NEW YORK, March 2a-If the
grand jury which is investigating some
OF the conditions developed at the re-.
cent legislative investigation, reaches
the conclusion that the contributions
OF Insurance company funds to political
campaign committees were made with
the intent to deprive or defraud the
true owners Of their property, il must
find that larceny was committed.
This opinion was expressed today by
Justice O'Sullivan in tho court Of
general sessions in answer TO the pre-.
sentiment on the subject submitted 70
him by the grand jurors. O'Sullivan
added that IL was not within the pro.
vince of the court TO sny whether or
not there was this intent. That il a
question which the jurors must deter.
mine for themselves from all the facts
and circumstances Of the case. He
charged the Jury to make thorough in
vcstigation into all the facts, and
place the responsibility Of such crimes,
If they find crimes were committed.
The opinion is in effect directly op.
posite 70 the one upon the same sub
ject which was given by District At.
torney Jerome several days ago, In his
brief, which was submitted to O'Sulli-
van, In which he held that there was
no ground for the prosecution of any

ground that no intention TO dcfraud
had been shown.

After being out but n few minutes
the jury in the case Of Mrs. Pastora
Contrcras, whose trial on the CHARGE
Of disturbing the peace came of lsss
evening in the courtroom before Justice
Of the peace Kcohanc, returned a vcr-
diet Of not guilty.
The case grew out Of dispute which
arose between the defendant and Mrs.
Nora Ship, both residents Of West
Prescott, over the children Of their
respective families. None Of the wit
nesscs for the prosecution understood
the Spanish language, which il the only
tongue spoken by the defendant, and
j. \. Gales, the court interpreter, was
pressed into service, when Mrs. Con-
trcras appeared on the witness stand.
The testimony developed the fact that
a number Of expressive sentences and
epithets common in both languages
were used in the dispute between tho
defendant and Mrs. Ship, neither Of
whom understood the other. While tho
discussion that led TO the arrest was nj
its height, the parties to the diplomatic
affair were divided by n high board
fence, which separates their respective
domains, and 20 this fact is attributed
the end Of the tilt not being n Astis
encounter.

presented the territory and Attorney
A. l.. Hammond looked after the In

There was large crowd present IN
