THE DUESTROW A s
1t May Be Reversed on a Point Made
by Mexico Lawyers and Sustained
by the Supreme Court.

From the Vandalia Mail and Express.
Our readers will remember the triaI
and conviction of one Bobbst, Of
Montgomery County, about a yea,
ago at Mexico. He was charged with
taking away a girl under Is years Of
age for immoral purposes. He was
found guilty in the Circuit Court. The
Prosecuting Attorney who argued the
case called Bobbst an "infamous
lecherous sc%oundrel" and Edmonston
& Cullen, who defended Bobbst, OBJ
jected to the use of such language.
Judge Hughes held that the language
was not improper and Edmonston &
Cullen took the cas- to the Supreme
Court and argued it there, and the
Supreme Court held that the language
was improper and sent the case back
for a new trial and Bobbst was never
convicted. 1t is nov claimed that the
ruling in the Bobbst case will give
Duestrow a new trial. If a new trial
Is given to Duestrow on this point the
credit will be largely due to Edmon-
ston & Cullen, who first made the
point and succeeded in getting the
court to sustain it.
The Post-D Dispatch, in referring to
the matter, says:
The decision of Judge James B.
CAN'T, presiding Judge of Division
No. 2 of the criminal branch of the
Supreme Court, reversed the convic-
ton of a defendant named Bobbst,
convicted in Audrain County, of en-
ticing a female, has aroused consider
able interest among attorneys all
through the State.
The opinion is concurred in by
Judges Sherwood and Burgess. 1t
appears in volume 131 of the Missouri
reports containing some of the more
recent decisions of the Supreme
Court. This volume has just been is
sued.
The grounds for the reversal awaken
the interest. 1t is done because the
Prosecuting Attorney denounced the
defendant as an "infamous lecherous
scoundrel." The opinion holds that
this vas conduct calculated to pref
udice the defendants interest. The
language used very sharply censures
Prosecuting Attorneys for indulging
In and Judges for allowing such con-
duct.
