replied that he feared the crime would be fastened
upon him. should the officers search him and find
the knife.
Henry Bourne. who testified that he had known
Tucker all his life. when he the pin found on

IL IS most unfortunate condition Of affairs and

the ground that Mrs. Schill never the legal

THINKS THE TRANSFER ACT ILLEGAL.
Magistrate Pool Doubts Constitutionality-
Case of Stonecutter on Streetcar

Magistrate Pool. in the West Side court yester-
day gave an opinion as to the constitution
atty OF the so-called transfer act as applied
TO street railways, holding. apparently, that the
law forbidding the disposal Of transfer by pas
senger was IN violation Of the constitution The
case was that of William Flood a stoneeutter. Of
No 24S West Sixty-frst-st.. who, on a northbound
Amsterdam-ave. car. at Fifty-niuth-st, ten
dered as fare a transfer which, 1t is alleged he
obtained from passenger who had alighted from
a car Detective Trojan, who was a witness ad-
mitted under cross-examination that he did not
know It was a transfer that Flood had. but said
the shape similar.
Magistrate Pool said:
The question IS whether a person who lawfully
receives a transfer from the railroad company and
has it in his lawful possession has not the right
10 dispose Of 1t as he sees fit; and whether such
recipient, in turn has not the lawful right it,
If it is lawful TO receive. how it be unlawful
give? Justice Olmsted in his recent opinion did
not touch this point and il is the most vital one
in my belief.
Flood testified that he had received the transfer
from conductor a Madson-ave.
The case was not finished.
