IBr TELEGRAPH TO TIE TRIBUNE

lbf TELEGRAPH TO The TRIBUNE
Fredonia, y. Y, Aug. 21.-Justice Warren b
Hooker Of the With Judicial District Supreme
Court, to-day heard arguments in the matter
OF granting a certificate OF reasonable doubt
pending an appeal In the case Of George Bissert
the New-York police wardman sentenced for
taking bribe from Lena Schmidt Bissert was
represented by Judge ]. Rider Cady OF HUDSON;
Louis j. Vorhaus and Henry Unger. OF New
York. District Attorney Phibn and Assistant
District Attorney Cans appeared for the prose-
cution.
Judge Cady opened for the defence. making an
eloquent address OF an hour and a half He said
the reason for coming to ii Western Ncv-York
justice was primarily TO get into an unpreju-
diced atmosphere. and paid a high tribute TO
Justice Hookers fairness. Then he attacked the
District Attorney for what he called unjust per
secution OF an innocent man. His principal ar
gument. which made an effect on the spectators
was that second Indictment specifying date
October 10. had been found when a demurrer
was still being argued on the first which gave
no date and that this false date given
TO prevent the prisoner from proving an alIbi
Justice Hooker had several times to remind the
attorneys that he had nothing to saw OF tbe
guilt innocence of Bissert but onlv as 70
whether sufficient errors had been made 10 war
rant a new trial. All the attorneys agreed bur
kept fiinging at each other.
Mr.. Vorhaus followed and argued on the OK
ceptions taken. He said that Section 70, under
which Bissert convicted applies only 10
judicial officer or an officer not enumerated in
Titles and Of the Code. the defendants con-
tention being that Section 4S OF the Code covers
the case. Second he said. the court committed
error in receiving the evidence of the bankers OF
Lena Schmidt of the withdrawal Of $3.50 from
the bank this money having been drawn before
any illegal compact alleged to have been
made by the defendant. before any negotia-
tions had been made with him concerning the
opening of a disOrderly house. 1t would have
been nadmssible even after that date, being
in the nature self-saYng acts which
are not admitted The next points We're the
acceptance OF the uncorTObOrated testimony Of
two dissolute women, the fact that the jury was
drawn under an unconstitutional law, and that
the District Attorney in his opening to the jury
made tnfiammatory remarks calculated to arouse
prejudice.
District Attorney Phibn argued the impor-
tance Of the and the conditions in New
York. He replied TO the charges of Judge Cady
and battle OF words followed. His assistant
argued questions of law and fact which arose
in the trial. and asked the justice not to admit
the defendant to bail, even In he granted
the certificate. that would practically nullify
the conviction. Justice Hooker gave TO the at
torneys ten days TO submit briefs
