in reference TO the Haupt matter, was
read.
Mr.. Bugg was put back on the stand,
and stated that a demand for statement
of account was made upon the defendant
about three months previous 10 his arrest,
1t was several weeks after his arrest, at
least two weeks, before a statement was
furnished by Mr.. Haupt.
Mr.. Hartrdge read the law with regard
to larceny after trust and stated that he
should hold that the entrusting of money
10 the defendant must be done by the per-
son named in The indictment. If entrusted
by any other than the owner the person
so entrusting must be named in the indict-
ment. The indictment being for larceny of
money entrusted by the Duffy Street Bap-
fist Church to G. w. Haupt 1t must sfail
because the state had failed to show that
the church entrusted any portion of this
money 10 defendant That as an officer of
the church the offense, if any, was embez-
Element. He would also hold that the ten
der made by J. T. Wells for Mr.. Haupt
was made in good faith, and that subse-
quent irregularity as TO the funds offered
did not void the tender.
Mr. Osborne replied that the money was
the property of the church, a corporate
body. entrusted through its officers to the
defendant, and as such, he was responsible
Mr. Osborne summed up the case in his
usual vigorous manner. The case was so
plain, he SAID as not 10 require argument,
and the statement by the defendant was so
weak as to be an insult to the intelligence
of the jury.
Mr. Hartridge, in his closing argument.
claimed the right of the defendant to
avail himself of every technicality, which
the law allowed him. Especially was
81
ready been before three juries at this
term of the court upon similar charges,
all related to each other He made the
point that if it were true as claimed by
the state, that the defendant had stolen
the 81 600 with which he endeaVOred to
make good his accounts with the church.
IL was known to be true that he had
been convicted for, this. offense and was
now under sentence. AS under the law
of Georgia a man cannot be punished
twice for the same offense he
urged that the jury could not find the
defendant guilty on this portion of the in
dlctment.
Mr. Hartridge claimed that the testi-
mony of the witnesses for the state was
weak in many particulars and failed to
make out a complete case.
Judge Faliigants charge to the jury was
brief and to the point He did not sustain
the technical points made by Mr. hart
ridge.
1t was 10 O'Clock when the jury was
conducted from the court room. At 1925
note was sent to the judge requesting
that coffee be furnished TO the jury. This
was taken to indicate that there was no
prospect of an immediate agreement. AS
the jurymen had had nothing to eat since
dinner Judge Falligant ordered that they
be furnished with coffee and sandwiches.
