Judge Bollinger Saturday decided
the now celebrated case of ]. \. lie
Claire VS.. DR.. Pinckney, the owner of
Lawrence C., in which the plaintiff
sought to attach the part of the
purse won by Lawrence {. at the re-
cent trotting meeting here. Justice
Hall decided that the money won by
the horse and its owner and driver
was exempt from personal earnings.
holding that the contention that
horse racing was gambling and the
money therefore attachable was not
good law. The case went up to Judge
Bollinger and was argued before him
on the additional ground that the
winnings of the horse was in the ma
ture of profits on capital invested in
the shape of the entrance fee, and
was therefore not exempt. Judge
Bollinger decides the appeal in favor
of DR.. Pinckney, and gives his opinion
that the entrance fee is not an invest
ment, but is merely one of the eX-
Penses incidental to keeping horse
for racing purposes, the same as feed,
harness, etc. The purse, says the
Judge, is offered as a reward for the
horse and its driver who are capable
of winning it, and in this case would
be exempt, as the single horse owned
by Pinckney was unquestionably eX-
empt.

Fugitives From Justice.

It is to be hoped that way can be found
to secure the extraditf6n Of the men who
have just fed from this country to Canada
to avoid trial for their completely in the
frauds committed against the government
by Capt. Carter, the engineer officer now
serving a term in the military prison at
Fort LeavenWorth. The conviction of Capt.
Carter was only one Of the moves in the
case which strict justice demanded His
accomplices in the frauds remained then at
large, although it was suspected that the
Inspiration and temptation for his offenses
were due to them. The government has
been fought stoutly at every stage of the
case and it has brought the prosecution to
the point Of trial with great difficulty. 1t
would be a travesty upon the state of the
international law If these men, formally
accused Of serious crime against the gov
ernment and the public morals, can man.
age to evade trial by merely crossing the
border. Their offense is not political. such
as would protect them from the govern

the people in pardoning the convicted an
