People respondents: Jerome A. Buck
ley, appellant. Falsifcation of returns
by election officer Reversed
The presumption in the Appellate
Court is that there was no evidence in
trOduced in support of a fact in issue,
unless the bill of exceptions contains
the substance of the evidence introduc.
ed to prove the fact, or states that the
fact was proven or that evidence was
introduced tending to prove it,
Evidence derived from the compari-
son of handwritings, even when done
by experts of the greatest skill, will not
alone satisfy a reasonable doubt, espe-
cially when the conclusion is against
positive evidence in addition to the
presumption of innocence.
The Constitution and the laws alike
guarantee a speedy trial, and Section
l,3S2 of the Penal Code prescribes that
the prosecution shall be dismissed un-
less good cause to the contrary be
shown, If defendant whose trial has
not been postponed upon his applica-
ton is not brought to trial within sixty
days after the filing of the information.
Held, that the pOstponement of one
day, upon the application of the de-
fendant, does not deprive the defendant
of the constitutional guarantee of a
speedy trial
The constitutional guaranty imposes
upon the State the duty of providing
courts which, under ordinary cOndi-
tions, can furnish a speedy trial. 4
speedy trial does not mean at once,
but with all convenient dispatch, and
implies courts in which trial may be
had. No doubt it also implies reason
able time for the State to provide
courts and juries and to procure wit
nesses. 1t imposes. however, a special
duty upon the State with reference to
such cases, and if the duty is not per-
formed the defendant must go free. The
mere statement of the Judge that the
court has been otherwise engaged does
not show good cause
