NEW YORK. May 25.-The appellate d.

George w. Perkins, whom the Supreme
Court had held to await the action of the
grand ury on technical charge OF grand
larceny in connection with the campaign
contributions OF the New York Life In
surance Company to the Republican ma
tional committee.
The proceedings against Mr. Perkins
were instituted by Dstrict-Attorney Je-
rome for the purpose OF securing ruling
upon what charge. If any, those who made 9
such contributions may be indicted. A
charge was made against Mr. Perkins,
WHO was formerly yice-presdent of the
New York Life Insurance Company, and
his case was Immediately taken before
Supreme Court Justice Greenbaum on a
writ of habeas corpus. Justice Green
baum dismissed this writ and held Mr..
Perkins for action by the grand jury.
Each justice wrote an opinion that
Mr.. Perkins could not be held guilty of
larceny

OF Appeals and get a :inal decision

Prevailing Opinion.
Justice Mclaughlin, who wrote the
prevailing opinion, said. If the facts
set out in the dispositions upon which
the warrant here was issued be construed
In the most liberal way, consistent with
n judicial determination I am Of the
opinion that such facts do not establish
that the crime of grand larceny has been
committed as the same is defined by
the penal code The defendant had
right to give of his own funds to tho
chairman Of the Republican National
Committee.

the request of the president of the insur-

pany was appropriated Openly and avow-
edly" by the relator, after all the facts
had been stated to the finance commit
tee, to reimburse him for the money
which he had previously advanced. It
was not stealthily taken nor was there
anything secretive about It, The fact
that the check was drawn payable to the
order of j. p. Morgan and Company, and
so entered on the insurance company's
books, is of no Importance. because 1t
does not appear that the relator had
