FIELDS ARGUES
HIS OWN CASE
Washington City Attorney, Now In
I Prison, Addresses Court Ably
In Own Behalf.

On his own petition for a writ OF
habeas corpus against Charles %.
Haddox. warden Of the State peni-
Tertiary. Thomas N. Fields, attor-
ney. Of Washington. D. G.. seeks his
liberty from the penitentiary. where
he is serving . nve-years sentence
imposed upon him by the supreme
court OF the District Of Columbia,
and he argued his own case before
Judge A. g. Dayton in federal court
here Friday In an able and e1haus.
tive manner. reading many citations
aud referring to cases and precedents
to establish his contention, besides
presenting In q logical manner the
law covering the case. Associated
with him in the case Is Attorney
Charles Mccamic. his attorney. Mr..
Fields was listened to by members
of the bar and others with profound
attention as he eyinced the posses
sion Of extensive legal knowledge
and is fluent speaker. Noticeable
was the lack of sentiment in his adj
dress. 1t being confined to the cold
facts and the law.
The petitioner argued that the
sentence was void because It was
beyond the power of the court under
the statute which is alien to It. AL
so, he claimed the sentence was void,
because 1t was not due process OF
law as the statue does not apply.
Still, another reason given for his
liberty is sentence subjects the petit
toner to involuntary servitude for
no crime. He argued also that the
sentence is void because 1t is based
exclusively on forced judicial ret
respective and enlarged application,
the forfeiture clause gives
unconstitutional effect and is there
ore null and void. Another reason
assigned is that the forfeiture clause
s omitted and 1t adds labor.
Fields and Andrew j. Lipseomh
we're chancery receivers for the
Washington Beneficial Endowment
ssseciat,lon and were bonded at $20,-
100. They were indicted November
70. 1903, for the alleged misappro-
,riation of funds of the association
everal years prior to that date and
ong before the statue under which
Fields was convicted was enacted by
act retroactive in Its
nature by the construction placed on
It by the trial court. They were
charged with Incorporating $751;
974.17 OF the funds OF the associa-
ion. And July %, 1905, sentence
Tor five years In the penitentiary was
imposed on Fields and he was taken
to the State prison at Moundsville
and confined therein and is now con-
fined.
The object Of the writ of habeas
corpus sought is to require the
warden to appear and show cause
why Fields is confined, or to compel
him to give him his liberty, II he
has not true and lawful reason for
the retention of Fields. to give him
his liberty by setting him free.
Attorney Fields began speaking at
1875 o'clock and continued until
the noon recess. When court re-
convened in the afternoon at Q
o'clock he resumed his argument.
He closed at $40 o'clock and was
followed by E. N. showalter for the
government.

VOORHEES, STATE TREASURER
The Republicans of the state United
on Morris County Man.

The Republicans of the state United
on Morris County Man.
AS was anticipated for a week or
more there was no serious opposition
to the electienfof, County Clerk Daniel
S.Voorhees to succeed Frank O. Briggs
as treasurer of the State of New Jer-
sey. When the caucus was held there
were few complimentary votes cast
for Senator Wakelee and Assemblyman
Elvins, but at their request they were
changed to Mr.. Voorhees,.
The joint meeting was held Thurs
day President Minch presiding. Sen
ator-elect Frank 0. Briggs having given
his letter of resignation to him, he
handed the massive to Secretary How
ard L. Tyler, who read it to the as
Sembled legislators. The other pre-
liminarieS completed, President Minch
announced that the nominations for
State treasurer were in order Sen
atOr Hillery at once nominated Mr..
Voorhees,, and Senator James r. Min
turn, of Hudson, placed IN nomination
Laurence L. Fell. OF East Orange.
The nominations were quickly sec
onded and a vote of the seventy-four
members present was taken.
Senators Colby and Brown and AS
semblyman Buck, Republicans, and
and Assem- blymen Hahn, Corish,
Breunig and VanBlarcom, Democrats,
were the abSentees.
NO excitement was in evidence, tn ;
vote being purely a partisan one, re-
Sultlng in the election of Mr.. Voor
heeS, Al TO 80. Wild cheering followed
the announcement Of the vote.
Senator HiHery then moved that the
joint session arise.
Mr.. voorhees, has been in politics
practically all his life, having been in
the County Clerks Office of Norris
county for the past thirty seven years.
He was born in Somerset county, but
his parents moved TO Morris when he
was a small child. AT the age OF Il
he went 10 work in a hardware store,
where he continued until he grew To
manhood.
In 1870 he was named to a place in
the County Clerks office by a Republi-
can, and in 1876 he was made d Deputy
County Clerk by a Democrat. He con-
tlnued in that capacity until 1898,
when he was elected County Clerk and
was reelected in 1903.
He has been an important factor in
the political and social life in Morris
county for many years, and is the best
known man In The county.
