tfoas in support of Another Cause.
In the Court of Appeals for the District,
Justice Alvey announced the opinion of
the court, affirming the judgment OF the
Supreme Court OF the District in the case
of Julius Latney colored, who was con-
victed Of a second offence of petit larceny.
Associate Justice Shepard dissents from
the opinion of the court, but has not yet
filed an opinion in the case.
The appeal has been watched with much
interest by the members OF the local bar
An interesting question in criminal law
is involved, and two Of the associate jus
tices Of the Supreme Court of the District
entertain different views with respect to
the point at issue
Julius Latney was tried and convicted
in the police court on July 16, 1S9S. OF the
offence Of petit larceny. He was SEN
fenced by the court and served out the
term of Imprisonment
In October, 1900 Latney was indicted by
the grand jury, and brought before the
Supreme Court of the District, holding a
criminal term, for second offence of petit
larceny. The Indictment charged that
Latney had been properly convicted of his
first offence in the Police Court, and that
having committed petit larceny a second
time, he was indictabIe under the statutes
for second offence.
Latney pleaded not guilty to the indict-
ment, and at the trial before Justice Cla-
baugh. the Government offered the docket
book of the Police Court in evidence to
prove Latney's first conviction. The de-
fendant. by his counsel, Levi II. David,
objected TO the admissibility in evidence
of the docket and proceedings Of the Po-
lice Court, on the ground that the judg-
ment was void because that court did not
acquire jurisdiction to try the defendant
on July 16, 1885
The specific objection urged was that
the information upon which the court pro-
ceeded to render its judgment was not
under oath, and that there was no afi-
davit, charging the offence, which pre-
ceded the fling Of the information; and
further, that II was necessary for the
prosecuting officer himself TO swear TO
an information in the Police Court accord
ing to the construction Of the act of Con-
gress of 1870, and an amendatory act of
1881.
The court oyerruled the objection OF
the defendant and the docket of the Po-
lice Court was admitted in evidence. Lat
ney was convicted, and he appealed to the
Court Of Appeals.
After stating the Facts, the Court OF
Appeals proceeds to dispose Of the law
point involved, and says that Latney
claims
THAT the information on which the de-
sendant was tried and convicted in the
Police Court was Illegal, because not un-
der cath in manner and form as the law
requires; and secondly, that the arrest,
trial, and conviction of the defendant un-
der the information of Julv 16 1895 In the
Police Court, was in violation of Article
