CRAwFORDsvILLE ATTORNEYS FILE
BRIEF WITH SUPREME COURT.
A Hard Fight Will he Made in the
Case of Harry Baum, Convicted
OF Selling His Vote.

Clodfelter & Fine and Irwin C. Diggins,
of Charlottesville. as attorneys for Harry
Baum, who was DISTINGUISHED for twelve
year for selling his vote for 81. sent by ex-
press yesterday their brief in an appeal
TO the Supreme Court from the decision Of
the Montgomery County Court. The case
will be No. 1888, and Baum is one of the
thirty-six persons found guilty of accepting
81 from Taylor Thompson and signing a
receipt for 81 and promising to vote the en-
tire Democratic ticket last November.
The attorneys for the defendants in this
case. as well as in the thirty-hve other
similar cases, have bitterly contested them.
because they claim that the law is unjust
and unconstitutional. and also because of
the manner in which the prosecution was
begun and the means taken by the parties
to procure the sale of the votes and be-
cause the parties who purchased the votes
are now proposing TO take 500 out of the
county treasury for each conviction.
The brief reads that the court erred in
overruling appellants motion to quash the
affidavit and information; in overruling the
motion for a new trial and a motion for
arrest of judgment. The motion to quash
was based On the ground that the crime
tAAce TN A'N 6lNNo iii
munities to and protects one class of citi-
zens and deprives and Furnishes another
class when both classes are guilty of the
same crime, and because it prevents free
dom and equality of elections. 1t is further
commended that even if the Caraway law
Is constitutional the affidavit was defective
because no candidates were named I'm the
receipt given nor was the time or place of
the election given, and also that II consti-
tuted two offenses-that of barter and sale
and the acceptance OF money.
Inc outcome of this appeal will be of con-
siderable interest to the parties i'm Mont
gomery county who We're the main wit
nesses in these cases. as they have a bill
before the commissioners for So, 800, being
800 for each man found guilty of giving
a receipt. for his vote. The commissioners
refused TO grant the demand for the money,
and the matter has been appealed TO the
Circuit Court. The decision of the Supreme
Court will be looked forward TO with much
interest.
