THE LAW WAS NOT VIOLATED.
Judge Truax's Decision in the Frank Cas-,
Yesterday.

SuNke lruhx'b DtclnlOn n tne ran Ease
Yesterday.
Nathan Frank, the bookmaker. who was ar
rested at Morris Park Oh Tuesday for accepting
a bet OF SIS on the horse Shakespeare H.. was
discharged on a writ Of habeas corpus by Jus.
tice Truax OF the Supreme Court yesterday. who
held that the law had not been violated. He
had been held reluctantly by Magistrate Flam-
mer yesterday morning on the charge. Delan-
cey Nicoll appeared for Frank. District Attor-
ney Fellows in person represented the people.
and Joseph S. Auerbach appeared for the West
chester Racing Association.
Mr.. Nicoll called the attention of the court to
the case of Joseph Sturgis, who was arrested
last December for making a bet. and in which
case the Appellate Division had held the Percy
Gray racing law to be constitutional. in tho
Frank case, he said, there had been no record
mad Q Of the bet. and the case did not come
under the provisions Of the Penal Code,
section 35l, against bookmaking and regis
try of bets. By that section. he contepded.
nevertheless, punishment cannot be imposed
II another and exclusive penalty is i'm
Percy-Gray law. The Percy-Gray law pro-
that Is given for u wager on a horse race. He
claimed that this is the only penalty for which
been held by Magistrate ,Flammer because the
police would not act on a decision made in that
court and in order that the case could be passed
upon In tho Supreme Court.
District Attorney Fellows took a position in
line with that OF Mr.. Nicoil. He said that II the
decision Of Magistrate Flammer was upheld it
would lead to serious complications at the race
track. 1t was clearly the intention OF the Leg
islature. he said, by the Percy-Gray law to pro-
vide that horse races may be held under certain
this separate act for violations of that law.
The Appellate Division had decided that the
Legislature had n right to do this, and
the decision OF that court should govern
the Magistrates courts. He said the case turned
on the issue as to whether the passing OF money
at a track was II record or token that could be
used In evidence. lie did not think that un-
marked bills. put into the pocket OF a man with
other bills, could be considered a record or q
token for evidence. He said he was inclined to
think that no case had been made out against
Frank.
In discharging the prisoner Justice Truax
said that. as It did not appear that any delivery
or transfer or registry, memorandum. or token
that could be used AS evidence. had passed or
been used. the provisions OF the Penal Code had
not been violated.
