HUNNEL MUST GO TO JAIL
Court Decides Lawyer Is Net En-.
titled to Release Under Bail.
for Certificate of Rea-
sOnabIe Doubt Does Not Confer
Right TO Freedom.

Albany y V. Oct g-The Court of
Appeals this afternoon decided that Abra-
ham Hummel was not entitled to be out
on bail pending decision on his appIica-
ton for certificate of reasonable doubt
in the case Of his conviction on a charge
of subornation of perjury in connection
with the Dodge-AIorse marital tangle.
Hummel was convicted on December
20 and sentenced to serve one year in
Sing Sing.
lie was lodged in the Tombs, but was
released the same night. having been ad-
mitted 10 bail by Justice Woodward Sub
sequently. on December % Hummel was
re8rrested on a warrant issued by District
Attorney Jerome, and again was set free
on writ of habeas corpus obtained by
John 3. Stanchfeld
A certificate Of reasonable doubt was
granted to Hummel last January by Jus
iiee John Woodward. of the Appellate
Division in Brooklyn. Hummel had been
convicted and sentenced ID one years
imprisonment and a fine of $3.50 several
weeks before that He was admitted to
oall when Justice Woodward granted him
stay Of execution, pending the argu-
ment for the certificate of reasonable
doubt
The certificate was granted on two
grounds-because Of the lack Of certain
corroborative evidence sworn to by
Dodge and on account of the manner IN
which the trial judge charged the jury.
Justice woodward held that Justice
Rogers had erred in his charge as to cor
roboration of evidence, coming danger
ously near usurping the pTerogative OF
the jury TO decide as 20 the facts in the
case.
