UNWISE, SAYS JUSTICE.
Still Justice Dugro Thinks Ne1o
Gambling Lao Constitutional.

Justice Dugro. in the Supreme Court yester-
day. after hearing Alfred Lauterbach. counsel for
Jesse Lewisohn. and Assistant District Attorney
Sandford. IN opposition granted an order directing
Lewisohn to show good cause before Justice Green
baum to-day why provision should not be inserted
in his appeal the writ OF certiorari. issued on
Friday last. that the case in which Lewisohn de-
clares he was wrongly committed by Judge Nc
Mahon should be argued in the June term OF the
Appellate Division.
Justice Dugro said that while he considered the
law under which Lewisohn had been called
witness constitutional. he thought It unwise, I'M
Just and inexpediert and that Il could not long
stand.
AS illustration OF the weakness OF the law.
said Justice Dugro, suppose that murder should
be committed IN gambling house The person
committing the murder might be examined before
trial in inquiry TO discover the murderer and
asked questions Just Lewsohn was. He would
naturally refuse TO answer. and then the immunity
clause with reference 10 gambling houses. granting
immunity any persons testifying with regard
TO anything which happened in that place would
be shown TO him. Should he testify he could not
be prosecuted for the murder, although he admitted
that he committed IT. This clearly shows how I'M
wise this law Is.
Justice Dugro thought that person once receiv-
ing immunity a witness could not be compelled
10 testify in any other proceeding. Mr. Sanford
wanted a provision inserted in the order that.
should the Appellate Division decide against Levi
sohn he should stipUlate that he would immediate
ly purge himself OF his contempt
Mr. Lauterbach asked that the District Attorney
stipulate that should the Appellate Division decide
against I.evisohn he would not proceed with the
Indictment of Canheld and insist on Lewisohns ex-
animation in that case and in case Of his refusal
have him again in contempt OF court, thus punish
ing him twice for the offence
SHOULD Garfield be indicted said Mr.. Iauter-
bach. before the appeal has been decided. the Dis
tr.ct Attorney will insist on examining Lewfsonn as
n witness on the trial. and in of his refusal
10 answer. to have him punished for contempt or
court not only for his refusal before Justice Wyatt
but also for the contempt before the grand jury
Mr. Sanford said he feared that should the
Appellate Division decide against Lewisohn. Mr..
Lauterbach would not then permit him 20 purge
himself of his contempt. but would carry the
10 the Court of Appeals. and get another stay.
pending the result OF that appeal Mr.. Lauter-
bach smiled.
