YESTERDAY IN THE COURTS
Judge Greene Renders Decision in the Poo
Selling Cases Favorable to the De-
fendantS-Inferior Court.

The pool rooms now have chance to
open up again, for yesterday Judge Sam
uel e. Greene, in the case of the mayor
and aldermen of Birmingham VS.. Thorn
as G. Hewitt and others, charged with
violation of a certain city ordinance
which forbids the selling of pools on
horse races run outside of the state, rem
dered a decision of not guilty.
The defendants operated the pool room
in the Florence billiard hall, and were ar
rested for selling pools on races supposed
to have been run in New Orleans. In the
inferior court they were fined. The cases
were appealed with the stated result
The officers of the criminal court gave
out the following official statement in re-
gard to the case: atI=s.s'.,
Mayor and aldermen VS.. Thomas G..
Hewitt ct al. These cases were tried on
an appeal to the criminal court Judge
Greene presiding, for violation of Sec
ton of the city code forbidding the sale
of tickets or pools on races run outside
of the state The defendants were found
not guilty
The evidence for the prosecution show
ed receipt for money to certain 1ndi-
viduals on races to be run In New Or
leans. The only evidence tending to
show that a race was run out OF the state
was the testimony of the telegraph OPP
orator to the effect that he received and
to be race, but that he could not tell
from-what point these reports came. The
defendants objected to this on the ground
that 1t was hearsay evidence, and the
effect of the decision is to SO hold.
The city ordinance under which the de-
PENDANTS were prosecuted Is substantial
ly the same as the state law on the sub,
ject.
The effect of the judges decision is to
hold that it is not unlawful to sell pools
on races run in the state.
Under the evidence in the cases the
question narrowed down to proof of the
corpus deficit, the court holding that the
corpus in these cases was not simply the
selling of a pool ticket, because that
would not necessarily be a criminal Of
Tense, but the selling of pool tickets on
races run out of the state.
The judge holds that the prosecution
must prove the corpus deficit, that Is,
the selling of a pool on races run out of
the state, Independent of the admissions
or confessions of the defendants and
that beyond a reasonable doubt, and in
his opinion the proof falling short of this
the defendants were acquitted.
Inferior Criminal Court.
The following cases were disposed of
by Judge Feagin yesterday:
