Election Law Makes Trouble for Mr..
Ducker.-On Monday last Judge Burke, in the
Circuit Cont at TowsOn, passed on an interest
ing question under the existing election law and
signed an order directing the Supervisors OF
Elections to replace on the books the name OF
Mr.. Harry T. Quicker, he having been stricken
from the registry list of the third precinct OF
the 4th election district on the ground that he
had gone out of the State of Maryland without
making an affidavit of his intention to return,
as required by the election law.
It appeared at the hearing that Mr.. Quicker,
who has been registered voter of the 4th dis
trict since his majority, is in the habit OF going
North with his family during the summer
months and coming South during the winter,
in consequence of which he is rarely within
this State six months in any one year. 1t was
also brought out that Mr.. Quicker had no fxed
place of residence. but stayed generally at
hotels and had never intended to abandon his
residence in Maryland.
Judge Burke held that where person leaves
the State under such circumstances he IS not
required to make the affidavit above referred
to, and that the section in controversy requires
the affidavit to be made only in those cases
where a voter leaves the State with the inten-
ton of taking up q fixed abode in some other
State.
Riror and Mooney Are Arraigned.-Ro-
land B. Rgor and Lee B. Mooney, the two
young men charged with having held up car
of the United Railways ct Lakeside, were
brought to Towson on Wednesday under heavy
guard and arraigned before Judge Burke on
two charges of highway robbery. There are
five charges against Rigor on account of the
holdup and four against Mooney, but States
Attorney Bussey has decided to try them first
on the charges of highway robbery, the most
serious charges against the prisoners, and will
then decide whether or not to try them under
the other indictments.
Rigor will be defended by Mr.. L. Hocheimer
and Messrs. Boarman & Lindsay, and Mooney
by Messrs. Lee & Hatton. The prisoners were
accompanied to Towson by Captain Pumphrey,
of the Baltimore detective department and
several other officers. By order of Judge Burke
the prisoners were returned to the Baltimore
city jail
