Leopold J. Stern. charged with false
pretenses i'm connection with his con-
tracts with the Postofice Department
to furnish letter carriers satchels. was
concluded yesterday afternoon before
Judge Scott in the United States branch
of the Police Court, and Stern was held
by the court in 5000 bond to await the
action of the grand jury. The Title
Guaranty and Trust Company OF Scran-
ton. Pa, which qualified as Stern S
bondsman several days ago. renewed
the bond yesterday and Stern will enjoy
provisional freedom pending the action
OF the grand jury.
The last session of the hearing began
yesterday afternoon at 1890 o'clock and
closed shortly after o'clock. 1t was the
sixth day of the hearing. and was de-
voted to the closing arguments of coun-
sci for both sides.
Mr.. Classic. counsel for Stern. who was
in the course of his argument when the
hearing closed on Monday afternoon,
resumed it Immediately upon the OPEN
ing of court yesterday. He had previ-
ously entered a motion for dismissal
and presented argument to the effect
that Stern had done no wrong and that
the Postofhce officials were cognizant
Of every action on the part of Stern in
connection with his contracts and war
rants for payment
Mr.. Taggart's Statement.
Assistant District Attorney Taggart,
who personally prosecuted the case, be-
gan the Governments side Of the argu-
ment Immediately upon the close of Mr..
Classics statement. He said that Stern
had shown bad faith in his dealings with
the department IN that he had obtained
payment for something ne had not fur
nished. He advanced many arguments
and quoted authorities to show that a
case had been made out and asked the
court to send Stern to the grand jury
for further examination.
Mr.. Woodland, associated with Mr.
Classic in the defense of Stern. present
ed the closing argument 20 the court.
He said the case amounted merely to
an overcharge and was not for settle
ment in a criminal court He also
charged that Stern had been brought to
this country on a fictitious charge to
be used as witness in the other Post
Office cases now awaiting trial
Judge Scott, in holding Stern, said
that sufficient evidence had been intro
duced to justify Stems case going to
the grand jury for a further hearing.
When the decision Of the court was
announced Mr.. Classic made a plea for
the reduction of the bond, but Attorney
Taggart asked that the bond be con-
tflued at 5000. and Judge Scott fixed
II at that amount.
