APPEALS FROM THE DECISION
Case of Julius Latney Involves an
Interesting LAW Question.

Argument was commenced yesterday in
the Court of Appeals of the District in the
case OF Julius Latney, colored, against
The United States, which was appealed
from the District Supreme Court
Latney was convicted in the lower court
of second offence of petit larceny, the
Government producing in evidence the
record of the Police Court, showing a
previous conviction July 10, 1895
The defendant claimed in the lower
court that the record of his conviction
in the Police Court was in violation of
the statute and the fourth amendment
to the Constitution of the United States,
and that the judgment of that court as
entered was an absolute nullity. and that
therefore it was erroneous for the court
to permit the record 20 be admitted in
evidence.
The identical question raised In this
case was passed upon by Justice Bradley
In several habeas corpus cases that came
before him, and upon consideration of
the matter. he decided that the Police
Court had violated the terms of the stat
ute and the provisions OF the fourth
amendment in the matter of proceeding
in that court on informations similar t.
the one involved In Latney's case.
Justice Clabaugh decided in the Latney
case that the judgment Of the Police
Court was valid differing with the views
expressed by Justice Bradley. The case
is an interesting one and the outcome
Will he looked forward to with interest.
Attorney Levi II. David presented the
opening argument on behalf of the APP
peIlant and occupied the attention of the
court UP to the hour of adjournment.
The court took a recess until Tuesday,
ut which time District Attorney Ander-
son and Assistant District Attorney Gould
will present argument IN behalf of the
United states. Charles A Douglass Will

which the burned building had stood
but said that 1t was in the regular course
of a business deal.
Continuing his cross-examination, Judge

n fact that he did not propose to answer
the charge of arson, and that he intended
to forfeit his bond, the amount of which
was already deposited in a Rockville bank
to secure his surety, Although advised
that 1t was not necessary for him to an
swer that question. Mr.. Pickford replied
emphatically in the negative, and said
that the trial could not come too soon to
please him.
Mr.. Mullowny objected to this manner
Of cross-examination and Judge Mackey
replied that he proposed to show the mo-
tive behind the present prosecution. He
proposed to show. he said, that there was
conspiracy, but that the conspiracy was
entered into by Pickford and others to
mold Hudson n prisoner in this city
against the State of Maryland, and thus
prevent a conviction. which could not be
secured without the evidence that would
be given by Hudson.
At this point the court adjourned for

BASS DEFENCE OPENS.
He Denies That He Used the Mails
for Fraudulent Purposes.

The taking of testimony In behalf of Lis
ton d. Bass, on trial in Criminal Court No.
l, charged with using the United States
mails for unlawful purposes began yes
terday. The defence was outlined by
Charles a. Douglass of counsel for Bass.
He stated that the defendant is charged
with violating an act of Congress relating
to sending certain kinds Of printed matter
throuth the United States mail, and was
not indicted for making false pretences or
for fraud, but for promoting an alleged un-
lawful scheme. Mr.. Douglass said that
testimony will be offered to show that the
plan in connection with the conduct of the
Union Teachers Agency and the Blu
reau of Civil Service Information" is
honest and lawful, and that 1t was the in
tentiOn of Bass to give full value for all
money paid him.
THE all-impOr:ant question" Mr. Doug
lass said, is, did or did not Bass use the
United States mails for unlawful purposes
to defraud anyone?"
All the testimony for the defence, coun-
sci said, would tend 10 throw light upon
this particular phase of the case He
claimed that a great deal of the evidence
offered by the Government tended TO prove
the honesty of the scheme underlying
Bass business -
Bass was William c. Bonsai, from whom
Bass rented premises 1922 Centre Street
The witness stated that after Bass had
moved from the premises he. Bonsal,
burned about a ton Of literature used by
the defendant in the conduct Of his BUSH
ness. H
Margaret Dudley McDaniels. who for
some time acted as secretary for Bass, and
who testified on behalf Of the Government
was next called for the defence. Miss Nc
Daniels testified as to some of the litera-
ture used by Bass, not submitted as evil
dence by the prosecution.
Before commencing the testimony coun-
sci for the accused asked that the evidence
of Mrs. Matte f. Brewer, an important
witness, be taken before an examiner. 1t
was stated that Mrs. Brewers is In Ill
health, and the excitement Of appearing in
open court would be detrimental 10 her
condition. Miss f. Mabel Rollins was also
called to testify. She stated that she had
done some clerical work for Bass, and
identified certain letters as having been re-
ceived from correspondents.
The court adjourned at O'Clock to allow
counsel on either side to be present at the
taking OF the deposition of Mrs. Matte L.
