tribufiou of Trust Funds tn
JnmpniRn's Uses.

NEW YORK. May S.--Argument was be
gun today upon the George Perkins case in
the appellate division of the supreme court.
Nj Perkins was formerly vice president
Of The New York Life Insurance company.

whether the making Of political contribu-
tfons from insurance company funds consti-
tutea a crime.

division on a plea from n ruling by Justice
Greenbsum that such contributions con-
stitute larceny.
Mr. Perkins was represented today by
former Judge William y. Cohen and How
ard :. Cans In opposition to the appeal
appeared District Attorney Jerome and
Samuel Untermyer.
Judge Cohen in opening his argument con-
tended that there is not sufficient legal
evidence TO justify the magistrate IN as
,uming jurisdiction in this case and the
property taken was contributed for the
benefit of it's true owners. Judge Cohen
then presented a series of arguments along
the same lines which counsel for Mr.. Per
Sins followed when the case was argued be-
fore Justice Greenbaum.
District Attorney Jerome made an argu-
decision Mr. Jerome said that he would
conccdo that to prove crime. felonious in
tent must be shown. but he declared, the
expression "fclonious intent Is ono of
most elastic meaning lie added: AS show
ing The criminal intent a great deal of dis
cretion resides in the court. maintain
hat It is sufficient to prove that there was
, moral evil to prove that there was feloni-
intent. I maintain that the relator did

+ rhor arguments against Mr.. Perkins
appeal were made by Mr.. Untermyer. who
said that Mr.. Perkins, being vice presi-
dent of the company and chairman Of the
finance committee. was Just as responsible
for the disbursement of money as the presi-
dent himself.
