CASE BEFORE SUPREME COURT
Question Involved is Whether or Not
Man Borrowing Money From Widow,
on His UnfulfilIed Promise to Wed
Her, is Obtaining Money Under
False Pretenses-DetaiIs Of Case.
Special to Times-Republican.

Il
Des Moines, Oct. PA case will be
submitted to the supreme court at its
sitting next week. which involves the
question Of whether or not it is OBJ
tanning money under false pretenses
for a man to borrow money from a wo-
man on the promise that. as soon as he
is established in business by the aid
of her funds they will get married. In
the Polk county district court Judge
w. H. McHenry sustained demurrer
to an indictment in the case of the
state against j. W. Hollingsworth, the
demurrer being on the ground that the
facts stated did not constitute the Of
tense of obtaining money by false pre-
lenses, and further that the facts, If
true, did not constitute an offense pun-
ishaole by law.
general, flied today with the clerk OF
the supreme court, Ii is claimed In SUBJ
stance that such rulings are one OF the
reasons why the administration OF JUS
tice at times falls into III repute.
Hollingsworth was indicted by the
Polk county district court a couple of
years ago. The charge against him
was that he induced Mrs. Vella W.
lockwood, widow, of Dies Moines,
living at 500 East Grand avenue, to
part with $500 of her money on a
IA at,. =
OH the part of the state that Hollings-
worth was married to another woman
three days before he obtained the mon-
ey from Mrs. lockwood, or on June %.
1903, and that he pretended that he
would go to Sioux Falls, s. D., and
establish himself in business by the use
Of the widows money, and that they
would then get married, the wedding
day being set for July 10, 1903.
In the district court the state alleged
in an indictment. that this was obtain
ing money under false pretenses, and
it with other similar
phrases. The defense demurred on the
ground, first, that the facts as cha.g-
ed in tine indictment did not constitute
the offense OF obtaining money by false
ments and pretenses and representa-
lions charged against the defendant in
The indictment do not constitute an Of
tense punishable by law"
Inasmuch as the Indictment was
by the district court, the de-
PENDANT was freed and cannot now he
punished but the state appealed so
get a ruling of the supreme court on
the case In the argument of the at
torney general, the statement Is made
1.-The reason that the administration of
justice at times falls into disrepute is
more frequently on account of the over
refinement of technicalities. When
courts become hypercritical and allow
criminals to escape because of matters
that in no manner effect the substan-
tial rights of the parties, it is Diff
ficult for the layman to understand
their action"
