MOTION FOR
ACQU|TT
Counsel for BerteImann
Raises Some Fine
Points.

When Mr.. Dunno rested the case OF
the prosecution against Frank c. Ber-
seImann in the Federal court yester-
aav afternoon, Messrs. Straus and
Mossman moved for a directed verdict
Of aequittal on grounds in substance
rs follows:
/. That it was not proved that de-
PENDANT falsely assumed and pretended
ca he anv officer or employe of the u.
S. Government.
9 Because there is no such officer
sr employe of the U. S. Government as
policeman.
3. 1t has not been proved that this
defendant falsely pretended to do any
act that would or does fall within the
province OF any officer OF the U. ,.
government.
4. 1t has not been proved that this
defendant falsely pretended that he
came from the Government at Wash
7npton. d. c., or from the Government
ar the State of Washington, or from
the county of Washington, State of
Maine.
5. Because it has not been proved
chat this defendant was not an officer
or employe of the U. ,. Government.
Mr.. Straus argued against the
aourt's suggestion that Indian police
men in the United States meant the
same as marshals or deputy marshals
II of Revised
statutes of the United States, giving
such officials in each State the same
authority as sheriffs and deputy
sheriffs.
Judge Dole held that an assumption
Of author1tv such as confused the pub
fie mind regarding its duties toward
the Government brought the matter
within the jurisdiction of the court.
Otherwise willy person might perpe-
trate fraud and escape punishment by
carefully avoiding the use of certain
sf1eial titles. The word employe in the
indictment was broad enough to cover
an offense against the Federal statute.
There was evidence against the defend
ant which the jury should consider.
Mr.. Straus had contended that if
Bertelmann had obtained money under
false pretenses. the place to prosecute
Aim was n the Territorial Circuit
Court. He now begged the court, it
being but a few minutes to four
o'clock, to give him until this morning
TO produce authorities on his conten-
1IouS.
Mr.. Dunno objected. saying the
points had been fully ruled upon.
Judge Dole remarked that he was
not infallible and would be very much
z
Vested on appeal from him. Ultimately
he gave defendant IS counsel until 9
clock this morning to file a brief of
authorities, but would not promise to
hear further argument on the motion.
At previous stage of the days pro
seedings, Mr.. Straus at the command
Of the court withdrew a remark insin-
rating perjury of certain evidence for
the prosecution at the first trial.

Antiauity of the Umbrella.

No one knows whether the umbrella
was originally used as defense
against rain or a screen from the sun,

umbrellas were sunshades. In coun-

but the sun Is IL power. Why shouldn't
the palm leaf be the first sunshade

kiss. The result is as follows:
Cold, warm, icy, burning, chilly, cool,
loving, Indifferent, balsamic, fragrant,
blissful, passionate, aromatic, with
tears bedewed, long, soft, hasty, intox-
icating, descending. delicious, pious,
tender, beguiling, hearty, distracted,
frantic, h-as-the-morning, breath
ing fire, divine, satanic, glad, sad, super
fetal, quiet, loud, fond, heavenly, ex-
ecrable, devouring, ominous, fervent,
parching, nervous, soulless, stupefying,
slight, careless, anxious, painful, sweet,
refreshing, embarrassed, shy, mute,
ravshing, holy, sacred, firm, hurried,
faithless, narcotic, feverish, immoder-
ate, sisterly, brotherly and paradaisical.
The task seemed interminable and he
