LOUIS GLASS
GAINS POINT
IN His CASE
Convicted Telephone Official Se-
cures Advantage in His Eff
forts for a Reversal
Appellate Court Decides He May
Incorporate Demurrer to In-
dictment in Record

Louis Glass, convicted some months
Home telephone franchise, has gained
an advantage in his fight for a re-
versal before the appellate court APP
parently disregarding the statute bear
ing on the subject, decisions of the
supreme court, and its own previous
first district has handed down a deci-
sion that the Glass attorneys may, at
this late day, incorporate in the record
the demurrer to the original indict-
ment.
The effect of this will be a delay in
deciding the appeal, and perhaps the
finding of a flaw in the Indictment
which was declared good and sufficient
long ago.
T. c. Coogan and James L. Robson,
attorneys for Glass. some time ago
filed an appeal in the higher court,
and the prosecution also submitted a
brief bearing on the subject.
OVERLOOKED THE MATTER
AFTER examining the Dr1eI submitted
by the attorneys for the people the
Glass attorneys fled motion for a
diminution of the record for the pur-
pose of bringing into the case a copy
of the demurrer filed in the lower
court. They had overlooked the mat
ter in filing bill of exceptions to
perfect their appeal and did not be-
come aware of the fact until it was
too late.
w. II. Cobb, assistant attorney gen
eral, and Robert w. Harrison, assistant
district attorney, appeared for the peo-
pie and argued against the granting of
the motion. They cited the case of the
people VS.. Long, in which the supreme
court ruled specifically against the
granting of motion for diminution un-
der just such circumstances as obtain in
the Glass case. They also submitted
numerous other cases, in one of which
Judge Hall, now a member Of the ap-
pellate court. handed down a decision
denying similar motion on the same
grounds.
| In spite of all the cases brought to

attorney, however, the court reversed

pared by Judge Kerrigan granting the
motion. Judges Hall and Cooper con-
