that name. about
eight miles from Sardinia. It has a
population Of ifty-fve and is less than
two miles in length.
Sovereignty was accorded in 1895 by
King Charles Albert to the head of the
Bartoleoni family. who was given the
title of king. For nearly fifty years this
monarcb-Paul I. was his name-ruled
his microscopic kingdom with Skill and
judgment and enjoyed peace with all
his ~neighbors. He died MAY 8, 1882, after
expressing the desire to his sorrowing
relatives that none of them should sue
coed him He strongly wished his sub
jects to govern themselves. No pre-
tender arose. and for four years the
simple inhabitants got along comfort
ably without I'M hand at the helm of
their ship of State. But in 1886, after
lengthy discussions, in which Travae
lorans women took a prominent part,
the republic was proclaimed.
The women had a large say regard
ing the constitution, and they secured
the right of suffrage. The president is
elected for six years. He and the other
officers serve without salary. The in
dependence of the tiny State was recog-
nized in 1887 by the Italian government.
