ARGUMENT OF APPELLEE.

The argument in support of the appel
lees contention assumes that the statu-
tory offence consists chiefly in the bank
er's knowledge of his insolvency, His in
solvency, however, IS but misfortune,
not a crime. Neither this, nor his knoWl-
edge of it, can of itself work harm to the
public. 1t is only when an insolVent
banker receives money from a depositor,
that the mischief arises against which the
statute was designed to protect the pub
lie. The two eements-knowledge of the
Insolvency and the receipt of deposit
must co-exist to constitute the offence,
The argument that a banker may, by
receiving numerous deposits with knowl-
edge of his insolvency, incurs penalties
The Scranton tribune. [volume] (Scranton, Pa.) 1891-1910, 1897-02-18

There Is no reason in law or morals for
permitting a banker to fraudulently pro-
cure the moneys of A. b. and c, with i'm
punity, because he also succeeded in
fraudulently obtaining the money of d,
and had been punished therefor, and none
is to be found in the statute under con-
sideration The law will make no such
discrimination in favor of those who per-
sist in its violation. The statute declares
a single receipt Of money by an insol-
vent banker to be an offence and pre-
scribes as part of the punishment a fine
in double the amount so received. To
hold that a conviction and sentence for
the fraudulent receipt of one deposit is a
bar to prosecution for subsequent viola
tions would practically nullify this part
of the statute.

WHY APPEAL WAS TAKEN.

On demurrer by the district attorney,
the trial judge held that the plea was
sustained by these facts, and entered
judgment for the defendant. There upon
an appeal was entered on the part of the
commonwealth. Both indictments We're
based on the act of 9th of May, 1889 (P. l..
145), the provisions 'cf which are as fol-
lows: THAT any banker broker or off,
Ger of any trust or savings institution
national, state or private bank, who
shall take and receive money from de-
positor with the knowledge that he, they
| of the bank is at the time insolvent, shall
be guilty of embezzement, and shall be
| punished by a fine in double the amount
so received, and imprisoned from one to

Picturesque and Graphic Imagery of the
Scotch Peasant.
It is quite true that this word is in
common use in Scotland, but 1t is
probably considered a slang term-or,
at any rate. one with a strictly pps-
vincial character-when 1t means to
chastise, says Notes and Queries. JAM
ieson limits it with this sense to
Clydesdale. On the other hand, as a
variant of gallop (A.-S. weollan), the
word has q recognized standard value.

The meeting In the Thlrty-ntth dis

Lad had told the story Of his scQuia-

Some weeks ago the boy was fishing
on the Tualatin river. Fish were plen-

lad kept his eyes on the ripple, taking
no cognizance of what was going on

the bank above him he paid no etten-

lamb. The bleating was repeated
number OF times, but the boy was hsh-

Then came a patter of tiny hoofs down
the river bank and a little cold nose
was pushed In his hand. Looking
down, the boy found the fawn standing
beside him, apparently without fear,
the pleading look in its big brown eyes
asking help. Its neck and one side Of
the head was covered with blood, still
wet, its limbs barely supporting its
frail body. The boys first thought
was that the waif had been wounded

dying strength, she had plunged back
through the timber to reach the baby

fawn had evidently become alarmed
and started to find the buck, its one

the river, where, during its few days %
life, the two had nightly come to drink.
The boy, who gave his name as Frsnk

Everybody present agreed with the
speaker In this very plain talk and a
resolution was passed unanimously
providing fer the appointment Of cleo

Purroyites defed the Sheehanites to do
their worst
The conclusion came when the CON-
mittee on organization met In Tam
many hall to ratify the decision Of the
subcommittee In the matter Of open
primaries In the two districts named.
This was promptly done, when the
Purroyites fled out OF the building and
gathered at the Morton house, where
